Dermatologists like to think of the skin as a brick wall. With eczema, the mortar, or the white stuff between the bricks, is defective. The proteins that keep the skin together are defective. Things leak into the skin and cause inflammation and things leak out of the skin and irritate it. It's really important to keep the barrier of the brick wall intact as much as possible so allergens and bacteria don't get in. The best way to take care of that brick wall is moisturization.
