Skin Allergies
Skin infections typically affect the areas where there is the densest population of sebaceous glands.
What are Skin Allergies?
When a skin injury occurs, fibrous scar tissue is torn over the wound. This helps in wound repair by providing protection for the injury. In some cases, the scar tissue grows excessively and results in the formation of a smooth and hard growth. These growths are called keloids, which can be larger than the original wound. Keloids are commonly found on the chest, shoulders, earlobes, and cheeks, but they can affect any part of the body. Though not harmful to the patient's health, it creates cosmetic and aesthetic concerns.
Types of Skin Allergies
There are different types of Skin Allergies. Some of them are mentioned below:
- Eczema in children
- Pregnancy-related skin diseases
- Skin diseases in old age (geriatric group)
- Hair Dye Allergy
Various forms of eczema in children are
- Seborrheic dermatitis (cradle cap in infants)
- Atopic dermatitis
- Contact dermatitis
- Nummular eczema
- Pityriasis alba
Kids who get eczema often have family members with hay fever, asthma, or other allergies.
Treatment of eczema in children includes avoidance of triggering factors (stuffed animal toys, woollen blankets, dry skin, irritants, heat and sweating, infection, pet dander, pollen, or dust), topical ointments, moisturisers, antihistamines, oral medications, and a few home remedies.
Your child’s eczema may be worse in the winter when the air is dry. Saliva from drooling can also cause irritation on your baby’s cheeks, chin, and neck.
Eczema looks and acts differently in infants and toddlers than it does in older children. The location and appearance of eczema change as children grow, so it is important to know what to look for at every stage of your infant's or toddler’s life. Eczema in children can mimic other skin diseases like psoriasis, fungus infections, or even a simple sunlight allergy. So it is important to consult a qualified dermatologist to get the correct treatment.
