Eczema, alternatively known as dermatitis, is a chronic and inflammatory skin condition. It often causes itchy, cracked, inflamed, or rough skin, and it can be very uncomfortable. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common form of eczema, while dyshidrotic eczema (pompholyx), stasis dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and neurodermatitis are other less common forms of the disorder. There are other forms of eczema as well, and your medical Provider will be able to diagnose and treat your skin condition. What Causes Eczema? Inflammation from common allergens, Pollen, dander from pets, dust, wheat-based foods and more have been known to trigger or worsen eczema in certain individuals. A qualified naturopath can help you analyze your lifestyle and diet to find potential sources of discomfort. Interestingly, gut health has been linked to eczema This is a common vein of exploration for functional medicine doctors in Singapore. In a 2016 study, scientists linked underdeveloped gut flora with a higher risk of atopic skin issues, and the evidence suggests that probiotics (and a resulting healthy gut) help the body produce healthy immune responses, thereby limiting the risk of eczema in patients. Other factors, like stress, fungal infections, and other things, can exacerbate eczema.

An elimination diet may be recommended, in which one common allergen is removed at a time.
