Dyshidrotic Eczema
Causes of the disease
The cause of dyshidrotic eczema is weakened skin barrier function. This weakening can occur due to congenital atopy, allergies, or acquired hypersensitivity to certain irritants. A weakened skin barrier cannot fully resist the surrounding environment and reacts with inflammation. This form of eczema typically affects the palms, fingers, and interdigital areas of the hands, as well as the soles and interdigital areas of the feet. Underneath the skin, one can palpate eruptions of small pimples or vesicles. These subsequently form thickened or cracking crusts or wet patches on the skin. If the cause of the skin irritation is not eliminated, the problem recurs over time after the inflamed areas heal.
Dermaguard in Treatment
- Dermaguard helps weakened skin maintain its protective function
- it forms an invisible microfilm on the skin, which prevents allergens from penetrating the skin and causing irritation
- It strengthens the skin, moisturizes, and provides recovery time after corticosteroid treatment
- it provided protection for 4-6 hours and does not need to be reapplied after washing
When to Use Dermaguard
Dermaguard cream is used to effectively prevent the recurrence of dyshidrotic eczema. However, do not use the cream if the skin is in an acute condition, i.e. severely irritated, with cracking or wet skin. Treat the skin first, as directed by your dermatologist. Apply Dermaguard cream when the skin is soothed, free of cracks and wet patches. Applying the cream 1–2 times per day helps prevent the skin from becoming acutely irritated again.
