Nummular Eczema
Causes of the disease
Nummular eczema is caused by a combination of a weakened skin barrier (due to inflammation, infection, or atopy) and an overgrowth of microbial flora on the compromised skin. Distinctive circular or oval patches of reddened skin are formed, with a tendency to secondary infection.
Dermaguard in Treatment
- Dermaguard effectively moisturises dry and peeling patches for up to 6 hours
- it reduces bacterial growth in the treated area
- it forms an invisible microfilm on the skin, preventing further skin irritation
When to Use Dermaguard
Use Dermaguard in the early stages of eczema when the affected patches are dry and not cracking. Swollen and infected areas should be treated by a specialist.
