Eczema comes in many types, each with its own symptoms and causes.
Even though some symptoms, like itching, irritation, and red patches, are consistent across the common types of eczema (atopic eczema, contact eczema, dyshidrotic eczema, seborrheic eczema), each condition requires different products and routines to manage and prevent flare ups.
So, the first step in treating eczema is identifying it!
Of genetic origin, skin is said to be atopic when it does not play its role as a natural barrier. Atopic skin also has more difficulty retaining water than normal skin.
People with atopic eczema or atopic dermatitis thus develop a strong sensitivity to all the allergens in the environment and experience red patches, itching, and scaling during flare ups.
If you're experiencing contact eczema, your skin is simply reacting to a specific allergen in your environment. As soon as your skin comes into contact with this allergen, you'll experience a hyper-localized reaction of red patches accompanied by small, fluid-filled blisters.
Seborrheic eczema, or seborrheic dermatitis, is characterized by red patches and whitish scales, most commonly found on the face, scalp, or other areas rich in sebum.
Dyshidrotic eczema, which affects the hands in 80% of cases, can cause burning and itching sensations and can be caused by a number of factors, including fungal infections, excessive sweating, atopic skin, or allergens in the environment.

Good skin hydration reduces the frequency and intensity of flare ups.
Even when the skin seems in good shape, it is important to continue to provide daily moisturizing and care.
This is particularly true in winter and when the weather is cold, as low temperatures hurt and dry the skin. It is also true in summer when the sun also affects the skin!
When used as companion care, sometimes in combination with treatments prescribed by a healthcare professional, efficient skin moisturizing reduces the intensity of the flare ups. During flare ups, moisturizer can soothe the skin, reduce pain, restore the skin barrier, soften the skin, restore elasticity, and limit the side effects of dermo-coticoids and other drugs common in eczema treatment.
