Dermatitis or eczema – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1887882424
Dermatitis and eczema are synonymous and describe an inflammatory reaction pattern in the skin characterised histologically by spongiosis with varying degrees of acanthosis, and a superficial perivascular lympho-histiocytic infiltrate. The clinical features may include itching, redness, scaling and clustered papulo-vesicles. The condition may be induced by a wide range of external and internal factors acting singly or in combination.
