Everything You Need to Know About Eczema – According to Dermatologists

Eczema is a multigenerational condition that can affect individuals at any age — from infancy to adulthood. In fact, 15–20% of children globally experience eczema symptoms. While researchers are still uncovering exactly why eczema (also called atopic dermatitis) develops, its symptoms are well documented: dry, itchy, inflamed, and cracked skin — which often leads to discomfort, disrupted sleep, and distress, especially in children.

To better understand eczema, we spoke with Dr. Farah Siddiqui (Dermatologist and Pediatric Skin Specialist) and Dr. Aamir Khan (Consultant Dermatologist and Ayurvedic Practitioner), both of whom are medical professionals — and parents — with first-hand experience managing eczema in their own families. Their personal journeys and clinical expertise helped shape the natural formulation behind Tadheen Skin Repair Ointment — a steroid-free, plant-powered ointment made for fast itch relief and long-term skin healing.

🔬 What Does Eczema Look Like on the Skin?

“Eczema often results from a weakened skin barrier,” explains Dr. Aamir Khan. “When that barrier breaks down, the skin loses moisture more easily and becomes more sensitive to irritants.”

Common symptoms include:

  • Persistent dryness

  • Itching and irritation

  • Redness and inflammation

  • Cracking, flaking, or bleeding

Dr. Farah Siddiqui recalls, “My son was just 2 when he had a severe eczema flare-up. One night, I found him awake, quietly scratching until his skin bled. It was heartbreaking. I felt helpless.”

Her desire to find a gentle, effective solution for her child — free from steroids and harsh chemicals — eventually led to the creation of Tadheen Skin Repair Ointment.

⚡ What Causes Eczema Flare-ups?

According to Dr. Khan, “There are two primary factors: a compromised skin barrier and an overactive immune response. When allergens or irritants get past the skin barrier, they trigger inflammation.”

Eczema tends to run in families — if a parent has it, the child has a higher risk. But environmental triggers also play a major role, including:

  • Dry air or weather changes

  • Certain foods or allergens

  • Stress

  • Harsh soaps or detergents

  • Air pollution or traffic-related exposure

Understanding personal triggers is key to managing flare-ups and avoiding unnecessary discomfort.

💚 How to Treat Eczema — According to Experts

There’s no permanent cure (yet), but dermatologists agree that strengthening the skin barrier is the first and most important step in eczema care.

“When the skin barrier is strong, allergens and irritants can't penetrate as easily, which reduces immune system overreaction and flare-ups,” explains Dr. Siddiqui.

That’s where Tadheen Skin Repair Ointment comes in — a formula rooted in nature, science, and real-life experience.
