Eliminate the eczema

What is eczema?

Eczema is a general term for many types of skin inflammation, also known as dermatitis. The most common form of eczema is atopic dermatitis, which is an allergic reaction. Eczema can affect people of any age, although the condition is most common in infants.

Eczema Causes

Eczema appears due to an improper immune reaction in which the body fails to respond appropriately to stimuli combined with gene defects that lead to abnormalities in certain proteins of the skin.

Triggering factors:

  • Genetic predisposition: A positive family history of immune-response related diseases such as asthma, hay fever and eczema increases susceptibility to eczema.
  • Allergens: Food: Dairy products, eggs, nuts, citrus food, seafood, food colors & preservatives.
    Environmental: Dust mites, moulds, pollens, synthetic clothing, washing powders, cosmetics etc.
  • Emotional Stress may aggravate or even initiate eczema.

Eczema Symptoms and Signs

  • Usually, the first symptom of eczema is intense itching.
  • The rash appears later and is red and bumpy.
  • The rash itches or burns.
  • If it is scratched, it may ooze and become crusty.
  • In adults, chronic rubbing produces thickened plaques of skin also known as 'Lichenification'.
  • Painful cracks can develop over time.

 

Tips on How to Care for Your Skin

  • Prevent dry skin by taking warm (not hot) showers or baths.
  • Use a mild soap or body cleanser such as Dove or Oil of Olay, especially if you have eczema on your hands. Dry your hands completely after you wash them.
  • Prior to drying off, apply an effective emollient to your wet skin. Emollients are substances that inhibit the evaporation of water. A good, cheap emollient is plain petroleum jelly.
  • Avoid wearing tight-fitting, rough, or scratchy clothing.
  • Avoid scratching the rash. If you can't stop yourself from scratching, cover the area with a dressing.
  • Anything that causes sweating can irritate the rash. Avoid strenuous exercise during a flare.
  • Avoid physical and mental stress. Eating right, light activity, and adequate sleep will help you stay healthy, which can help prevent flares.
