Eczema

What is Eczema?

Eczema is basically a generic term for skin dermatitis that is either allergic or irritant in nature.  It causes a dry, rash-like irritation that can eventually even lead to painful sores and blisters.

Clinically, it can look like inflamed red skin, dark-colored patches, scaly, rough, or leathery skin, or oozing crusting skin. There are different types of eczema, but the most common type is atopic dermatitis or 'classic' eczema that usually presents with pink, itchy, dry, or inflamed skin.

What causes Eczema?

While the cause of eczema is not entirely known, leading skin specialists believe a genetic predisposition of breakage in the skin barrier followed by exposure to allergens or irritants, In other words, credited to a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune triggers. Normally, the skin would shield against allergens and bacteria, but with eczema, that protective barrier dries out, leaving you open to irritants in the environment. Even exposure to everyday items—including detergent, fragrance, chemical-based cosmetics, clothing dye, dust, pet dander, and more—could trigger eczema symptoms.

Sven's Island remedy for 'Eczema'

When selecting skin-care products to treat Eczema, choose moisturisers that have a high oil content over water content, since this will draw more water into the skin and reduce water loss. Ointments usually have the highest oil content over lotions and creams, so they don't generally burn when they're applied to sensitive skin and are very good at sealing in moisture. Our Miracle Manuka skin repair ointment has been scientifically developed to relieve and treat eczema-related conditions.
