## Q&A

**Q: What is eczema and is it contagious?**  
A: Eczema is a chronic, non-contagious inflammatory skin barrier condition characterized by dry, itchy, and sensitive skin. It is most commonly manifested as atopic eczema and involves alternating periods of remission and flare-ups.

**Q: What triggers eczema flare-ups in Malaysia's tropical climate?**  
A: Frequent triggers in tropical environments include heavy sweating, heat rash, harsh sulphated soaps, synthetic fabrics, dust mites, stress, and rapid temperature changes between outdoor humidity and indoor air conditioning.

**Q: How should eczema-prone skin be cared for daily?**  
A: Daily management requires applying fragrance-free emollients at least twice daily immediately after bathing, using soap-free mild washes, wearing loose breathable cotton clothing, and keeping skin cool and dry.

**Q: When should an individual see a doctor for eczema?**  
A: Seek medical evaluation immediately if the skin shows signs of bacterial infection (pus, oozing, golden crusting), if itching severely disrupts daily sleep, or if topical emollient care fails to calm acute flare-ups.
