| ECZEMA Eczema is a chronic skin disease reflected due to immunological changes within the body. Eczema is an inflammation of the skin which is characterized most importantly by itching, dryness, flakiness, and heat probably . Affected areas usually appear very dry, thickened, or scaly. There may be some amount of hyperpigmentation of the affected parts.The itchy rash can produce an oozing and crusting or it can be more scaly, dry, and red. Chronic scratching makes the skin thickened (lichenification) giving a leathery texture. Eczema can occur on just about any part of the body. However, in infants, eczema typically occurs on the forehead, cheeks, forearms, legs, scalp, and neck. CAUSES: There are two groups of eczemas called exogenous and endogenous. Exogenous eczema is mostly caused by contact with external factors such as irritant substances, certain allergens and due to photosensitivity. Few common causes for exogenous eczema::: Contact with irritants such as detergents, soaps, certain clothings or shoes, metal compounds (nickel, mercury, etc), dyes, cosmetic preparations (deodorants, nail paints, etc), topical creams, rubber, leather, resins, etc Exposure to sunlight. Napkin rash in infants Endogenous eczema is due to internal factors such as a generalized and prolonged hypersensitivity (atopy) to certain environmental factors. These factors could be chemicals, drugs, pollen, dust-mites, etc. These individuals also frequently exhibit one or more of other disorders such as asthma, hay fever, urticaria, food allergies, etc. Largely, the cause of endogenous eczema is genetic (inherited), family history of one or more disorders like asthma, hay fever, urticaria, food allergies, etc. A person who has endogenous eczema is more likely to develop allergic reactions to many other things as well.. Causes that are stress related factors which lowers immunity, are disappointments, grief, guilt, suppressed emotions, anxiety, frustrations etc. ROLE OF HOMOEOPATHY Eczema is a chronic skin disease reflected due to immunological changes within the body.
