How to identify certain types of eczema

Atopic dermatitis

Otherwise known by the term "eczema", atopic dermatitis is a chronic and persistent skin disease. Symptoms are usually dry, very itchy and skin allergies and may require daily care. Atopic dermatitis occurs before the age of five, and in most patients, about 50% will continue to develop symptoms after the rest of the adulthood.

This eczema is not contagious, which means you can't get it from someone else or pass it on to another person. Atopic dermatitis is usually a hereditary disease - other people in your family may also have this disease.

Contact dermatitis

Repeated exposure to a substance can be the development of a secular substance such as soap, detergent, solvent, oil or certain foods, contact dermatitis or eczema, because this substance causes damage faster than skin self-healing.

More than three thousand known irritants or allergens can cause this type of eczema. The rash caused by contact with poisonous ivy is an eczema or contact dermatitis.

A rash that causes contact dermatitis when exposed to ultraviolet light or sweat.

Dyshidrotic Dermatitis hand and / or foot eczema

This type of eczema occurs only on the sides of the palms and fingers of the hands and on one or both sides of the soles of the feet. Symptoms are a hot itching and a blistering rash. The blisters look a bit like frogs.

It is also sometimes called pompholyx, vesicular eczema or blisters.

This eczema usually occurs between the ages of 20 and 40. No one knows what caused it. It is not caused by sweating from the hands and feet that have been suspected of being too much.

It can disappear within 2-3 weeks without treatment, or some people will happen again.

Neurodermatitis

This is one of the most difficult to treat eczema because it is the best. It always appears in areas that are easily scratched - calves, ankles, neck, wrists, forearms and genitals. The more you catch, the worse, and can cause erythema and permanent scarring. Treatment does not involve scratching, but itching is worse than any other type of eczema, so you can see why it is difficult to treat.

It appears to be more common in women 30-50 years of age and in patients with contact dermatitis, psoriasis or other types of eczema. Not sure what caused it.

Nummular Dermatitis or Discoid Wzema

This type of eczema usually occurs after some kind of skin wear or burn or insect bites. This common eczema manifests as a coin-shaped or elliptical lesion. These patches may last for weeks or up to a year.

It originates from a red spot or blisters that grow together, leaving a patch that tells the shape of the coin. These patches can flow in a week and then become crust and scales. They can appear anywhere on the body, but usually on the legs and torso. It must be noted that no staphylococcal infection will occur.

Men are more frequently accepted after the age of 55, women between the ages of 15-25.
