We all hate the feeling of having irritated skin. Sometimes it’s just a nuisance and a mild eyesore, something that messes up our natural beauty a bit, but otherwise it isn’t really something we have to dwell too much on. A bit of makeup can quickly cover up some dark patches on the face, after all.
But for many of us, skin irritation is something we can’t just ignore as a cosmetic matter. If you’re one of over 30 million Americans who suffer from eczema or a related dermatitis condition, dry and flaky skin can be not only incredibly irritating and disruptive to day-to-day well-being, but can also be a slippery slope leading to dozens of more serious conditions if left untreated. Dark rashes and peeling skin can quickly become so itchy that we scratch them until they peel and even bleed. And that’s not something to take lightly—you need your skin to be intact!
And the bad news for those suffering from eczema is that there isn’t always a simple medical solution. It’s a very complicated condition, for starters. We won’t bore you with the scientific details, but there are over a dozen different types of eczema, each having its own cause and trigger. Triggers that lead to patches of itchy and irritated skin for people with eczema can include contact with smoke, certain fabrics, plants, chemicals, and perhaps most ironically, certain skincare products, including those that are often recommended to treat cases of irritated skin!
Since dermatologists and other medical professionals can, in most cases, only take a guess at which type of eczema (or a related condition) might be causing your welts and scratches, prescribed medication doesn’t always do the trick. And even when it does, the strong pharmaceuticals prescribed for more serious cases like this are usually very strong, and always have side effects. The skin is a very delicate and important bodily tissue. It’s cells die and replicate millions of times per day in an incredibly complicated process that weaves together the immune system, circulatory system, nervous system, and more.
Mixing powerful chemicals with fragile working with the skin always has its drawbacks, and should be handled with care. And that’s not to mention that skincare medication is often crazy expensive and rarely covered by insurance!
