Everything You Need to Know About Eczema: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment


December 4, 2022


Eczema is a skin condition that causes the skin to be inflamed and itchy; there is also a rash in the affected area that can become irritated and flaky. Unfortunately, eczema is an extremely common ailment and can range from very severe to very mild in its effects. Though it mainly manifests itself from a very young age, eczema can afflict a person of any age. According to Healthline, there are seven types of eczema: atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, dyshidrotic eczema, nummular eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, and stasis dermatitis. 


The Symptoms of Eczema

Each person with eczema may experience different symptoms, even if they have a specific diagnosis. This condition is non-contagious and symptoms range from dry, itchy skin to scaly and red bumps and blisters. In more severe cases, the affected area can crack, bleed, or form a crust. The most common eczema symptoms include dry and sensitive skin, red or inflamed skin, dark-colored patches on the skin, itchy rash, scaly and thickened skin, oozing patches, and scab formation on the patches. Eczema can be an extremely uncomfortable condition to deal with.


What Causes Eczema?

The exact cause of eczema is unknown, but we do know that it is not contagious. Researchers believe it stems from a combination of genetic and environmental triggers. When an irritant or allergen from inside or outside the body triggers the immune system, the body reacts by producing inflammation. This process is the most common reason for eczema symptoms. Many people are able to find moderate relief by managing and limiting contact with foods or environmental triggers that cause flare-ups; however, not all triggers are shared between individuals. 


How To Treat Eczema

Eczema has an underestimated effect on the lives of those who deal with it. There must be careful thought put into showering, moisturizing, and avoiding triggers; not to mention the maddening and never-ending itch that persists day after day. This unfortunate situation begs the question: "why has no one found a solution yet?" Since there is such a wide variety of triggers among sufferers, it’s incredibly difficult to identify the sole reason for this odd skin condition. Fortunately, though, there are great creams that are approved by the National Eczema Association for use on eczema-prone and eczema-irritated skin.
