Allergic contact dermatitis- Develops when the body’s immune system reacts against a substance in contact with the skin.
Irritant contact dermatitis- This type of eczema is caused by frequent contact with everyday substances, such as detergents and chemicals, which are irritating to the skin.
Infantile seborrheic eczema- also known as cradle cap, affects babies under one year of age. Does not cause discomfort and clears off in a few months.
Adult seborrheic eczema- resembles a mild case of dandruff. May require anti-fungal cream if the condition becomes infected.
Varicose eczema commonly affects the skin around ankles due to poor circulation. Can cause an ulcer if left untreated.
