What Is Asteatotic Eczema?



Asteatotic eczema is a form of dermatitis that commonly occurs in the legs of the person but may also occur in the body and the arms. The shins are the main areas that this kind of skin condition may manifest but the other places may also be visited. Just like other types of eczema, asteatotic eczema has something to do with dry skin.

The many types of eczema may be triggered by a lot of things such as allergens and irritants but this kind is somehow connected to the individual's genetic make up. Although, the individual's parents may have another form of eczema, asteatotic eczema may manifest in their children. Asteatotic eczema is not restricted mainly to children. Many adults have this and many are not even aware that they have this skin condition especially when there are no severe break outs.

Symptoms Of Asteatotic Eczema

This skin condition typically manifests itself as dry, dull skin that may have a pattern of lines and cracks on it. These superficial crack and lines may also have fissures. In some more severe cases, the fissures may be oozing or bleeding as well as crusting. There may e a stinging pain along with some itchiness when cases of asteatotic eczema are more severe than others. The mild symptoms of asteatotic eczema can fool people into believing that they just have overly dry skin.

 



Treating Asteatotic Eczema

Treating this kind of eczema is very similar to the rest. In fact, there are not a lot of severe cases of this kind of eczema. The more severe cases of asteatotic eczema can be actually treated easily with emollients and sometimes topical steroids. Applying moisturizers in the shins and other affected parts of the body can help alleviate the condition of the skin as well as control the skin condition.

There are specific kinds of emollients that you need to use on the affected areas. These moisturizers need to be rich in urea and lactic acid. These can easily address the treatment needs of people with asteatotic eczema. Regular and frequent use of these products can prevent severe flare ups of the condition as well as moisturize the skin well enough to reduce the appearance of cracks and fissures.

If you have doubts regarding the specified emollients to be used for asteatotic eczema, you can use regular ointments and heavy creams. These can be effective for this kind of eczema. Ordinary lotions may have a difficult time maintaining the barrier needed to restrict the drying of skin.
