Eczema: Causes, Symptoms, and Effective Treatments
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Characterized by dry, itchy, inflamed skin, eczema can significantly impact quality of life, causing discomfort, sleep disturbances, and self-consciousness. While it is not contagious, eczema often requires ongoing care and management to control flare-ups and maintain healthy skin.
Causes of Eczema
Eczema develops due to a complex interplay of factors:
-
Genetic Predisposition: Individuals with a family history of eczema, allergies, or asthma are more susceptible.
-
Immune System Response: An overactive immune system triggers inflammation in the skin.
-
Environmental Triggers: Pollutants, harsh soaps, detergents, and extreme weather can aggravate symptoms.
-
Allergens: Dust, pollen, certain foods, and metals may trigger flare-ups.
-
Stress and Lifestyle Factors: Stress, lack of sleep, and poor skincare can worsen eczema symptoms.
Identifying and avoiding triggers is essential to prevent flare-ups and manage the condition effectively.

Symptoms vary depending on the type and severity of eczema, but common signs include:
-
Red, inflamed, or swollen skin
-
Intense itching, often worse at night
-
Dry, scaly, or rough patches
-
Blisters or oozing in severe cases
-
Thickened skin due to chronic scratching

Skin discoloration in affected areas
Symptoms may flare up periodically, often triggered by environmental changes or irritants, and then subside with proper care and treatment.
