Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition characterised by inflamed, itchy, and irritated skin. It often appears as red, dry, and scaly patches that can be both uncomfortable and aesthetically challenging. While the exact cause of eczema is unknown, it is believed to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
In individuals with eczema, the skin's barrier function is compromised, leading to increased sensitivity and vulnerability to triggers. Common triggers include allergens (such as dust mites, pet dander, or certain foods), irritants (like harsh soaps or detergents), extreme temperatures, stress, hormonal changes, and certain fabrics.
The immune system also plays a role in eczema, as it reacts excessively to these triggers, leading to inflammation and an overproduction of inflammatory molecules in the skin. This inflammatory response further contributes to itching, redness, and discomfort.
