Causes Of Eczema

It is generally accepted that the tendency to atopy is inherited. People with eczema dermatitis has a broad range of abnormal immunological findings are probably related to more than one genetic defect. For example, a tendency of these individuals have elevated IgE antibodies (immunoglobulin E) levels and have difficulty fighting certain viral, bacterial and fungal infections.

Like most non-infectious diseases, diseases of the atopic skin may be triggered by environmental factors.

One of the features of atopic dermatitis is excessive dryness of the skin, which appears to be due to the lack of protein in the skin of some. Anything that promotes drought can exacerbate atopic dermatitis.

Common triggers of atopic dermatitis are:

Harsh soaps and detergents

Solvents

Low humidity

Creams

Coarse woolen garments

Sweating

Occlusive rubber or plastic gloves

Friction

Staphylococcus Bacteria

Repeated wetting and drying of the skin (the manipulation of food)
