Dermatitis and eczema
Research by: Acid Chemical Peel. Skin redness and dryness are the first manifestations of a dermatitis eczema. There are other symptoms to this condition, too, such as repeated rashes, tissue swelling, the appearance of crusts, cracking of the skin as well as blister formation and even bleeding. Although scars are pretty rare after the healing, skin discoloration does affect many people temporarily on the recovered skin portions. Actually, dermatitis eczema represents an acute phase of eczema.
One in five people is affected by dermatitis eczema at least once in a lifetime. This condition is caused by a number of different factors and occurs in various patterns. Eczema, dermatitis or eczematous dermatitis are terms that refer to the same health problem.
This condition can be chronic, acute or both. Chronic eczema or dermatitis is manifest on a longstanding irritable area and it is often darker than the rest of the skin; it is thickened and terribly itchy. Acute eczema is represented by a rapidly evolving red rash which can be both blistered and swollen.
If you suffer from an intermediary form between acute and chronic, doctors will diagnose you with sub-acute eczema.
A factor that can trigger or aggravate dermatitis eczema by, presumably, suppressing the normal immune mechanisms, seems to be psychological stress. There are several kinds of dermatitis eczema and they count irritant contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, dry skin, seborrhoeic dermatitis and dandruff, nummular dermatitis, otitis externa or gravitational dermatitis. In treating this condition it is very important to identify and tackle the causing factors. Therefore, depending on the causes and types of dermatitis under discussion in each case, the treatment varies.
Here are some treatment and prevention suggestions for successfully tackling with dermatitis eczema: proper bathing, wearing loose cotton clothes, permanent moisturizing of the skin, the application of topical steroids, the avoidance of irritant substances, the administration of antibiotics and antihistamines, as well as other treatments like azathioprine, systemic steroids, photo-therapy and more complicated ones for severe cases. It is useful for you to reduce the number of times you take baths, as showers are better; besides, try to replace standard soap with a substitute such as a mild detergent soap-free cleanser.
It is also good to wear soft cool clothes and to stay away from wool. Moreover, avoid contact of your skin with solvents, detergents, dust or water and try not to get injured. Moisturize skin after bathing and use only perfume-free products to alleviate the itching. Make sure you use topical steroid cream or ointment adequately. Antibiotics will be prescribed by doctors if an infection is aggravating the condition of the dermatitis eczema. Antihistamines are especially useful during the night to to alleviate the itching.
