PHI with Eczema flexuarum (undergoing treatment)

How does this condition affect your private health insurance?

Ekzema flexuarum, commonly known as flexural eczema or a manifestation of Atopic Dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by intensely itchy, red, and often scaly patches in the creases of the body, such as the elbows, knees, neck, and ankles. In its ongoing treatment (laufende Behandlung), individuals manage periods of flares and remissions. The skin may become lichenified (thickened) from repeated scratching. It often starts in childhood and can persist into adulthood, significantly impacting quality of life due to discomfort, sleep disturbances, and potential for secondary infections. Management typically involves topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, emollients, and lifestyle adjustments.
