What Is The Cause Of Eczema
One of the most common causes of eczema is due to genetic disposition. Either parent, both parents, or even a grandparent may carry the necessary DNA for this condition, where a generation can be skipped altogether.
Others can develop eczema later in life due to allergies and sensitive skin.
Eczema is often referred to as leakage of the skin which becomes very sensitive to the environment with certain substances having more irritation than others.
So what causes eczema to flare up? There are many common culprits which seem to be pretty universal in eczema and allergy sufferers.
These include:
These substances, among others, can bring on an attack of eczema and it would seem that there is little the individual can do to stop the initial flare-up, however there are ways to calm and treat the symptoms before they worsen.
When you feel yourself getting itchy and the skin becomes rashy, it is either because you have eaten or even inhaled something that you are allergic to, or your skin has come into contact with an irritant.
If your skin has come into contact with an irritant, you should immediately wash the area thoroughly. This does not mean a quick splash of water but a good clean using unscented, dermatologically tested soap. Once the area is clean, dry gently with a clean towel and moisturize the skin with your chosen moisturizer that you know does not cause you to feel itchy.
