Asteatotic Eczema |
Seasonality is prominent, and most people develop symptoms in the winter months, especially in areas where indoor humidity is decreased by heating. This explains why the frequency during the winter season is increased in the northern United States particularly. Those with this skin condition may notice symptomatic improvement in a warm, humid climate in and outdoors. Shaving, wool, or other sources of irritation can also cause a person’s dry skin to become inflamed. Doctors should also look for controllable risk factors such as frequency of bathing, the types of soaps and cleansers used in bathing, the types of skin lubricants used, diet and medications. Risks factors for dry skin should be minimized as they interrupt the components of the outer layers of the skin. The disruption in the skin barrier can lead to atopic dermatitis.
