Eczema

Eczema is a chronic, superficial inflammation of the skin, which is associated with redness and severe itching.

Cause

The cause of eczema is unknown; however, genetics appear to play a role in the transmission of eczema from one generation to the next. Approximately 5% of the U.S. population is affected by eczema. It is often associated with a personal or family history of hay fever or asthma.

What can be done?

Treatment for eczema includes topical steroids and antihistamines to reduce inflammation and itching. A mild skin care routine using a soap-less cleanser such as Moore Unique Hydrate Wash and moisturizing lotions is helpful in reducing dry skin conditions. Avoid perfumed soaps, harsh laundry detergents and fabric softeners. Avoid long hot showers. Decrease bathing routines to every other day.

On occasions, more aggressive therapy is required which might include topical steroids and/or antiobiotics.
