1. Causes of eczema

First of all, eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that causes symptoms such as itching, redness, and flaking.

 

1) Weakened immunity

One cause of eczema is a weakened immune system. When immunity is weakened due to stress, lack of sleep, or other factors, the skin barrier function weakens, potentially triggering eczema symptoms.

 

2) Environmental factors

Additionally, sudden temperature changes and dry air during seasonal changes can also affect the development of eczema, and pollen and fine dust can also irritate the skin and cause eczema.

 

3) Genetic factors

In addition to this, it is said that eczema can occur due to a combination of various causes, including genetic factors.

1) Acute eczema

In cases of contact dermatitis, it's important to clearly identify the aggravating factor, and the use of steroid lotions and creams can be helpful. Additionally, if a secondary infection develops in the eczema area, topical antibiotics can be used for treatment.

 

2) Chronic eczema

If eczema does not get better for a long time, the cause must be identified and treatment can be carried out using steroid ointment, etc.

4. Eczema prevention

It is important to make efforts to prevent eczema in daily life, as it can cause great discomfort in daily life if red spots appear on the skin and itchiness becomes severe.

 

1) Keep your skin clean
