All you need to know about Eczema in Rohingya language.

Eczema is a non- contagious skin condition where patches of skin become inflamed, itchy, cracked, and of rough texture.

Certain foods and environmental triggers can cause or even worsen episodes of Eczema flare.

Atopic dermatitis, the most common form of Eczema usually develops in early childhood and is more common in people who have a family history of suffering from the same condition.

Eczema cases among Rohingya refugees are high due to the environmental hostility, living conditions and lack of emollients. Many Rohingya refugees face difficulty in receiving health care. Secondary skin infections as a result of frequent itching, undiagnosed skin ailments, allergies, lack of proper nutrition and poor living conditions and hygiene are common among Rohingya refugees.

Here, Rohingya Medics Organisation talks in detail about Eczema with the hope of reducing cases and complications related to the debilitating skin condition.
