Eczema
Tuesday 14th February 2017
Eczema is a very common skin condition affecting up to 60% of the population at any one time. Whilst it is more prevalent in childhood, some adults will be affected by the condition for life.
Eczema is defined as an inflammatory condition of the skin resulting in sore red and dry patches that can bleed.
There are 5 different types of Eczema
Discoid Eczema - a type of eczema that occurs in circular or oval patches on the skin
Contact Dermatitis - a type of eczema that occurs when the body comes into contact with a particular substance
Varicose Eczema - a type of eczema that most often affects the lower legs and is caused by problems with the flow of blood through the leg veins
Seborrhoeic Eczema - a type of eczema where red, scaly patches develop on the sides of the nose, eyebrows, ears and scalp
Dyshidrotic Eczema (pompholyx) - a type of eczema that causes tiny blisters to erupt across the palms of the hands
Left untreated Eczema can leave your skin feeling incredibly tight and sore and will often flare up in times of stress. Other factors which affect the condition include diet, weather change and lifestyle.
Often people who suffer with Eczema will be prone to other allergies such Hayfever or Dust Mite allergies and in children prone to Asthma also.
Whilst many Drs will prescribe medicated or steroid creams for the condition, these creams can be strong and often cause pain or stinging upon application.
Being very careful not to use perfumed cosmetics or products containing alcohol can be a good starting point to help reduce an Eczema outbreak. Paying attention to diet and limiting common allergy causing foods such as wheat, sugar, dairy and yeast can also make a difference.
