Sensitive Skin: Eczema
Filed Under Anti-Aging
If you have been dealing with what you have assumed to be sensitive skin and have not discovered any products that seem to help- have you acknowledged that you may have eczema? A lot of people assume that they have sensitive skin, when in fact, they are afflicted with eczema.
To test if you could have eczema, you should discontinue the use of all skin products, except for Cetaphil cleanser and a fragrance-free moisturizer. If you simply had sensitive skin, restricting exposure to irritants and allergens would cure your skin in a jiffy. If after a few days or even a week, your skin is not improving- then it is time to see a dermatologist. While it’s impossible to diagnose eczema without seeing a doctor, because they are so many different types- it is safe to safe that sensitive skin is not the issue if you are taking great care to not expose yourself to allergens and you are still not healing.
The upside to having eczema, is that a doctor can prescribe medicine or ointments to clear you right up (or at least help quite a bit). And if you suffer from eczema, even a mild form, getting it treated will really improve your skin. Not to mention your self-confidence and self-esteem! Havind skin problems, can not only be damaging to your skin, but it can also wreck havoc on your sense of self worth and self esteem.
So if you have sensitive skin, please take strides to educate yourself to the other conditions that could be causing or adding to your problem.
