Causes of eczema and symptoms by body part

Have you ever had eczema?

I usually use a lot of water, not only when doing household chores but also because I frequently wash my hands and diligently apply hand cream.

I can really feel the dryness of my hands.

However, I don't know since when, but I felt a tingling or prickling sensation at the tips of my fingers.

Even after applying hand cream, that feeling doesn't go away.

Is this the beginning of eczema by any chance?

I looked into eczema because I was curious about it.

 

 

Causes of eczema

 

✅External stimulus

Contact with irritating chemicals, allergens, dust, or mites can act as causes of eczema. In particular, housewives who frequently use their hands are often exposed to detergents or water, making them more susceptible to developing hand eczema.

 

✅Internal factors

Stress, weakened immunity, and genetic factors can also cause eczema. These internal factors weaken the skin's defenses, leading to the development or worsening of eczema.

 

✅Environmental factors

Environmental factors such as air pollution or dry weather can also be triggers for eczema. Especially during seasonal changes, the skin becomes dry, making eczema more likely to occur or existing symptoms worsen.

 

 

Eczema symptoms by body part

 

✅Hand eczema

Hand eczema is a common problem among housewives, often accompanied by symptoms such as dryness, cracking, and itching. In severe cases, repeated episodes of hand eczema can lead to thickened skin due to irritation and inflammation, resulting in calluses forming between the palms and fingers.

 

✅Foot eczema

Foot eczema is a type of eczema that occurs on the soles of the feet, accompanied by severe itching and cracking. Groin eczema causes intense itching or discomfort, so appropriate treatment is necessary.

 

✅Inguinal eczema

The groin area is prone to sweating and friction, which easily causes rashes and inflammation. Groin eczema can cause severe itching or discomfort, so proper treatment is necessary.

 

 

 

After reading about the symptoms above, I wonder if they might be early signs of eczema.

Moisturizing care and, if severe, using steroid ointments, and wearing gloves before applying water are necessary precautions.

I haven't just been using steroids; even though I'm doing well with other things, I should try harder to apply moisturizing products diligently.

Even if you develop a rash or eczema, proper treatment and management can help alleviate the symptoms.

I also need to take good care of my hands so that it doesn't get worse.
