Eczema

Eczema – Overview

It is normal that one can experience an itch once in a while, but, when the itch is frequent and causes irritation to the skin, it progresses to eczema.

Eczema, also known as dermatitis, is regarded as a condition where the patient experiences inflammation of the skin, which is characterised by itching, redness and an outbreak of lesions. It is not a contagious disease, which means it does not spread from one person to another.

Eczema isn’t just a painful, chronic problem; for many, it is a major health burden and a big drain on the quality of life.

If the skin is not properly managed and cared for, the disease may flare up, resulting in significant itching and discomfort.

More on eczema

Eczema has been regarded as a long-term inflammatory condition of the skin, causing itching, redness and lesions/eruptions on the skin. Commonly, it is known to affect about 20% children and about 1 to 2% adults across the world. It is also known to affect people at any age; however, it is frequently observed in infants. Among infants, eczema generally tends to disappear by the age of three, but it may continue into adulthood for a few patients. This condition affects both sexes.

Even though eczema is not a life-threatening condition, it can have a remarkable impact on a patient’s life. Additionally, a patient may suffer from issues such as discomfort from the condition, altered self-image, anxiety about the nature of the disease, etc., which the physician also needs to focus on while treating the patients.

Phases of the disease may range from symptoms getting worse to getting better by themselves, which implicates an unpredictable course in several patients. However, early diagnosis and treatment can provide relief to patients from the associated, bothersome symptoms.

Eczema – Causes

Several factors are responsible for causing eczema (dermatitis/skin allergy); however, the exact origin and mechanism of the conditions are still not clear. Several studies have suggested many factors, including genetic as well as environmental factors, that are responsible for triggering eczema.

In most cases, people may show abnormal function in their immune system, where their body responds abnormally to external allergens, which does not harm people with a good immune system.

Some of the causes of eczema include the following:

environmental allergens: house dust, sand, pollen, smoke, moulds, animal dander, etc.;.
dietary allergens: milk and milk products, fish, soy, eggs, peanuts, etc.;
contact with irritant substances such as soaps, cleaning products, detergents, cosmetics, perfumes, certain forms of clothing, rubber, jewellery, watches, metals such as nickel, etc.;
genetic factor – an important cause in the development of eczema. Patients with eczema have commonly reported a family history of allergies, asthma, hay fever or other forms of allergic diseases;
psychological stress, a major cause in several patients; however, its correlation with triggering altered immune response remains unclear;
alteration in temperature and humidity;
dry climate and very cold temperature;
abnormal blood circulation, especially in the legs, that further causes stasis dermatitis; and
unknown factors that trigger certain forms of dermatitis, such as seborrhoeic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, etc.
