If you've ever had it, you know it: the dry, red, unbearably itchy skin condition called eczema. And you're not alone – 1 in every 10 people in the United States suffer from it. It's most common among children, but often found in adults, as well.

"Eczema" actually refers to a number of skin conditions, many of which are related to allergy.

Contact dermatitis is a reaction to allergens and irritants such as soap, detergent, scratchy clothes or nickel jewelry.
