How To Cure The 7 Types Of Eczema With Ayurvedic Remedies?

Do you often notice an itchy skin rash? Are you suffering from dandruff? Is your skin breaking out every time you use a new skincare product? You might be facing a chronic skin condition called eczema.

Dry, itchy skin with sudden flare-ups are common in eczema. It is caused by a combined response to a mutated gene and external trigger factors. Referred to as ‘Vicharchika’ in Ayurveda, eczema is best treated with natural Ayurvedic treatments that are devoid of harmful side effects.

Read on to know all about the 7 types of eczema, its causes and the best available treatments for a long lasting cure.

What Is Eczema?

Eczema [1] is a chronic, non-infectious skin condition characterised by inflamed patches of dry, itchy skin. A clear fluid discharge from these swollen patches may be noticed in more severe conditions.

Eczema damages the epidermal barrier leading to excessive transepidermal water loss. This loss of essential moisture from the skin’s surface causes the skin to crack. As there is a break in the epidermal layer, people with this condition often face fungal and bacterial skin infections.

Mostly common in children and adolescents, eczema can affect various parts of the body depending on the trigger factors.

Dr. Zeel Gandhi, Chief Ayurvedic Doctor at Vedix shares, “Ayurveda cures skin troubles intrepidly. The cavalcade of effective ayurvedic treatments including panchakarma therapies work to cure chronic and complicated skin troubles from its root cause.”

What Does Eczema Look Like?

Eczema can be easily diagnosed through visual identification from the following symptoms:

1. Reddish or dark brown patches of dry, cracked skin.

2. Scaly, hardened, severely itchy plaques on skin.

3. Blisters that easily rupture and leak fluid.

4. Possibility of scarring or hyperpigmentation after recovery.

What Causes Eczema?

Eczema for most people is not a constant skin condition. People suffering from eczema experience sudden flare-ups or inflammations, which can be triggered by certain internal or external causes.

A. Internal Factors That Can Cause Eczema

1. Weakened epidermal layer due to the lack of filaggrin (protein used to make the uppermost corneal layer of skin) owing to a genetic skin disorder.

2. Hyper-active immune system.

3. Hormonal imbalance, especially lower levels of estrogen, before the onset of the menstrual cycle, first stage of pregnancy or during menopause.

B. External Factors That Can Cause Eczema

1. Minerals and metals in hard water.

2. Harsh surfactants in skin cleansing products, detergents, laundry liquids.

3. Fragrances, colours and other chemicals in cosmetics and skincare products.

4. Formaldehyde, a skin irritant commonly present in disinfectants.

5. Tobacco smoke.

6. Fabrics [2] that cause more friction, such as wool, synthetic, polyester.

7. Certain topical medicines.

8. Dry weather, which can lead to skin dryness.

According to Ayurveda, Vicharchika (eczema) results from the vitiation of the tridoshas and the Rakta (blood tissue) and Rasa (plasma) dhatus. An imbalance in pitta dosha causes inflammation, a vitiated vata dosha causes dryness and itchiness and an aggravated kapha dosha results in the imbalance of fat and fluids in the skin.

What Are The Types Of Eczema?

Eczema is an umbrella term which includes 7 types of skin conditions that lead to itchy, dry, cracked skin with occasional inflammation and redness.

1. Atopic Dermatitis

The most common type of eczema is atopic dermatitis, which affects children and adults alike. Being a chronic condition, one may continue to have this condition for years. Exposure to external irritants can suddenly trigger an immune response causing inflammation, redness and extremely itchy, dry skin.

Causes Of Atopic Dermatitis

• Mutated gene, which causes low production of filaggrin leading to epidermal layer impairment. This allows infections and irritants to easily penetrate the skin barrier.
• Skin irritants that can trigger atopic dermatitis are formaldehyde, chemicals in skincare products, pollen and certain fabrics.

Parts Of The Body Affected By Atopic Dermatitis

Eczema on the face (especially for children) is usually caused by atopic dermatitis. Other parts include folds of the arms and legs, back and neck.

2. Contact Dermatitis

Contact dermatitis occurs when skin cells are damaged through direct contact with skin irritants. It is less likely to be a chronic disorder if treated on time or if exposure to the irritant is discontinued. Symptoms include itchy, dry, damaged skin that is prone to inflammation and redness.

Causes Of Contact Dermatitis

Direct contact with skin irritants such as chemicals, harsh surfactants in soaps and shampoos, cleansing agents, paints, metals, jewellery etc.

Parts Of The Body Affected By Contact Dermatitis

Can affect any part of the body that is exposed to the irritant.

3. Seborrheic Dermatitis

This is a chronic skin condition that causes dry patches of itchy, red skin and scaly white or yellow flakes. It is especially seen in areas that have more number of sebaceous glands. Seborrheic dermatitis on the scalp is also referred to as dandruff.

Causes Of Seborrheic Dermatitis

• An immune response triggered by the proliferation of Malassezia yeast on your skin, leading to inflammation and dry, flaky skin.
• Certain types of medication such as lithium.
• Hormonal imbalances
• Weather changes
• Exposure to certain cleansing products

Parts Of The Body Affected By Seborrheic Dermatitis

Body parts that are usually affected by seborrheic dermatitis are the scalp, eyebrows, eyelids, T-zone of the face and chest.

4. Stasis Dermatitis

This occurs when deoxygenated blood from your legs is unable to reach the heart owing to the failure of valves in the veins of your legs. This leads to gathering of fluid in the lower half of your legs. This condition is known as venous insufficiency and is the main cause for stasis dermatitis.

Brown spotted skin is one of the early symptoms which occur when capillaries rupture under excess pressure. Other symptoms include, swelling around the ankles, itchy, dry and hardened skin. Elderly people above the age of 50 or people with certain medical conditions are likely to develop this type of eczema.

Causes Of Stasis Dermatitis

• Venous insufficiency
• High blood pressure
• Hypertension in the veins leading to the formation of varices.
• Medical conditions such as kidney failure.

Parts Of The Body Affected By Stasis Dermatitis

This eczema usually affects the lower legs.

5. Neurodermatitis

Areas affected by neurodermatitis tend to be extremely itchy. The constant urge to scratch, at times subconsciously, further irritates the affected skin and triggers nerve endings in that area. Neurodermatitis causes raised, dry, leathery patches of skin that are confined to a small area.

Causes Of Neurodermatitis

• Insect bite
• Nerve damage
• Contact dermatitis / Atopic dermatitis
• Friction from certain fabrics

Parts Of The Body Affected By Neurodermatitis

Neurodermatitis is a type of eczema that is not widespread. Parts that are often affected are the wrist, groin area, forearm and back of the neck.

6. Dyshidrotic Eczema

Dyshidrotic eczema causes the development of tiny, bubble-like, reddened blisters that are extremely itchy. Since this usually affects the skin on your hand and fingers, it is generally referred to as hand eczema or finger eczema. Though the exact cause is unknown, researchers have found that a genetic trend may influence this skin condition. Hand eczema is chronic in nature, resulting in sudden flare-ups when exposed to a trigger factor.

Causes Of Dyshidrotic Eczema

• Over-exposure to water
• Metals such as nickel
• Allergic reactions
• Weather changes

Parts Of The Body Affected By Dyshidrotic Eczema

Hand eczema or finger eczema usually affects parts of the hand, fingers and the feet.

7. Nummular Eczema

Nummular eczema causes oval or circular, itchy patches of skin that tend to bleed fluid. It is rarely chronic and can be completely recovered from.

Causes Of Nummular Eczema

• External injury/ damage to the skin.
• Triggered by preexisting forms of eczema.
• Exposure to skin irritants.

Parts Of The Body Affected By Nummular Eczema

Commonly affected parts include arms and legs. May affect other parts of the body as well.

What Are The Symptoms Of Eczema?

1. Impaired skin barrier leading to extreme dryness.

2. Itchy, erythematous lesions.

3. Red, brown or grayish scaly patches on the skin.

4. Peeling or flaking of the skin.

5. Sudden inflammations or flare ups.

6. Blisters that may bleed or weep fluid.

7. Skin prone to infections.

8. The plaques may harden eventually and lead to the formation of eczema scars.

What Parts Of The Body Does Eczema Affect?

Eczema can affect any part of the body. Children often experience eczema on their faces and hands. Adults with eczema may notice the symptoms in other parts of the body such as the back, chest, legs, arms, neck, groin area, folds of the arms and knees and scalp.

Specific types of eczema such as hand eczema or finger eczema as the name suggests, is often limited to the hands, fingers and legs. Dandruff caused by seborrheic dermatitis is mostly experienced on the scalp. Stasis dermatitis affects the lower legs and contact dermatitis occurs only in parts that are exposed to the skin irritants.

How Can Eczema Be Treated?

A. Natural Methods To Cure Eczema

1. Aloe Vera Gel

This is one of the simplest and most effective natural treatments of eczema. Directly extracted gel from the aloe vera plant can be applied to the affected areas for immediate relief.

How To Prevent Eczema?

People with eczema are likely to experience sudden flare-ups. To avoid the occurrence of eczema, the following preventive measures can be taken:

1. Keep your skin hydrated at all times to prevent eczema induced dryness and itch. Moisturize with natural moisturizers such as aloe vera, coconut oil, tea tree oil, honey and ghee for better results.

2. For hand eczema, avoid excessive water-based activities. Keep your hands clean and dry at all times.

3. Protect your skin from extremities of weather. Eczema on the face and around the mouth are often triggered by sudden changes in weather.

4. Avoid skin irritants that have previously triggered the condition.

5. Stay away from sugary or high fat foods or foods that can cause an allergic reaction.

6. Protect your skin from direct exposure to the sun. Use natural sunscreens such as aloe vera and coconut oil when you step out. Wear protective clothing that covers your face, arms and other areas where you are most likely to experience an eczema flare-up.

7. Keep your skin clean to prevent chances of infection.

8. Avoid harsh detergents or skincare products that can irritate your skin. Switch to a herbal skincare routine.

9. Wear soft fabrics such as cotton or silk. Avoid fabrics such as wool or polyester that can irritate eczema-affected areas.

10. Practice yoga and exercise regularly to keep your stress levels in control. Yoga and exercise also improve blood circulation and prevent accumulation of fluids as in the case of stasis dermatitis.

How Long Does Eczema Last?

Most children with chronic eczema may face sudden flare-ups even in their adulthood. Depending on the type of eczema one has and the treatment prescribed, it can last for around 2 to 3 weeks. But if caused by certain medical conditions, eczema can last longer till the primary cause subsides.

What Is The Difference Between Eczema & Psoriasis?

Due to similarities in appearance, eczema may be confused with another skin disorder, psoriasis. The under-mentioned differences in appearance and symptoms can help you distinguish one from the other.

1. Eczema is extremely itchy, while psoriasis usually has a burning sensation [6].

2. By appearance, the patchy skin caused by psoriasis is often thicker compared to eczema.

3. Inflammation tends to be more in psoriasis.

4. Eczema is common amongst babies and adults. However, psoriasis rarely shows up in children and can manifest itself after the age of 15.

5. Unlike psoriasis, eczema commonly occurs in the folds of your body.

6. Psoriasis is mainly caused by a dysfunctional immune system. Exact causes of eczema are still under research. Experts believe both genetics and external trigger factors have a role to play.

The Last Word

To cure eczema permanently, the underlying causes must be diagnosed. Chronic conditions of eczema can be kept under control by avoiding the skin irritants responsible for it. After determining the doshas and dhatus vitiated by eczema, a proper Ayurvedic skin care, diet and herbal eczema treatment can be prescribed to heal the condition holistically.
