Eczemotes

Eczemotes refers to individuals affected by eczema, a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. The term, while not a formal medical designation, functions as a collective noun or a descriptor for people with eczema, similar to how "diabetics" refers to people with diabetes. Usage of "eczemotes" is somewhat informal and less common in professional medical literature, which typically prefers person-first language, such as "individuals with eczema" or "patients with eczema." The term emphasizes the condition as a defining characteristic, which can be considered less sensitive than person-first language. The severity and manifestation of eczema varies greatly among eczemotes, and the condition can significantly impact quality of life. Management involves a combination of emollients, topical corticosteroids, and sometimes, systemic treatments.
