The best method to find out if we know enough about any subject is to try and answer question related to that. That tells us precisely about the extent to which we know. This exercise also helps us know more about the subject. As eczema is a common problem, try and find out how much you know about Atopic Dermatitis, a type of eczema.
1. Atopic dermatitis is contagious.
Answer- Atopic dermatitis is not contagious. Any bacteria or virus does not cause this. It is a disease in which the body itself attacks the skin. Atopic dermatitis is therefore not contagious and you can freely touch anybody who has atopic dermatitis.
2. People who suffer from atopic dermatitis in childhood generally have dry skin in adulthood.
Answer- this is true. If you have dry skin it is possible that you had atopic dermatitis in your childhood. It is the genetic nature of people to have dry skin in adult age if they had atopic dermatitis in the childhood.
3.If you have atopic dermatitis, your chances of getting asthma and hay fever increase.
Answer- Atopic dermatitis, asthma and hay fever are all considered atopic. If you have one of these conditions, your chance of getting the other increases. Not only that if somebody in your family has asthma, it is more probable for you to have any of the above three conditions that are all atopic. Also if any food triggers your atopic dermatitis, it will also trigger any of these diseases if you have them. I am sure that this quiz will help you understand eczema better.
