😓 A hard day, stress at work or at home – and the skin reacts instantly: itching, rashes, redness appear… This is not an accident, but a natural reaction of the body.
📌 Eczema is a chronic skin disease that manifests itself in dryness, irritation, rashes and itching. And although it is not contagious, its exacerbation is often caused by stress.
🤔 Why does this happen?
When you are nervous, the body begins to produce more cortisol – the stress hormone. In high doses, it:
- Disturbs the barrier function of the skin, making it vulnerable to irritants.
Increases inflammation, provoking redness and itching. - Reduces the skin’s ability to heal, which is why eczema does not go away for a long time.
❗️And here a vicious circle appears: stress → exacerbation of eczema → even more stress
🙌🏻How to act?
- The first step is to understand that controlling eczema is possible. Yes, stress cannot be completely avoided, but you can learn to manage its impact on your skin.
- Choose the right care – what works for one person may not always work for another.
- Track your triggers – what exactly aggravates your condition? It can be not only stress, but also certain foods, cold or even laundry detergent.
- Do not ignore help – eczema requires a comprehensive approach, and this is where it is important to have an experienced doctor by your side.
