Eczema: Triggers and Treatments for Sensitive Skin 1 month, 1 week ago Genetic Factors
Eczema often runs in families, indicating that genetic factors play a significant role in its development. Individuals with a family history of allergies or asthma are more likely to develop eczema themselves.
Causes:
Genetic predisposition
Family history of allergies or asthma
Solutions: Although you cannot change your genetics, understanding your predisposition helps you take preventive measures. Moisturizing the skin regularly and using products designed for sensitive skin can help reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups.
Environmental Triggers
Environmental factors such as weather changes, pollution, and allergens can trigger eczema flare-ups. Cold, dry air or hot, humid conditions can cause the skin to lose moisture and become irritated.
Causes:
Extreme weather conditions
Pollens, pet dander, or dust mites
Solutions: Keeping your home environment humidified and using hypoallergenic skincare products can help protect the skin. Wearing protective clothing in harsh weather and avoiding outdoor allergens can prevent flare-ups.
Along with the tips you mentioned, I wanted to recommend UVB phototherapy for managing eczema. It’s a non-invasive treatment that has helped me significantly with flare-ups. UVB light works by reducing inflammation and slowing down the overactive skin cell production that causes eczema.
