Eczema is a common skin disease, also known as atopic dermatitis. It is usually a chronic disease characterized by skin inflammation and itching. Eczema often begins in early childhood, but it can occur in adults as well.
The specific cause of eczema is unknown, but it is often linked to genetics, immune system abnormalities, impaired skin barrier function, and environmental factors. Common triggers include dry climate, skin irritants (such as chemicals and detergents), allergens (such as pollen, dust mites, and pet dander), and stress.
Symptoms of eczema can vary from person to person, but common features include dry skin, inflammation, redness, itching, and rashes. Symptoms can also vary in severity, from mild dryness and itching to severe skin breakdown, bleeding, and infection.
Treatment methods for eczema include the following aspects:
1. Moisturize: Keeping your skin moisturized is key. Use a moisturizer and avoid harsh detergents and soaps. Apply moisturizer as soon as possible after bathing.
2. Avoid irritation: Try to avoid contact with substances that are irritating to the skin, such as chemicals, fragrances and dyes. Wear soft, breathable clothing and avoid rough fibers and tight clothing.
3. Manage allergies: If you know you are sensitive to certain allergens, try to avoid them. Allergy testing can determine what substances you are sensitive to.
4. Manage stress: Stress may worsen the symptoms of eczema. Try using stress management techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, and exercise to reduce stress.
Warm reminder: Children may feel unbearable itching due to eczema, may become irritable, and lose their temper easily. I hope parents will be considerate. Just imagine what it would feel like to have a lot of ants crawling on your body. The whole world can't understand him, but his parents certainly can't.
