Eczema is a common skin condition in older people. Eczema is a long-term condition and older people may have had atopic eczema for many years; it may also be an acute condition, caused by a drug reaction. Many older people experience eczema and dermatitis for the first time as a consequence of ageing skin or triggered by environmental factors. Community nurses need to be able to assess older people's skin and recognize any signs and symptoms of eczema to ensure prompt treatment and good ongoing skin care.
湿疹是老年人常见的皮肤疾病。湿疹是一种长期病症，老年人可能患有特应性皮炎多年；它也可能是由药物反应引起的急性病症。许多老年人首次出现湿疹和皮炎是皮肤老化的结果，或是由环境因素引发的。社区护士需要能够评估老年人的皮肤状况，识别湿疹的任何体征和症状，以确保及时治疗和持续良好的皮肤护理。
