Many people suffer from chronic skin diseases such as psoriasis, neurodermatitis or eczema. These diseases can be triggered by external factors such as stress, but often have genetic causes. Despite different symptoms, there are similarities between the diseases.
How do psoriasis, neurodermatitis and eczema manifest themselves?
psoriasis
Psoriasis typically manifests itself as red, scaly patches on the skin. The arms, legs, back or scalp are often affected. The course of the disease is wave-like - phases of improvement alternate with flare-ups. Genetic factors play a role in around a third of those affected. In psoriasis, the body's own cell renewal is impaired, causing the skin to regenerate too quickly. This causes the small scales typical of psoriasis to form. New flare-ups can be triggered by stress, infections or injuries.
Neurodermatitis
Neurodermatitis causes very itchy, red and swollen areas of skin, which often appear in body folds such as elbows, knees or the neck. The itching is often very distressing. Neurodermatitis has various forms that differ in their severity and the affected area of skin. Triggers can be dry air, warm-cold temperature changes or foreign substances such as soaps. Psychological stress can also promote neurodermatitis.
Eczema
Eczema manifests itself in the form of water-clear blisters and pustules that later crust over. The hands, feet, elbows or buttocks are most commonly affected. Eczema can be triggered by contact with allergens such as nickel, latex or perfume. Sometimes eczema phases occur without any identifiable trigger. Allergies or genetic factors increase the risk.
What all three skin diseases have in common is that the skin's barrier function is impaired. Minor irritations or injuries to the skin's surface encourage the penetration of allergens or microbes. Disturbances of the protective acid mantle of the top layer of skin can also encourage psoriasis, neurodermatitis and eczema. Stress hormones or changes in the immune system also play a role.
How to deal with chronic skin diseases?
The treatment of chronic skin diseases requires gentle care to soothe the skin and support its self-healing powers. Medication can alleviate the symptoms, but some sufferers resort to natural alternatives. That is why our gentle natural care line is based on valuable natural ingredients.
