Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a skin condition commonly seen among young children but can indeed occur at any age. It is a chronic condition that often recurs and makes your life miserable and sometimes embarrassing since you cannot resist the urge to “scratch off the itching skin.”
So, is there a way to stop eczema from annoying you?
Symptoms of Eczema
Eczema symptoms can occur on any part of the skin. However, various symptoms may occur depending on the individual. Common signs and symptoms of eczema include:
- Dry skin
- Rough skin
- Cracked skin
- Thickened skin
- Sensitive skin
- Itchiness
- Rashes
- Small bumps
- Oozing and crusting
For many people, eczema appears and disappears randomly. They may have a very long period without eczema, thinking they are done with it, only to notice eczema suddenly flares again.
Causes of Eczema
Many factors can lead to eczemas, such as the environment and genetics. If your parents have eczema, you are very likely to have eczema as well.
On the other hand, examples of environmental factors include:
Irritants and allergens
These include anything that can irritate your skin, such as soaps, detergents, shampoos, and disinfectants. Also, if your skin is sensitive, allergens like bugs, pollens, certain foods, and mold can result in eczema.
Microbes
Research has shown that pathogens, such as staphylococcus aureus overgrowth, can cause eczema.
Weather
Uncomfortable temperature and humidity may irritate your skin and lead to eczema.
Hormones
Females may experience increased eczema symptoms during pregnancy and the menstrual cycle.
How to Relieve Eczema?
Avoid triggering foods and irritants
People with allergies and eczema should avoid triggering foods, such as seafood. Spicy or pungent foods, such as onions and garlic, should also be avoided since they may irritate you.
Keep your environment cozy and clean
Use non-irritant antiseptics to disinfect your room, laundry, and bedding. Also, remember to have an air conditioner or humidifier in your room to keep the environment comfortable and humid.
Avoid allergens
If you know what causes your allergic reactions, stay away from them. If you do not, it is better to do an allergy test to find out.
Use medications carefully
It is important to identify the type of your eczema before applying any medications. Visit the doctor to determine the underlying cause and take medications according to the prescription.
