Eczema Q&A
What is eczema?
Eczema is an umbrella term referring to several inflammatory skin conditions:
- Atopic dermatitis
- Contact dermatitis
- Dyshidrotic eczema
- Neurodermatitis
- Nummular eczema
- Seborrheic dermatitis
Eczema usually begins in childhood, often in a baby’s first six months. The condition improves in some; for others, it becomes an ongoing condition that flares up throughout adulthood.
Most medical professionals believe eczema begins because of genetic changes that weaken your skin barrier. Without a healthy barrier, your skin is highly susceptible to inflammation and rashes caused by irritating substances.
What are the symptoms of eczema?
Eczema’s hallmark symptom is intense itching. Along with itching, you have skin symptoms, including:
- Red, inflamed skin
- Raw, sensitive skin
- Small, red bumps (rash)
- Scaly, dry skin
- Blisters that ooze and crust over
- Thickened, discolored skin
The intense itching makes you scratch, leading to more skin damage and inflammation. If you don’t get treatment, this becomes an ongoing cycle of skin problems.
What triggers an eczema flare-up?
Eczema usually flares up in response to a trigger and then goes into remission for a time before flaring up again. A few of the most common triggers include:
- Stress
- Fatigue
- Allergies
- Certain foods
- Soap
- Hot water
- Skin care products
- Antibacterial ointments
Dry skin frequently causes a flare-up, so you must diligently moisturize your skin.
How is eczema treated?
The medical treatment for eczema includes skin care and medications. Skin care is essential for protecting the skin barrier, while medications can reduce allergies (if they’re a trigger), prevent inflammation, and reduce flare-ups.
When medical care doesn’t improve your symptoms, you want to avoid the long-term use of strong medications like corticosteroids, or you want more effective eczema relief, it’s time to consider treatment with the innovative Plason device.
Plason treats eczema using cold plasma to activate cells in your skin, causing reactions that improve eczema. Cold plasma treats eczema by:
- Boosting collagen production (strengthening your skin)
- Stimulating skin regeneration
- Improving skin hydration
- Alleviating skin inflammation
- Accelerating healing
- Preventing infections (by destroying bacteria)
- Reducing itching
Cold plasma treatments are noninvasive, pain-free, and safe for people of all ages. Another benefit is that it only takes 5-10 minutes to get a full Plason Cleanse treatment.
