Eczema |How Familiar are you?

Had you been joked of having an eczema by one of your bully classmates back in primary or secondary school, how did you react?  Especially if you are somehow clueless of the word's true meaning.  Eczema is a very familiar word for me but honestly I am not able to give an exact tagalog word to translate eczema.   I guess this dilemma of translating english words to filipino words is an issue that can be ignored without any problem.  But there are also times it can bother us and bring us to atleast google the word to satisfy our curious minds.

I managed to gather some picture from this website showing a lady that developed an eczema called allergic contact dermatitis.

Other types of  skin conditions can be classified as eczema, too.  Dandruff and baby rashes are both classified as eczema.  In general terms, it is a common understanding that an eczema is a skin condition that results for the skin to become swollen,  itchy and irritated.
