The skin is the symptom, not the source
Eczema, clinically called atopic dermatitis, affects roughly 10 to 30 percent of children and a significant share of adults in India, according to data published in the Indian Journal of Dermatology. Most adults manage it with moisturisers, topical steroids, and antihistamines. Many cycle through flares for years without resolution. The reason is straightforward: the skin is where the inflammation surfaces, but the immune dysregulation driving it often originates in the gut.
