Eczema is formed from a group of non-contagious skin conditions and affects over 15 million people in the United States alone. About 10 to 20% of the world?s population is affected by the most common form of eczema called a ?topic dermatitis.? Eczema is generally caused by an inflammatory response to substances that cause irritation to the skin. This is due to an abnormal response of the body?s immune system causing some substances that come into contact with the skin like soaps, clothing, jewelry, cosmetics, lotions, and/or sweat to cause irritation. Other factors that cause eczema outbreaks include changes in temperature or humidity, psychological stress,and certain food allergens.
What foods can one eat to help alleviate symptoms of eczema? Fish, soybeans, walnuts, flax oil, and canola oil are all great foods for reducing the appearance eczema outbreaks. In one study, those who consumed fish at a young age were 24% less likely to develop eczema in childhood. With that fact in mind, this may be the single most important food to reducing the symptoms and development of eczema.
In addition to the foods mentioned, there are also supplements one can take that also help with eczema breakouts. Gamma ? linolenic acid has been shown to decrease inflammation of the skin and is used in treating dermatitis in countries outside of the United States. Probiotics have a variety of good bacteria that not only help digestion and promote a healthy immune system, but have shown promise for reducing and even preventing eczema in children. Fish oils are proven to reduce inflammatory skin disorder symptoms as well and can be a great addition to one?s diet.
Supplements can be purchased at one?s local supplements store or online. Remember to buy supplements that are free of common allergies such as dairy, wheat, eggs, nuts, seafood, and artificial additives, preservatives, and food colorings.
Although there is no known cure for eczema, one can significantly decrease inflammation and irritation of the skin by just eating certain foods. In addition to changing one?s diet, there are also hundreds of ointments and creams that are also shown to have positive benefits for treating eczema. Drugs and medications are another option that should be avoided at all costs, because of the potential side effects that may follow.
If problems with eczema continue regardless of what you put on your skin or how you changes diet, consult with a dermatologist to discuss what else can be done. When the proper steps are taken, eczema can be significantly reduced and even avoided.
