Understanding Eczema: Causes and Effective Treatments
Eczema is a skin disease often mistaken for other skin allergies like rashes and inflammations. The main cause is reduced moisture content in the skin which makes it damp and vulnerable to bacterial growth.
Many allopathic medicines can cause eczema as a side effect. Stress and perfumed toiletries often trigger skin irritation that may develop into eczema.
Common Causes of Eczema
- Climatic changes and weather shifts
- Using hard water or impure water
- Toiletries, soaps and detergents
- Pollen, pet hair and dust
- Synthetic fibers and woolens
- Stress, tension and anxiety
- Chemicals and reducing agents
- Oils and solvents
- Cold, flu and other infections
How to Manage Eczema
Climatic changes affect air moisture levels, which impacts skin health. In areas with hard water, installing water purifiers can help prevent skin problems.
While it's impossible to avoid all triggers like pollen, you can reduce eczema symptoms by:
- Using supplements and maintaining a healthy lifestyle
- Improving living conditions and air quality
- Using a humidifier to regulate indoor moisture
- Following medical treatments alongside dietary changes
- Using natural beauty remedies when possible
While the exact cause of eczema remains unclear, maintaining good hygiene and proper skin care can significantly help manage this chronic skin condition.
