Eczema triggers
Affecting up to one in nine of the population, eczema is one of the commonest skin complaints across the UK. Although many sufferers are born with the condition, in others, onset occurs later in life. Eczema has no one single cause and individual cases tend to be unique, yet much has been discovered about a variety of trigger factors that can cause eczema to flare up. Food allergies, exposure to certain chemicals and even extreme weather conditions can all be involved, whilst some sufferers can react to copper or nickel, especially in jewellery. Further triggers include dust from animals and skin contact with some solvents, cleaning agents and soaps.
Eczema creams
Good relief from pain and irritation is afforded by topical creams, such as A-Derma Skin Care Cream, Avene Trixéra+ Selectiose Emollient cream, and A-Derma Exomega Emollient Cream. Systemic treatments may be appropriate in more severe cases.
