What Exactly Is Eczema? And How Do You Treat It?

Eczema is such a huge epidemic in our country today.  It is affecting so many people of all ages from infants to the young at heart.  Pediatricians are so quick to “prescribe”.  Do we REALLY know what they are “prescribing”?  What if I told you that the very thing you are using to fight your eczema is the very thing that is making it worse?  Ask yourself this, is it getting any better?  Can I really notice a difference in my skin?  Why does it go away and come back?  Do you really want to live with eczema and itch forever?  What if you knew of a solution?

The word “eczema” also has a more general meaning. Eczema can mean a family of skin conditions that causes the skin to become swollen, irritated, and itchy.

Many skin conditions are considered a type of eczema.  Atopic dermatitis is one type. Other types include hand dermatitis, nummular dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis. Dandruff is a mild type of seborrheic dermatitis. Diaper rash and the rash that many people get after coming into contact with poison ivy are other types of eczema.

What Causes Eczema?

What causes some types of eczema is clear-cut. One type of eczema, irritant contact dermatitis, develops after frequent exposure to a mild irritant such as a detergent or brief exposure to a strong irritant such as battery acid. Another type, allergic contact dermatitis develops when an allergen (substance to which a person is allergic) touches the skin. Common allergens include poison ivy and nickel. A nickel allergy is actually one of the most common causes of allergic contact dermatitis. Many everyday objects contain nickel, including coins, buttons, jewelry, and eyeglass frames.

You do not have to suffer any longer.  There is help.  You can live eczema free.  I have a personal story and have helped so many other people like you.  Most people will never get rid of eczema due to the things they use on a daily basis, but you can make the switch today to a safer way and see your eczema disappear.
