Eczema's impact extends far beyond physical symptoms, significantly affecting the mental health of both adults and children. It's crucial to address this aspect of the condition alongside managing the skin itself. Here's a detailed look at the mental effects of eczema and how to take care of your mental well-being: 🧠

Mental Effects:
Anxiety and Depression: 😰 The constant itch, sleep disruption, and potential for social stigma can lead to increased anxiety and depression.

Self-esteem Issues: 💔 The visible nature of eczema, particularly during flare-ups, can negatively impact self-esteem and body image, especially for children and adolescents who are more susceptible to peer pressure.

Social Isolation: 🚶‍♂️ The discomfort and potential embarrassment associated with eczema can lead to social withdrawal and isolation, affecting relationships and quality of life.

Stress and Frustration: 😩 Managing flares, finding effective treatments, and coping with the daily challenges of eczema can be stressful and frustrating, further impacting mental well-being.

Taking Care of Mental Health:

Practice Relaxation Techniques: 🧘‍♀️ Mindfulness meditation, deep breathing exercises, and yoga can help manage stress and anxiety, promoting better sleep and overall well-being.

Seek Professional Help: 🩺 If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns, don't hesitate to seek professional help from a therapist or counselor.

Focus on Self-Care: 💆‍♂️ Prioritize activities that bring you joy and relaxation, such as hobbies, spending time in nature, or listening to calming music.

Remember, you're not alone in this. Eczema is a common condition, and there are resources and support available to help you manage both the physical and mental aspects. Don't hesitate to reach out for help and prioritize your mental well-being alongside your skin health. 🌟

🌀 INFANTS: Located on cheeks, scalp, neck, and outside of elbows (extensor surfaces).
🌀 OLDER CHILDREN: More common on hands, feet, anterior elbows (flexural region), behind knees.

There are seven different types of eczema:

Atopic Dermatitis: 🌿 Common form causing inflammation, dryness, and itchy skin. Often in small children but can occur at any age.

Contact Dermatitis: 🌍 Also called allergic contact dermatitis, triggered by environmental factors. Got a rash from touching something? This might be the culprit.

Dyshidrotic Eczema: 🤲 This type dries out the skin, causing a burning sensation, rashes, and blisters. Affects hands and feet.

Neurodermatitis: 🤔 Also known as discoid eczema, it affects small patches of skin, making them itchy and scaly. Itchy, scaly patches that just won't quit? This could be it.

Nummular Eczema: 💰 Also called nummular dermatitis, it creates small, rounded lesions all over the body, especially on arms and legs. Round, coin-shaped lesions? Usually on arms and legs.

Seborrheic Dermatitis: 💆‍♂️ An inflammatory form affecting the scalp. Dandruff that just won't budge? This is eczema of the scalp.

Stasis Dermatitis: 🦵 Presents as skin discoloration on the legs, similar to varicose veins. Discoloration on your legs? Linked to poor circulation as in varicose veins.

Remember, you can have more than one type of eczema at once! Each form has its own triggers and treatment requirements. Consult a healthcare professional specializing in eczema for a proper diagnosis and personalized treatment plan. 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

15/07/2025

Atopic dermatitis, commonly known as eczema, presents with a variety of symptoms that can vary in severity and location depending on the individual. Here are some of the most common symptoms:

Skin:

🤒 Itching: This is often the most prominent symptom, and can be quite intense, leading to scratching and worsening of the condition.

🏜️ Dryness: Eczema sufferers often have dry, cracked skin, which can be exacerbated by cold weather, low humidity, and certain irritants.

🌡️ Rash: The rash associated with eczema can vary in appearance depending on skin tone and age. In lighter skin tones, it typically appears red, while in darker skin tones it may be brown, purple, or gray. The rash can be bumpy, scaly, or weeping.

🔥 Inflammation: The affected areas of skin may be swollen and inflamed, appearing puffy and red.

🧴 Thickening of the skin: Chronic scratching can cause the skin to thicken and harden, a condition known as lichenification.

Other potential symptoms:

😴 Trouble sleeping: The intense itching associated with eczema can disrupt sleep, leading to fatigue and irritability.

🦠 Increased risk of infection: Eczema can weaken the skin barrier, making individuals more susceptible to skin infections.

😰 Anxiety and depression: The chronic nature of eczema and the impact it can have on appearance and self-esteem can contribute to emotional distress.

It's important to note that:

⏰ Symptoms can flare up and improve over time, and individuals may experience periods of
remission.
📊 The severity of symptoms can vary greatly from person to person.
🚫 Not everyone with eczema will experience all of these symptoms.
If you suspect you or someone you know may have atopic dermatitis, it's crucial to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.

Eczema, one of the most common skin conditions we see.

✅ The exact cause of eczema is unclear, but genetics play a large role.

✅ Eczema can be well controlled. For the majority, it can be well controlled with good skin care using barrier creams 🧴 and the right medications, along with lifestyle changes.

For flares, topical steroids can be added for a short period. For severe cases, other modalities including oral medications, immunomodulating oral medications, Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) for dust mites, and certain injections can be used if required.
