Bath Time Eczema Relief

Posted by Ayelet Meshulam on

Many of us suffer from Eczema that causes irritation and inflammation of the skin let’s try to have a better understanding of what it is.

Eczema is widely believed to be an immune system disorder. It causes persistent inflammation of the skin.

Often called, "the itch that rashes," it can begin itching before the rash emerges.
The most common form of eczema is called atopic dermatitis. It is thought to be related to allergies such as hay fever and asthma.

Eczema is a genetic condition and tends to run in families with allergies. It is not contagious.

The number of eczemas (atopic dermatitis) sufferers is growing.
People of all ages can develop this skin condition.
Today, most incidences are seen with infants.

While many will grow out of baby eczema by the age of 2, others will go on to battle the skin condition on and off for their lifetimes.

Another common form of eczema is contact dermatitis. This is sometimes confused with atopic dermatitis. Although, this form of eczema flares when the skin makes contact with a substance that triggers inflammation.

Logical Bathing - Those who suffer from this skin disorder need to pay special attention to what is in their skincare and bath products.

Harsh detergents found in cleansers, shampoos, and even bubble baths can induce inflammations. In addition, products containing artificial fragrances and colors are often considered a common cause of eczema.
