Dealing with Eczema and Dermatitis

Eczema and dermatitis are common, yet bothersome, 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 will take a look at these common skin issues. Additionally, we will give you some tips on how to treat them.

Dermatitis

The term "dermatitis" the name given to a group of skin problems that cause inflammation. What these different types of inflammation all have in common is that they show an allergic reaction to a specific allergen. Atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, psoriasis and urticaria are all 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

• itching and skin dryness

• skin edema (swelling)

Some of the more severe cases of eczema can present any of the following:

• bleeding or oozing

• crusting, flaking, blistering, and cracking

Mild forms of eczema will probably subside fairly quickly. However, when more severe forms of eczema can lead to breaking of the skin and subsequent infections. This is the main reason that it is important to deal with eczema promptly.

First thing is identifying 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 detergents and soaps, try changing the brand you are using. 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. Prefer clothing that is made with cottons and linens instead of clothing made with wool.

If your flare-ups are caused by heat and humidity, try to avoid areas that have both. Stay in shady areas and away from open flames. When you exercise, do so in an open, well ventilated area.

During the summer you should sip cool water to help control your body's core temperature. This will help reduce your chances of having flare-ups.

Changing your skin care routine can also help alleviate your eczema and help reduce the number of flare-ups. Natural skin care balms can give you a gentler treatment than can traditional skin care products. Traditional skin care products usually contain fragrances, fillers and chemical ingredients that can aggravate your eczema.

Healing Balms Reduce Eczema Flare-Ups

Always look for products that are fragrance and alcohol free. Also, stay away from the following natural extracts: cinnamon, menthol and ylang-ylang. A great dry skin lotion will also help alleviate the dry skin that usually accompanies eczema.
