What Do You Know About Chronic Eczema?
Eczema is a group of skin conditions, sometimes also called dermatitis. It is characterized by dry, itchy skin, which can become raw and bleeding when it is severe. The name eczema comes from the Greek word ekzein, which means to boil over, probably because of the hot, angry surface of eczematous skin.
If you think back over the way your skin has behaved during the last few months you will probably remember periods when your skin was fairly stable times when it flared up and got worse. The flare ups are period of acute eczema. These often happen in response to an external stimulus, such as a change in lifestyle, a source of stress or sorrow, catching a bug, feeling tired, or coming into contact with something to which you are allergic. Acute eczema can appear and vanish within a few days.
Chronic eczema is the bit left over when the acute eczema has subsided, the background skin condition that doesn’t change. The level of chronic eczema varies from person to person. Your skin might clear except for a few patches that are always there, or you might always have eczema all over, with the difference between acute and chronic just a matter of severity. Either way, you will have the same pattern of ongoing chronic eczema with occasional blips of acute eczema.
Acute eczema can be dealt with using emollients and steroids, and it always respond to the right treatment. Chronic eczema is much more difficult to shift. This program deals with how to get rid of the chronic eczema altogether. Your background skin condition will get better and better, until there is no chronic eczema at all. At the same time the blips of acute eczema will get less and less severe, and will be easier and easier to control.
You almost enjoy scratching and think Hah, take that! As you’re doing it. It’s as if you’re taking revenge on your skin. You’re not attractive anyway so it doesn’t matter.
