What is Eczema?
Eczema, sometimes referred to as dermatitis, is an inflammatory skin condition that can cause dry, itchy, red and scaly skin. It can affect people of all ages but it is very common in children. The pathogenesis of this condition can be complex and is often involving multiple systems. Some main factors to consider includes exposure to allergens/irritants, stress, intestinal permeability, nutritional deficiencies, microbiome dysbiosis, high blood sugar, hormone fluctuations, poor digestion and dysregulated IgE immunity. Exposure to food intolerances and poor gut health are common contributing factors for the development of this skin condition.
