Clinical signs

We must focus on the level of pruritus

(itching)

• It’s the essential sign,

 

• And also the essential problem

 

• It can lead to complications

     - Localized: lesions from scratching, secondary infections

     - General : irritability, trouble sleeping and paying attention, (school, work)

 

• Only improvement in the eczema can improve the overall situation

 

• But behavioral techniques can also help
