Eczema is a term for a group of inflammatory skin conditions that can cause dry, red, itchy, and sometimes scaly skin. One common type is atopic dermatitis. Symptoms can recur, and their severity varies from person to person.
Eczema can be influenced by genetics, impaired skin barrier function, the immune system, and environmental factors. Triggers may include certain soaps, fragrances, sweat, extreme temperatures, or irritating materials. Each person’s triggers can be different.
What should you do?
Use a gentle cleanser suited to your skin and avoid long baths in hot water. Use an antiseptic soap to help the healing of eczema on the skin. Minosep Body Wash contains Chlorhexidine Gluconate, which can help clean away the bacteria that cause eczema and help keep it from spreading.
