Triggers and Irritants

The Itch-scratch Cycle
Eczema causes skin to itch which triggers the tendency to scratch. This vicious itch-scratch cycle further damages the skin as it causes breakages, exposing the skin to infections.
Protecting the skin's natural barrier is essential
People who suffer from eczema usually have reduced levels of Ceramide, which are essential in supporting the skin barrier and retaining moisture. Low ceramide weakens skin barrier, allowing moisture to escape from the skin, leading to dry skin conditions5.
