How To Deal With Eczema Flare Ups

Eczema and dermatitis are two very common skin problems. Some people may shrug them off as a simple rash. However, they can both lead to problems if they are 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" is used to refer 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. The different types of dermatitis include atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, psoriasis and urticaria.

But, in order to know which type of dermatitis you are suffering from you need to have some context, if not you're looking at a simple rash that you know nothing about.

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)

More severe cases of eczema may present:

• bleeding or oozing

• flaking, crusting, blistering, or 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 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. Everyone has a different trigger that can set off their eczema flare-up, however, the most common among these are contact with harsh ingredients 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 you have problems with scratchy clothing you should avoid them and buy clothing that is made with softer fibers. Prefer clothing made with cotton and linen fibers instead of spending money on clothing made from 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 make it less likely that you develop an eczema flare-up.

You can also help alleviate your eczema and reduce the number of flare-ups by changing your skin care routine. 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

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