What is ECZEMA? Eczema or dermatitis is a group of skin conditions that can affect all age groups. One in twelve adults in the USA has eczema and up to one fifth of the children of school age also have eczema. The severity of this skin disease can vary. In mild forms the skin is hot, itchy and dry. In more severe cases, the skin can become broken, raw and may even bleed. Eczema cannot be spread from person to person as it is not contagious. Depending on the type of eczema that a person may have, the causes of eczema are varied and many. Atopic eczema is thought to be genetically linked and is therefore hereditary. People with Atopic eczema are believed to be sensitive to allergies in the environment which are harmless to others. Other types of eczema can be the result of coming into contact with chemicals, detergents, metals, metal and leather wrist watch bands. What to do about Eczema? Decrease Stress: As stress can exacerbate eczema, learn how to recognize and cope with stress. Practice stress reduction techniques. Changing your activities to reduce daily stress can be helpful. Determine which foods make your condition worse and eliminate them from your diet: This happens quite rarely but sometimes a food allergy can aggravate your eczema. Milk, eggs, cheese, dairy products, shellfish, chocolate, peanuts, soy, potatoes, and the glutens found in wheat, oats, rye and barley are common allergenic foods. Wear cotton clothes: Wool and some synthetic fabrics can irritate your skin. Most people with sensitive skin feel better in clothes made of cotton. Wear cotton pyjamas and sleep between cotton sheets. Care for your skin in and after shower. Shower rather than bathe. Use GaiaPharm Body Cleanser and thereafter apply GaiaPharm Hydrator to affected areas for maximum effect. Try not to scratch when it itches: Scratching can break the skin, which leaves it prone to infection. Manage the itch: Repeated use of GaiaPharm Soothing Hydrator Moisturizers, Anti-histamines, GaiaPharm Soothing Cleansers as well as prescription creams that can help. If it itches badly, wear gloves on your hands at night so you do not scratch yourself raw. You may also use a light drug which must be recommended by a qualified doctor. Avoid getting too sweaty, hot and contacting skin with chemicals: Avoid activities that make you hot and sweaty: too much sweat and heat irritates the skin and makes it itchy. Try to avoid contacting skin with chemicals, eg. harsh detergents and swimming in chlorinated water. FAQ GaiaPharm Skin Soothing Body Cleanser & Skin Soothing Hydrator 1.
