Symptoms and Treatment Methods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eczema, also known as dermatitis in medicine, is a common group of skin diseases characterized by skin redness, dryness, itching, flaking and sometimes leaking wounds.<sup><\/sup>Eczema is not a single disease; it is the general name for similar-looking skin conditions that occur for different reasons.<sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Genetic predisposition, environmental factors, immune system responses and weakness in the skin barrier are among the main causes of eczema.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eczema is a chronic disease, but it can be controlled with correct diagnosis, appropriate treatment and regular skin care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many subtypes of eczema; the most common are atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis and seborrheic dermatitis.<sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br>&nbsp;<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Atopic Dermatitis (Atopic Eczema)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Atopic dermatitis is the most common type of eczema.<sup><\/sup>It usually begins in infancy, but can continue into childhood and adulthood.<sup><\/sup>It is associated with genetic predisposition and can be seen together with atopy, commonly known as \"allergic body\".<sup><\/sup>Atopic dermatitis manifests itself with recurring, itchy, and dry skin lesions, usually on the inside of the elbows, behind the knees, neck, and face.<sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> <strong>Treatment:<\/strong>The most important step is to strengthen the skin barrier. Fragrance-free, rich moisturizers should be applied daily, especially within the first 5 minutes after showering.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take a short shower with lukewarm water, and instead of soap, choose pH-balanced cleansers that are specific for atopic skin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cotton clothes should be used and wool and synthetic fabrics should be avoided.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>During flare-ups, treatment with cortisone creams or calcineurin inhibitors (tacrolimus, pimecrolimus) can be applied.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If an infection develops, antibiotic or antiseptic treatment may be necessary under the supervision of a dermatologist. In resistant cases, phototherapy (light therapy) or systemic medications may be used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<br>&nbsp;<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Contact Dermatitis (Contact Eczema)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contact dermatitis develops as a result of an irritant or allergic reaction to a substance that the skin comes into contact with.<sup><\/sup>It manifests itself as redness, blisters, itching and water-filled lesions on the skin.<sup><\/sup>There are two main types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> <strong>a) \u0130rritan Kontakt Dermatit<\/strong>It develops as a result of contact with irritating substances such as soap, detergent, cleaning products, disinfectants, and cosmetics. It is most commonly seen on the hands. <strong>Treatment:<\/strong>It is essential to avoid contact with the irritant substance and to use moisturizing creams and, when necessary, cortisone creams to repair the skin barrier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> <strong>b) Allergic Contact Dermatitis<\/strong>The skin develops an allergic response to the substance it comes into contact with through the immune system. Patch testing for diagnosis (<em>patch test<\/em>) can be applied. <strong>Treatment:<\/strong>The allergen must be completely avoided. Topical or systemic cortisone treatment is added if necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<br>&nbsp;<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Seborrheic Dermatitis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seborrheic dermatitis is characterized by oily flaking, redness, and dandruff, especially on the scalp, eyebrows, nose, behind the ears, and chest area.<sup><\/sup>Cold weather, stress and hormonal changes can trigger the disease.<sup><\/sup>The mild form is known as \u201cdandruff\u201d<sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> <strong>Formation:<\/strong>Overactivity of the sebaceous glands, <em>Malassezia<\/em> The increase in fungus and immune system imbalance play a role.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> <strong>Treatment:<\/strong>Antifungal shampoos and creams, as well as short-term corticosteroid or immunomodulatory topical products, are used. In severe cases, oral medications may be used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<br>&nbsp;<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Types of Eczema<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> <strong>Nummular eczema:<\/strong>It presents with round, coin-shaped, red and scaly lesions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> <strong>Dyshidrotic eczema:<\/strong>It is characterized by small, itchy, water-filled blisters on the fingers and toes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> <strong>Dermatitis stasis:<\/strong>It develops as a result of vascular insufficiency in the legs and is accompanied by brown discoloration, edema and wounds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> <strong>Asteatotic eczema:<\/strong>It is characterized by extreme skin dryness and itching seen in the elderly and during the winter months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<br>&nbsp;<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Suggestions for Success in Eczema Treatment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gently cleanse and moisturize the skin every day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid taking a hot shower, prefer lukewarm water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid perfumed and alcoholic products.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid irritating the skin when itching occurs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consider sun, stress, and allergens as triggers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the medications recommended by your dermatologist regularly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eczema treatment should be tailored to each patient's specific cause and type. With accurate diagnosis, appropriate medical treatment, and regular skin care, eczema can be controlled. A personalized care plan developed by your dermatologist can strengthen your skin barrier, reduce itching, and improve your quality of life.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Egzama (Dermatit) Nedir?
