Question
Is eczema caused by the skin being too "wet"?
The name "eczema" has misled many parents, and as the name suggests, children will suffer from eczema due to excessive moisture. In fact, "eczema" has nothing to do with "wet". On the contrary, the biggest feature of "eczema" is "dry", and it is very "dry".
Children's eczema is an inflammatory skin disease with a clear tendency to exudate due to various internal and external factors. It is accompanied by obvious itchy rashes and is prone to recurrence, which seriously affects children's quality of life. Eczema is a common dermatology disease. The prevalence rate of the general population in my country is about 7.5%, and that of the United States is 10.7%.
Ask
Why do children get eczema?
is divided into internal and external factors.
Internal causes:
includes immune dysfunction (such as immune imbalance, immune deficiency, etc.) and systemic diseases (such as endocrine diseases, nutritional disorders, chronic infections, tumors, etc.) as well as hereditary or acquired skin barrier dysfunction.
External factors:
Allergens, stimulators, microorganisms, changes in ambient temperature or humidity, sun exposure, etc. can all cause or aggravate eczema. Psychological factors such as tension and anxiety can also induce or aggravate the disease.
Why is the dry autumn season the peak of eczema in children?
. The weather in autumn is dry, and the cold wind outdoors and indoor heating will cause the moisture on the surface of children's skin to flow too quickly, and children's skin will become more sensitive. 2. The temperature is lower in autumn. The higher the bath water temperature and the longer the bath time, the more likely it is to cause dry skin in children.
3. The temperature changes too quickly, and parents have not realized that applying moisturizing cream to children will cause excessive moisture to be lost in the skin.
