Why is eczema so difficult to cure?

Eczema is a disease caused by bacterial infection. Even after treatment, it will recur. This is mainly caused by our lack of good hygiene knowledge. Improper diet is also a cause of eczema. In order to cure eczema and prevent it from happening again, we should understand its causes and then choose corresponding measures based on the causes.

1. Understanding what causes eczema will help prevent it

1. Genetic factors:

Eczema is a skin disease related to the following factors. Generally, patients with eczema have a genetic history or allergy history. If both parents suffer from eczema, the probability of their offspring suffering from eczema is very high.

2. Dietary factors:

We eat food every day, and eating too much of some foods can also induce eczema. People with sensitive skin should eat less spicy and irritating foods, and avoid foods that may cause allergies.

This factor may also induce eczema. Many of the foods we eat daily contain certain chemically synthesized substances, such as saccharin, spices, vinegar, etc. These types of food additives may induce eczema.

3. Environmental factors:

There are many factors in our living environment that can trigger eczema. For example, dark, humid air, excessive ultraviolet rays, pollen, dust, etc. may trigger symptoms of eczema.

4. Other factors: The occurrence of eczema is also related to endocrine factors, emotional factors, etc. In addition, the occurrence of this disease is also related to functional disorders of the human gastrointestinal tract, mental tension, insomnia, excessive fatigue and other factors.

2. Why is eczema so difficult to treat?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the main pathogenesis of eczema is heart fire and spleen dampness. It can be caused by irritability, endogenous heart fire leading to blood heat, or by improper diet or excessive eating of fishy foods that stimulate wind, damaging the spleen and stomach, causing the spleen to lose its healthy function, and dampness to be generated from the inside. Dampness and heat combine because of the spleen, and the two evils fight each other and overflow into the skin. Because "dampness" is heavy, turbid and sticky, the disease recurs and is lingering.

There are many causes of eczema, and they are very complex. Many eczema patients have already cured their eczema, but due to lack of attention in daily life or failure to persist in treatment, eczema recurs again. But... Experts believe that the causes of eczema are complex. Including internal factors and external factors. The so-called internal factors refer to the allergic constitution of the patient himself. This plays a leading role in the onset of eczema. Instability of the internal environment such as chronic digestive system diseases, mental stress, insomnia, excessive fatigue, mood changes, etc. Mental changes, infectious lesions, metabolic disorders and endocrine dysfunction can all induce or aggravate the symptoms of eczema.

There are many external factors as well. Including diet, inhaled substances, climate, contact with allergens and other factors. Among them, seafood, spicy food, alcohol, inhalation of pollen, dust mites, cold weather, contact with chemicals, soaps, detergents, etc. are the most common causes of eczema. Due to such complex reasons, eczema recurs due to the interweaving of numerous causes and inducing factors.

No matter which part of the body is affected by eczema, the severe itching will cause great pain to the patient and even affect his or her normal work and life. The occurrence and development of eczema are related to various factors. Due to individual differences, differences may occur between different individuals or within the same individual at different times. In addition to dietary factors, inhaled substances such as pollen, dust, mites, bacteria and fungal infections on the body surface, changes in living environment and various substances that are contacted may become common external causes of eczema and dermatitis. Lesions in the body, such as tonsillitis, cholecystitis, neuropsychiatric factors, changes in endocrine and metabolic conditions, such as menstruation and pregnancy, may all be the main internal causes of eczema.
