Hi Zoe,

There are three main types of eczema: atopic, seborrhoeic and contact dermatitis.

Atopic Eczema

Atopy runs in families and is a sign of an overactive immune system. Associated with children, sufferers often have hay fever and asthma too. It is a dry, hot and itchy skin inflammation found mainly around the knees, wrists, neck and bends of the elbow as well as the face and eyelids. It begins usually in the first few months of life but for most will clear before puberty.

Seborrhoeic Eczema

Found mainly on the scalp, face, in the groin and armpits where grease glands are in greater number – it affects adults predominantly and can range from mild (flaky skin) to severe (itchy, oily, inflamed skin). It is caused by an overgrowth of a harmless yeast called Pityrosporum.

Contact Dermatitis

This is caused by contact with a substance that produces either an irritant or an allergic reaction. Common irritants, responsible for around 80% of cases, are soap, detergents and food. Allergic contact dermatitis is caused by a hypersensitivity to a substance and will appear wherever skin comes into contact with it. Allergies to rubber, skin medications, hairdressing chemicals and fragrances are particularly common.

There is a website dedicated to eczema which I have included the link below. There is also a website that retails the range of products found on this website which I have also included below. Here are some of the comments that users of the Allergenics range of products:

“My son was getting really bad eczema at the back of his knees and on his arms and it took ages for it to settle before using this ointment. It works really well and you don’t need to put loads on. Recommended”

“My skin has become very dry and sensitive since becoming pregnant and allergenics skin lotion is the only moisturiser I have found that sooths my skin and stops it itching – excellent stuff!”

“Already the dry sore skin below my eyes and on my neck is fading and feels more comfortable. I have very senstive skin and I am very wary of the normal cosmetic products…. which caused this problem in the first place!”

“My son has eczema and this cream has helped keep it under control. It has lasted longer than I thought it would as I don’t need to put a lot on. I would recommend it to everyone.”

“My husband was given cream for a skin complaint, it only made the condition worse. As we were on holiday in Torquay & the skin was much worse I found your cream in a chemist. It started to heal the skin allmost immediately. I am more than pleased to reccommend this to anyone A Aldridge”
