What causes dry eczema

  Dry eczema is a specific type of eczema, commonly found on the lower legs, mostly in the dry autumn and winter seasons, due to dry skin and decreased water content in the stratum corneum, stimulating the skin to form cracked porcelain-like, fine wrinkles or fissures in the skin lesion performance. It is mostly associated with excessive washing and slower blood supply to the lower extremities.  The main causes of dry eczema are: too many baths, use of strong alkaline soap, facial cleanser or bathing water temperature is too high. Some other triggers are detergents, wool, skin infections, dry skin, low humidity, high temperatures, sweating or irritants such as emotional stress. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, mold or food. Environmental factors make the skin dry, which in turn affects the barrier function of the skin and can also lead to mutations in genes related to skin barrier function, resulting in immune system dysfunction and producing an inflammatory skin response that triggers eczema.  You should wear cotton or cotton blends instead of wool or synthetic fibers to make your skin breathe and absorb sweat easily; avoid using enzyme detergents and fabric softeners when washing clothes to reduce the stimulation of your skin. Special attention needs to be paid to moisturizing, washing with less body wash and more moisturizers.
