Eczema is often referred to as atopic dermatitis. The term eczema is broadly applied to a range of persistent skin problems.
These symptoms include dryness and skin rashes that are characterized by one or more of symptoms like:

Scratching
Redness
Flaky skin
Atopic dermatitis is also known as infantile eczema, when it occurs in infants. Infantile eczema may extend into childhood and adolescence and it often involves an oozing, crusting rash mainly on the scalp and face, although it can occur anywhere on the body . The appearance of the rash tends to modify, becoming drier in childhood and then scaly or thickened in adolescence while the itching is persistent.
