Exzema
Skin

Exzema is an inflammation of the skin and may be associated with an allergic reaction, although the cause is often unknown. Childhood exzema is sometimes found behind the knee or in the bend of an elbow and will often clear up by the time the child reaches puberty.
The most common of all exzemas is Atopic and has been linked with asthma and hay fever. People of all ages can be affected, but there seems to be a trend for it within some families.
