What is Eczema?

Eczema is a common skin disease characterized by inflammation, itching, and oozing vesicular lesions that become scaly, crushed or hardened. The condition usually occurs symmetrically on both sides of the body and is recurring.

Why do people get Eczema?

The specific cause of eczema is complicated, as it can develop due to both internal and external factors and can even be due to psychosomatic issues such as stress.

Internal factors: Heredity Predisposition for eczema Functional disorders of the secretion glands Digestive system disorders (stomach problems, intestine problems, constipation, diarrhea) Nervous system issues Metabolism problems Stress, exhaustion Varicose veins Excessive sweating Skin dryness

External factors: Chemical imbalance caused by prescription medication Cosmetics such as perfume and make-up Certain spices and condiments Detergents Animal toxins Certain foods such as eggs, seafood, and milk Airborne irritants such as pollen and dust Bacterial and viral infections Sun and wind exposure Cold temperatures Scratching

Eczema is an allergic or auto-immune reaction to any one or combination of the internal and external factors affecting the body. There are many different kinds of eczema, some with unknown causes.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that itchy skin is caused by wind evil. In TCM, itchiness can move across different places on the body, like the movement of the wind. Inflammation and oozing vesicular lesions are caused by wet evil. In TCM, a negative kind of wetness causes effusion from eczema lesions, so we call it wet evil. In this sense, the main causes of eczema are a combination of both wind and wet evil.
