What is Eczema?
Eczema is a general term for any superficial inflammatory process involving the epidermis primarily, marked early by redness, itching, minute papules and vesicles, weeping, oozing and crusting, and later by scaling, lichenification and often pigmentation.
The word eczema comes from the Greek word “ekzein” meaning to effervesce, or bubble, or boil over. It is a form of dermatitis and can be used widely to describe any rash-like skin conditions. It is usually used specifically to refer to the most common type of these skin conditions: atopic dermatitis.
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition that commonly starts during infancy and continues through into childhood. Some people outgrow the condition while others will continue to have it into adulthood.
Symptoms of Eczema
Eczema may be different for each person. It may even look different or affect different parts of the body from at different times of an outbreak. The rash can be mild, moderate, or severe. Generally, people with eczema suffer from dry, sensitive skin. With an intense itch. The itch may be so bad that a person will scratch their skin until it bleeds, which can make the rash even worse, leading to even more inflammation, itching, and scarring. This is called the itch-scratch cycle.
Factors Influencing Eczema
The specific cause of eczema remains unknown, but it is believed to develop due to a combination of hereditary and environmental factors that are known to bring out symptoms of eczema.
The most common contributors are:
• Irritants- soaps, detergents, shampoos, disinfectants, juices from fresh fruits, meats or vegetables
• Allergens- dust mites, pets, pollens, mold, dandruff
• Microbes- bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, viruses, certain fungi
• Hot and cold temperatures- hot weather, high and low humidity, perspiration from exercise
• Foods- dairy products, eggs, nuts and seeds, soy products, wheat
• Stress- it is not a cause of eczema but can make symptoms worse
• Hormones- women can experience worsening of eczema symptoms at times when their hormone levels are changing, for example during pregnancy and at certain points in their menstrual cycle
Be aware of and eliminate the factors that make you more sensitive to eczema.
