Eczema

Skin rituals

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a common skin condition that causes dry, itchy, inflamed patches on the skin. It can affect individuals of all ages and may appear anywhere on the body, most commonly on the hands, face, neck, and behind the knees. While eczema can be uncomfortable and sometimes distressing, there are effective treatments available to manage and alleviate symptoms. At Skin Rituals Aesthetic Clinic, we offer tailored eczema treatments to help you achieve healthier, more comfortable skin.

What Causes Eczema?

 

Eczema is a chronic inflammatory condition that is often linked to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It can be triggered by allergens, irritants, stress, and certain weather conditions. People with eczema tend to have an overactive immune response, which leads to inflammation and disruption of the skin barrier.

Treatment Options for Eczema:

 

1) Topical Steroids:

These are commonly prescribed to reduce inflammation and relieve itching. Mild to moderate corticosteroids are applied directly to the affected areas.

2) Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors:

These non-steroidal creams help to reduce inflammation and control flare-ups without the long-term side effects of steroids.

3) Moisturizers and Emollients:

Keeping the skin hydrated is essential in managing eczema. We recommend fragrance-free, hypoallergenic moisturizers to restore the skin’s natural barrier and prevent dryness.

4) Antihistamines:

Oral antihistamines can be used to reduce itching and allergic reactions, helping to prevent further irritation.

5) Phototherapy (Light Therapy):

For more severe cases, narrowband UVB light therapy can be used to calm inflammation and reduce itching. This treatment is often recommended when other topical treatments are not effective.

6) Oral Medications:

In some cases, oral medications like immunosuppressants or corticosteroids may be prescribed to control severe eczema flare-ups.

7) Lifestyle and Dietary Adjustments:

At Skin Rituals, we also provide guidance on lifestyle and dietary changes to minimize triggers that may worsen eczema. This may include avoiding harsh soaps, allergens, and irritants, as well as managing stress.
