Eczema

What is it?

Eczema, or dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition characterized by dryness, itching, and inflammation. It disrupts the skin barrier, making it more susceptible to irritants and infections. Symptoms include dry, flaky skin, redness, intense itching, and, in severe cases, crusting or oozing. While not contagious, eczema can significantly impact quality of life, causing discomfort and stress.

Causes

  • Allergies (e.g., dust mites, pollen)
  • Dry or cold air
  • Stress
  • Fragranced skincare products or soaps
  • Certain foods

Tips

  • Hydrate Regularly: Use a deeply moisturizing product like the Cica Lotion with Centella Acid to soothe dryness and irritation while strengthening the skin barrier.
  • Avoid Irritants: Opt for fragrance-free, gentle cleansers and avoid soaps and harsh chemicals.
  • Use Lukewarm Water: Shower with lukewarm water to prevent skin dehydration and irritation.
  • Wear Breathable Fabrics: Choose soft clothing and avoid wool or synthetic materials that aggravate symptoms.
  • Identify Triggers: Keep a journal to pinpoint and avoid triggers such as stress or specific foods.
  • Protect the Skin: Use gloves in cold weather
