Co-published by: Skin Moisturizing. Skin eczema is a dermatological condition that affects almost all of us at some time in our lives. This ailment is a form of dermatitis, or inflammation of the epidermis/skin. Many other persistent dermatological conditions are often called eczema although they may be diagnosed otherwise. These conditions include the following forms of manifestation: skin dryness with repeated rash symptoms, redness and inflammation, crusts and even cracks formation, flaking, oozing or even bleeding of the tissues. Discoloration of the skin has also been noticed on the skin portions where the lesions are healed, and although less often, scarring may appear too.
Skin eczema can appear with all age groups. It affects children and adults alike; yet it seems to be more frequent in the case of babies. Unfortunately the exact cause of this condition is still not known.
So far, scientists have revealed a genetic-related aspect in the occurrence of skin eczema but the explanations are far from being clear or accurate. Therefore, one may develop eczema if there is another family member who suffers from it.
Just as the causes for skin eczema are still unknown, so is the case of the cure for it. In the absence of a remedy, there are only solutions to alleviate symptoms and keep the disease under control. In order to identify the right remedy, a diagnosis for the typology will follow.
The treatment is focused on the patient's medical history and the gravity of the condition. The drugs that doctors usually recommend in eczema cases are meant to reduce the itching, limit the inflammation of the skin, remove the lesions and, in case of infections, clear them up. Besides, if only one treatment is not sufficient a combination of different therapies could be the solution.
In addition to the doctor's prescribed medicines, the patient may influence positively the evolution of the disease or act in the direction of prevention. You should avoid scratching even if it itches badly, plus it is always good to moisturize the affected skin area. Then, don't allow skin contact with household cleaning substances that contain very irritant chemicals. Keep dust away from the living environment. Then, the clothes one wears constantly rub against the body aggravating skin eczema; therefore try to wear something loose and preferably cotton-made. Although the disease seems to go away under the impact of the treatment, prevention measures remain valid permanently. Thus, one can better monitor the condition and keep it under control. - 20607
