To this day doctors do not know what exactly causes these types of eczema. Although one major factor may be due to a mal functioning immune system. Other major factors which are now being considered is the use of bathing products and woollen as well as synthetic clothing, excessive sweating has also being taken into account. Temperature and environmental allergens could also be causing outbreaks of eczema.
Atopic dermatitis or eczema is very commonly seen. The person will show signs of inflamed areas as well as these areas being itchy and is said to be caused by a malfunction of the body's immune system. This type of eczema has cycles where it will disappear and then reappear and will also depend on what factors are causing this. It seems to be family related especially when member of the family suffer from asthma or even hay fever.
Another types of eczema whereby pain and burning is experienced along side with deep blisters is Dyshidrotic dermatitis which only occur on the hands and the palms of the hands as well as on the under parts of the feet and down the sides of the fingers and toes. This type falls under another name which is vesicular palmoplantar dermatitis and again doctors do not know what causes the onset.
Outbreaks of these types of eczema are common during the months of spring and summer as especially in very hot tropical climates and researchers are suggesting that this may be the primary cause of this type of eczema.
Nummular eczema which only really found in much older men and is found on the back, torso, arms and legs is diagnosed by crusted coin shaped areas and the person will complain of excess irritation and itchiness.
Usually there is a family history of atopic dermatitis as well as asthma and associated allergies which will ultimately increase the risks of developing nummular eczema and is seen as a chronic condition. And doctors have found nummular to be a very puzzling disease.
There is no associated known cause for nummular dermatitis but it is said that abrasive substances could worsen the eczema such as soaps, washing detergents and topical creams and things like dry skin conditions, or places that have low humidity as well as acne type medications could be causing the onset of this type of eczema and maybe environmental factors. Should you wish to learn more about these types of eczema go online as there are many articles readily available on the subject?
