The term "eczema" is broadly applied to a range of persistent or recurring skin rashes characterized by redness, skin edema, itching and dryness, with possible crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing, or bleeding.
Eczema diagnosis is generally based on the appearance of inflamed, itchy skin in eczema sensitive areas such as face, chest and other skin crease areas. Given the many possible reasons for eczema flare ups, a doctor is likely to ascertain a number of other things before making a judgment:

• An insight into family history • Dietary habits • Lifestyle habits • Allergic tendencies • Any prescribed drug intake • Any chemical or material exposure at home or workplace

There are many types of treatment for Eczema which include the use of moistening agents e.g. 'emollients', corticosteroid steroid ointments, creams or lotions, anti-itch drugs, such as antihistamine, antibiotics and light therapy using ultraviolet light. Doctors will sometimes advise avoiding any scented products and over washing of the skin. Diets and nutrition can also be investigated.. Other than direct treatments of the symptoms, no cure is presently known for most types of dermatitis; even cortisone treatments and immunomodulation may often have only minor effects on what may be a complex problem. As the condition is often related to family history of allergies (and thus heredity), it is probable that gene therapy or genetic engineering might help.
Non-conventional medical approaches include traditional herbal medicine, aromatherapy and others. Lavender oil has a multitude of uses, one of which is in relation to the skin where it is reputed to be calming, soothing, and can help in the treatment of conditions such as acne and eczema. Lavender is reputed to have a generally calming effect which can benefit an eczema sufferer especially when the cause is emotional or stress related.
