This video will help you to learn how to treat eczema. We will start by explaining what eczema is, afterwards we will dive into the best skincare practices and lastly we will discuss the most common eczema treatments.
Eczema, also called dermatitis, is a group of diseases which can cause inflammation of your skin. This is due to a disrupted skin barrier, which leads to the loss of moisture, a dry skin and decrease protection from the outside world.
There are many types of eczema, but the most common one is atopic eczema. This type of eczema is characterized by itchiness, red skin and a rash. It might affect a small area of your skin up to your entire body. Eczema usually starts in your childhood and may prevail through out your entire life. Some adults however grow out of eczema, but not all do.
It is estimated that about 245 million people where dealing with eczema in 2015, which is 3% of the entire population.
The exact cause of eczema is unknown, but it is thought to be a combination of allergies and problems with the blood vessels inside your skin. The strongest contributing factor therefore are your genetics, however there are other factors which might play a role: climate factors, stress, skin bacteria, usage of soap, sweating and wearing wool clothing.
Skin care tips:
– It is important to moisturize your skin twice a day: in the morning and the evening. Do this by applying a thin layer of an oily ointment or cream twice a day. This might also decrease itching.
– Make sure you never scratch. In stead of scratching try pressing on the skin instead. You could also apply bandages which helps to protect the skin and prevent scratching.
– Take a warm bath with baking soda or uncooked oatmeal. Soak 10-15 minutes, than pat yourself dry and apply moisturizer if your skin is still damp.
– Use mild soap without dyes or perfume and make sure to rinse of the soap completely.
– Use a humidifier to prevent hot and dry indoor air.
– Try to decrease stress and anxiety. You could do this by meditating or purposely doing something fun when you are feeling stressed.
Medical treatment of eczema:
– Drugs to control the itching and repair your skin (corticoid creams/ointment, prednisone and tacrolimus)
– Antihistamines, which also reduce the itching.
– Drugs to fight an infection (topical or oral antibiotics).
– Light-therapy.
