Most eczema appears as red, swollen patches of skin, usually on your face or neck, but sometimes on other sensitive skin areas like inner arms or behind your knees. Eczema rashes can also be dry and scaly, and, if untreated, these types of rashes can crack.
All eczema breakouts are itchy, that's a clear indicator that your rash is eczema. Atopic dermatitis is a type of eczema that is genetic, and can be found in infants and children. Some children outgrow eczema of this form, but it can persist into adulthood. Other types of eczema appear only in adulthood and are caused by allergies or skincare product irritants.
There is no cure for eczema, but there are several lotions and creams that use ingredients that soothe and repair skin affected by eczema. The best eczema creams and lotions use ingredients are naturally derived and that are safe to use on infants and children as well. Read on to learn more about the ingredients used for eczema flareups and what might work best for you and your family.
Even though eczema looks like a rash, and some rashes can be contagious, eczema breakouts are not contagious at all. In fact, most people with eczema have the skin condition from childhood because it can be genetic.
There are other types of eczema that can happen later in adulthood due to allergies or sensitive skin. If you're allergic to pet dander, pollen, mold, or certain fabrics, eczema may be a reaction from that allergy. If you have sensitive skin and use a new skincare product, that can cause an eczema breakout too.
No matter which type of eczema you have though, you can't pass it on to another person. However, an eczema breakout can get infected if you don't treat it because the breakout can cause cracks in the skin where bacteria can enter. Try eczema creams and lotions that have hydrating oils as well as bacteria-fighting ingredients, like tea tree oil, to make sure your eczema flareup stays clean and moisturized.
Usually eczema is a lifelong condition that creates occasional flareups due to negative immune reactions, so you can't truly get rid of it. Fortunately, nowadays there are ways to help control your eczema flareups.
Here are a few products that help control eczema:
The items above provide moisture and fight against bacteria which make them great for battling eczema breakouts. Test each product separately to see what works best for your skin or try a lotion or cream that uses several of those ingredients like this All Terrain Eczema Relief Cream. You may have to test out several different products to see what works best for your specific eczema and skin.
