What causes eczema in adults?

Everyone should know that eczema is the most common skin disease in children, but there is no specific age for the onset of eczema. Eczema can occur at any age. Although adults' skin is much tougher than children's, eczema may also occur in adults. Moreover, the treatment measures for eczema in adults are completely different from those for children, and everyone should also properly understand the causes of eczema in adults.

In life, we will see such a phenomenon: when a person is young, his skin is very good and there is no sign of anything bad, but as he grows older, especially after they become adults, some red papules will appear on their bodies, and some may have a few papulovesicles or blisters and erosion exudate. These phenomena are actually adult eczema.

The causes of eczema in adults are:

First: The main cause of eczema in adults is intolerance or allergy to ingested, inhaled or contacted substances. The symptoms of eczema include redness and rash at first, followed by roughness and scaling of the skin. Touching a child's skin feels like touching sandpaper. Heat and humidity can make eczema more obvious. Because eczema is accompanied by extreme itching, many patients will scratch the rash area with their hands, causing skin ulcers.

Second: In fact, adult eczema is an inflammation of the superficial dermis and epidermis caused by a variety of internal and external factors. The cause of the disease is complex. It is generally believed that it is related to allergic reaction. The causes and predisposing factors often vary depending on individual factors and different stages of the disease and are therefore difficult to determine. Inducements can be divided into external factors and internal factors.

External factors include food, inhalation, microorganisms, living environment and various chemical substances. Internal factors such as chronic infection lesions, endocrine and metabolic changes, blood circulation disorders, and neuropsychiatric factors may all cause eczema.

Third: In real life, due to food pollution, environmental pollution, and radiation pollution, our living space is full of pollution sources, which lead to unclean food, fatty and sweet food, dampness and phlegm, and the phlegm and dampness condense, forming "blood pollution", which modern medicine calls "blood poisoning." "Contaminated blood" will trigger the body's own immune system, prompting the body to increase its self-detoxification ability; when the skin's metabolic system cannot adapt to this reaction, the skin's immune system will overreact, causing eczema and urticaria on the body.

Now that we understand the reasons why adults get eczema, we should pay attention to the above causes and take measures to prevent eczema!
