Abstract:-

Eczema describes a clinical and histological pattern, which can be acute or chronic and has several causes. Acutely, epidermal oedema (spongiosis) and intra-epidermal vesiculation (producing multilocular blisters) predominate, whereas with chronicity there is more epidermal thickening (acanthosis). Vasodilatation and T-cell lymphocytic infiltration of the upper dermis also occur.^[1]

KEYWORDS:-

Eczema, Epidermal oedema, Epidermal thickening, Vasodilation.
