What is Eczema?

Eczema is a skin condition brought on by a hypersensitive reaction to things like pollen, colds, dry skin, and stress. Eczema causes swelling and redness of the skin, and can be devastating to the individual suffering from this illness. Eczema is a problem for lots of people-its estimated that this disease affects 35 million Americans ranging from childhood to adulthood. My sister and father suffer from eczema and watching them deal with this uncomfortable disease is frustrating. Eczema can often cause individuals to suffer socially for fear of being picked at my others. Eczema can appear as a dry, scaly red rash and can often make the sufferer embarrassed.

As we enter the winter months here are a few tips to control your eczema:  

 

• Avoid scratching the rash or skin
• Avoid anything that makes your symptoms worse like: foods such as eggs
• Avoid strong soaps, as well as sudden body temperature changes and stress. 

 

To sooth eczema irritation be sure to bath with gentle body wash and remember to not scrub the skin to hard as this could cause further irritation to the already sensitive skin.
