If you suffer from dry, flaky, inflamed patches on your skin that are uncontrollably itchy, you are not alone. You are most likely with a chronic skin disorder known as eczema.

Many people who live with eczema would describe the incredible itchiness as one of the worst symptoms of this increasingly common skin disorder. Now imagine that unbearable itchiness in your child, especially one that is too young to help soothe itself. 

But parents, do not fret. Thankfully, there are some tips and tricks from doctors that can help relieve the itchiness and dryness that eczema can cause.

Although the cause of eczema is not fully understood, doctors believe that both genetics and environmental factors play a role in causing the emergence of eczema. People living with eczema tend to be oversensitive towards topical irritants or allergens that can cause the inflammation. 

Understanding the trigger factors

Eczema affects everyone differently. One person’s triggers may not be the same as another’s, so it is important to be aware of the common triggers so you can change your habits and routine.

Common trigger factors include:

Dry skin: When your skin gets too dry, it becomes brittle, scaly and tight, which may lead to an eczema flare up.

Irritants: Coming in contact with irritants such as everyday household products, cosmetics or even natural substances can cause your skin to itch and burn. Common irritants include, sweat, saliva, fragrances, shampoo, body wash, laundry detergent, hand and dish soap. Some natural liquids and food, such as lemon juice, vinegar or fermented foods, can also irritate the skin when you come in contact with them.

Environmental allergens: Things in your surroundings might also be a reason for a flare up, this can include cigarette smoke, dust mites, pet dander, pollen, insect bites, and bee stings.

Materials: Materials such as latex, coarse wool or lace can irritate the skin and trigger an outbreak. 

Stress: Stress, anxiety or depression can be a cause for eczema flare ups due to the increased cortisol levels, which leads to inflammation, causing eczema symptoms. 

Climate: Yes, even the weather can aggravate your eczema, be it cold and dry or hot and sweaty. 

Eczema remedies

There are plenty of clinically proven treatments containing natural active ingredients that are gentle on the skin of babies and children that can help soothe the dry and itchy skin caused by eczema. 

Ezerra is a brand recommended by paediatric dermatologists and paediatricians to help relieve eczema symptoms.
