What is Eczema?

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a common chronic skin condition that causes inflammation and irritation of the skin. Sufferers experience dry, itchy, and red patches on the skin. Eczema can vary in severity and sufferers may have periods of flare-ups and remissions.

The exact cause of eczema remains unclear, but it is thought to stem from a mix of genetic and environmental factors. Individuals with eczema often have a compromised skin barrier, allowing irritants, allergens and bacteria to penetrate more easily, resulting in inflammation.

What Causes Eczema?

The exact cause of eczema remains unclear, however it may result from a combination of factors. Common risk factors and triggers include irritants like soaps, detergents, certain shampoos and washing up liquids.

Environmental factors or allergens such as cold and dry weather, dampness and pollen can also contribute.

How is Eczema Treated?

With no known cure for eczema, they are various options available depending on the severity.

Those affected must focus on minimising symptoms to reduce inflammation and itching. The best way to manage eczema is through appropriate skincare, such as using moisturising creams. Moisturisers help keep the skin hydrated, which can relieve itching and promote healing.
