How To Deal With Eczema Flare Ups

Eczema and dermatitis are two very common skin problems. Some people may shrug it off as a simple skin rash, however, they can both lead to more serious problems if left untreated.

In this article we'll look at these common skin issues while also giving you some basic tips on how to treat them.

Dermatitis

The term "dermatitis" refers to a group of skin problems that cause inflammation. What these different types of inflammation share in common is an allergic reaction to a specific substance or allergen. Contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and urticaria are all different types of dermatitis.

But, without a specific context, dermatitis just refers to a rash on the skin.

Eczema

Eczema is a type of dermatitis, usually atopic dermatitis in children, which is commonly characterized by one or several of the following symptoms:

• redness

• skin dryness and itching

• skin edema (swelling)

Severe cases of eczema can present:

• bleeding or oozing

• blistering, cracking, crusting, and flaking

Mild forms of eczema will usually subside rather quickly, nevertheless, more severe forms of eczema can actually lead to breaking of the skin and subsequent infections. This is why it is so important that you deal with eczema promptly.

First of all you need to identify the triggers that set off eczema flare-ups. Every person has a different set of triggers. Regardless of this, some common triggers include contact with harsh ingredients and scratchy fabrics, and exposure to sunlight, heat and wind.

Identifying your triggers and avoiding them is essential if you want to keep your eczema under control.

If you react negatively to cleaning agents such as detergents and soaps, try using natural cleansers or switching the brand. If scratchy clothing is your trigger then simple make sure that you steer clear of them and buy clothing that is softer or doesn't cause an allergic reaction. Try purchasing clothing made with cottons and linens. Instead of wool, invest in cashmere garments.

If your eczema flare-ups because of heat and humidity, then try to avoid these areas. Stay in shady areas and away from open flames. When you exercise, do so in an open, well ventilated area.

By sipping cool water during the summer or when you are in a hot room, you can help regulate your body's core temperature. This will help decrease your chances of having eczema flare-ups.

Changing your skin care routine can also help alleviate your eczema and help reduce the number of flare-ups. Because traditional skin care products usually contain fragrances, fillers and chemical ingredients that can aggravate your eczema, it is often best to use natural skin care balms.

Healing Balms Treat Eczema Flare-Ups

You should always look for products that are fragrance and alcohol free and steer clear of products containing cinnamon, menthol and ylang-ylang. A good dry skin lotion can also help soothe dry skin problems that often accompany eczema.
