Eczema (Allergic Or Irritant Dermatitis)
Soothing alleviation for skin that is itchy and inflamed.The inflammatory skin condition known as dermatitis or eczema affects many people because it causes skin irritation, which leads to dryness, redness, and flakiness. People of any age group can develop this condition, which tends to appear on their palms and face and neck and elbows and knees’ backs. The two primary forms of eczema are allergic contact dermatitis and irritant contact dermatitis, although there are numerous other varieties.
Rasa Derm works to determine the root cause of eczema and offers individualised evidence-based treatments to help patients find lasting relief from their symptoms and decrease their flare-ups.
What Is The Difference Between Allergic And Irritant Dermatitis
Repetitive contact with substances that cause damage to the epidermis includes:
- Detergents and soaps.
- Sanitisers and disinfectants.
- Harsh substances or solvents.
- Prolonged exposure to water.
- Healthcare workers and those in the salon and cleaning industries experience the most common form of this condition due to frequent handwashing.
The immune system produces a reaction after exposure to particular allergens. Some of the most prevalent perpetrators are:
- Cosmetics contain preservatives and fragrances.
- Hair dyes (PPD) Nickel in jewellery, plants such as poison ivy, or specific essential fragrances.
- After direct contact, people may develop skin reactions that become chronic when a doctor fails to diagnose their condition.
- Dry, cracked, or scaly regions
- Swelling or redness
- A sensation of burning or tingling
- Severe burning
- Fluid-filled lumps or oozing (in the acute stage)
- In chronic cases, the epidermis may become thicker or darker.
- You remain unsure about the reason for your skin’s persistent inflammation.
- Over-the-counter medications along with moisturisers fail to deliver relief from your symptoms.
- Certain products or exposures exacerbate the condition.
- You continue to encounter flare-ups in the same region.
- Eczema disrupts your daily routine, sleep, or self-assurance.
The main goal at Rasa Derm is to rebuild your skin barrier while identifying your triggers to create soothing solutions for your skin. The complete treatment approach at Rasa Derm consists of the following steps:
1. Topical Corticosteroids
- Diminish inflammation and erythema that are currently active.
- Short periods of use help reduce flare-ups in the skin.
- Your treatment plan includes strength and formulation adjustments that match your skin type and the affected skin area.
- The formulations contain ceramides alongside niacinamide and hyaluronic acid.
- Restore the skin’s resilience and moisture.
- Long-term treatment approaches combined with steroid dependency reduction.
- Assist in alleviating irritation and enhancing sleep.
- These medications provide the best relief during both seasonal allergies and nighttime skin outbreaks.
4. Patch Testing
- Employed to identify specific allergens in allergic contact dermatitis.
- The process plays an essential role in both prevention and long-term management of the condition.
- At Rasa Derm, we conduct the testing procedure in our controlled clinical setting.
5. Lifestyle and Trigger Management
- Safety recommendations for skincare products, laundry practices, and protective mittens.
- The removal of daily irritants (e.g., using fragrance-free creams and mild soaps) becomes essential.
