Understanding Eczema
Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a complex dermatological condition characterized by inflamed, pruritic (itchy), and erythematous (red) skin lesions. While it can occur at any age, it predominantly affects infants and young children, with many experiencing persistent symptoms into adulthood. Eczema is multifactorial, involving genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and immune system dysregulation.
Symptoms of Eczema
- Xerosis (dry, sensitive skin)
- Severe pruritus (itching)
- Erythematous and inflamed skin
- Lichenification (thick, leathery patches due to chronic scratching)
- Exudation (oozing) or crust formation
- Edema (swelling) in severe cases
Etiology of Eczema
- Genetic Factors: Mutations in the filaggrin gene, crucial for skin barrier function.
- Environmental Triggers: Irritants and allergens such as soaps, detergents, pollen, dust mites, and pet dander.
- Immunological Factors: An overactive immune response leading to inflammation and skin barrier disruption.
- Psychological Stress: Stress can exacerbate symptoms by influencing immune function.
- Climatic Conditions: Changes in temperature and humidity can trigger flare-ups.
