Do you feel that your skin has been acting up lately? Or feeling a bit swollen on the face but don’t seem to know the reason why? While there are many different possibilities and answers, one of the causes may be eczema! As the start of winter calls for drier, sensitive skin, eczema may be approaching a lot sooner than you thought.

What Causes Eczema?

Skin conditions are triggered by mostly external factors, and eczema is no exception. Some of the external causes may include:

dry weather under cold temperatures
certain makeup products and ingredients that do not rest well on the skin
fabric or clothing material that may brush against the face
pollutants, foods
internalized stress and hormone levels

Just by the list alone, eczema is no simple skin condition; rather, to control the skin, the external factors must be controlled first.

What are the signs I have eczema flareups?

Eczema on the face can cause dryness (also in the form of dry patches), itchiness, redness, sensitivity in certain areas of the skin. The skin’s barrier becomes broken and is reacts more sensitively to any factors that touch the skin. If your eczema was caused by an allergen, allergic reactions such as facial swelling may also be accompanied with other tale-telling signs.

How can I treat eczema?

At-Home Treatment

If you are wanting to find a solution at home, the chances are, you may already have them in hand. Since eczema causes extreme dryness of the skin, rubbing a mild potency cream or steroid ointment can definitely reduce the severity of the problem.

At-Clinic Treatment

If you are visiting a clinic such as LAMINE, make sure to first notify us about your skin condition so Dr. Kim can recommend the treatments with a background knowledge of your skin! Based on the severity of the skin, Dr. Kim will provide a perfect solution.

For the most part, in order to calm down the inflamed and irritated skin, we recommend the Healing Care Basic Program for a gentle care of the skin. Based on the severity of the condition, Dr. Kim may include skin boosters into the program in order to boost the skin barrier and reduce lasting inflammation.
