ECZEMA

You really don’t want to have the map of an unknown country on your back or on your face or a weird looking patch on any part of your body, especially those parts that can be seen easily by anyone, it can be quite embarrassing, what am I talking about? Eczema. It can best be described as a non-contagious skin condition, which is characterized by hot dry itchy skin, with symptoms that often fluctuate seasonally and even over the course of the day. Eczema typically begins in early childhood.

Research indicates that eczema may be genetically determined and studies show that there is often a family history of allergies, asthma, eczema or hay fever.

 Like an allergy, eczema tends to flair up when exposed to certain triggers, especially mechanical irritants, allergens, emotional stress, heat and sweating.

 Simple lifestyle changes can go a long way toward treating the condition. Try these tips to help keep your skin feeling soft and comfortable

Know your eczema triggers:

Many things can trigger a flare-up of eczema, from scented soaps to dust mites. The important thing is to learn what your triggers are, and then try to avoid them. Moisturize dry, itchy skin often:                           

Using moisturizer is one of the best ways to help keep eczema under control. But it’s important to use moisturizer often, especially after washing and bathing. For best results, choose a plain, unscented moisturizer. Look for one that doesn’t contain additives or chemicals, which can irritate skin.

Manage extreme temperatures at home : 

Changes in temperature or humidity can often cause eczema to flare up. Although you can’t control the weather, you can try to control the conditions inside your home.

 Don’t scratch eczema patches :

Yes, eczema is itchy. But scratching can actually make you itch more, also damage your skin and lead to an infection. Instead of scratching, find ways to help control the itch, such as cold compresses, frequent moisturizing, baths, and medications.

 Wear comfortable clothes that don't irritate skin.

Cotton and cotton blends are usually the best choices for people with eczema. Wools and synthetic fabrics, such as polyester, can irritate the skin. Washing new clothing before you wear it can also reduce irritation.

Watch your stress level to avoid eczema flare-ups.

You’re more likely to have a flare-up when you’re under stress. And yet, the itching and discomfort of eczema can add to stress by making you feel angry and frustrated. To break the cycle of stress, try learning stress reduction techniques such as deep breathing, yoga, or meditation.

Use eczema me`dication when needed:

If lifestyle changes alone don’t help your eczema, talk with your doctor about using medication to help ease your eczema symptoms. Your doctor may suggest an over-the-counter cream or oral antihistamine, or suggest a prescription medication. If your doctor has already prescribed a medication, use it as directed.
