Cutting Edge Personalized Medicine for Asthma & Allergies

Eczema

Eczema is the collective term for a group of skin conditions that can cause rough patches of skin that look leathery or scaly and can be dry, itchy, and red. Eczema is not contagious, but the exact cause of eczema is unknown. Researchers have found that your genetics can make you more likely to develop eczema, and you may be at a higher risk if you also have asthma or allergies.

Different Types of Eczema

There are several different types of eczema. The most common type is atopic dermatitis. Atopic dermatitis is an immunologic response to an irritant or allergen. The rash can develop at any age, it may come and go, and you may not know what triggers your flare-ups.  Other types of eczema include:

  • Contact dermatitis
  • Dyshidrotic eczema
  • Nummular eczema
  • Seborrheic dermatitis
  • Stasis dermatitis

What Triggers Eczema?

Eczema develops when an irritant triggers your immune system. Some common triggers include:

  • Soaps
  • Laundry detergents
  • Cleaning solvents
  • Food such as chocolate, nuts, and soy
  • Medications
  • Stress
  • Wool and synthetic fabrics
