The areas of skin that are typically affected and the severity of symptoms vary from person to person and also depend on your age. In babies, eczema mainly appears on the cheeks and the outer surfaces of the arms and legs and – less commonly – on the back, tummy and chest. Children, teenagers and adults who have eczema are most commonly affected on the backs of their knees, the insides of their elbows and the back of the neck. The itchy rash may also develop on the palms of their hands and soles of their feet. It rarely affects the face.
HEAL YOUR ECZEMA FROM THE INSIDE OUT WITH GERMAN SCIENCE OF HOMEOPATHY
HEAL YOUR ECZEMA FROM THE INSIDE OUT WITH GERMAN SCIENCE OF HOMEOPATHY Eczema is a common, chronic, non-infectious skin condition. The main symptom of this inflammatory disease is a very itchy rash. It often affects children. In many cases eczema gets better as the years go by, and it may go away for a while or disappear altogether. Acute flare-ups can really affect quality of life. The itching can be especially bad, making it difficult to concentrate and sleep well. Some people are embarrassed if their rash is visible to others. By taking good care of your skin, using medication and avoiding irritants and other things that can trigger the eczema, it is usually possible to relieve the symptoms at least enough to live a fairly normal life. Eczema is sometimes also called "atopic eczema" or "atopic dermatitis." Symptoms Symptoms of acute eczema include red and itchy skin, sometimes with blisters that easily break and then weep (leak liquid). Over time the skin may become dry and cracked, and also thicken. Its structure may also change, making it rougher. The main symptom is itching, which can often become unbearable. Eczema usually comes and goes in bouts or “flare-ups”: At times it will get worse (flare up) and at other times it will get better. It may also clear up completely for a while. The inflammation is only rarely constant. The areas of skin that are typically affected and the severity of symptoms vary from person to person and also depend on your age. In babies, eczema mainly appears on the cheeks and the outer surfaces of the arms and legs and – less commonly – on the back, tummy and chest. Children, teenagers and adults who have eczema are most commonly affected on the backs of their knees, the insides of their elbows and the back of the neck. The itchy rash may also develop on the palms of their hands and soles of their feet. It rarely affects the face. In people with eczema, the corneal layer doesn't provide enough protection because it is damaged by the inflammatory response occurring in the skin. Another possible cause is a mutated gene that affects the production of the protein filaggrin, which the body needs to make the skin's outer layer. Because there isn't enough filaggrin, the balance of fats in the skin changes, causing the skin to lose a lot of moisture. The damaged skin also provides less protection from irritants, allergens (substances that can trigger allergies) and germs that might cause infections. About 30-40% of all people who have eczema have an allergic type. They often have more severe skin problems, as well as hay fever or allergic asthma. Their immune system reacts to allergens by releasing antibodies, which causes inflammation. Tests can detect these antibodies in the blood. Allergens that sometimes play a role in eczema include dust mites, pollen and foods such as milk, eggs, nuts or fish. The skin may also be irritated by environmental factors or other substances that are not allergens. Examples include rough fabrics in contact with the skin such as scratchy wool, cigarette smoke and extreme heat or cold.
