Suffering from Acne and Eczema at the Same Time?
If you, or someone that you know, is suffering from both acne and eczema at the same time you’ll know how difficult it can be to treat the problem. On one hand the eczema is dry and needs a lot of moisture and on the other hand the acne needs a completely different treatment and the excess moisture can cause even more problems. So this article will aim to give you some relief if you are suffering from both conditions at the same time.
While acne and eczema are different types of skin conditions there are some similarities in treating both cases naturally. Acne, which appears when the sebaceous glands become inflamed, is due to skin pores being clogged and struggling to excrete excess oil. Eczema on the other hand is often caused by an allergic reaction or depressed immune system which creates a dry red itchy rash over certain parts of the skin.
Both conditions do seem to be helped by treating the cause of the problem rather than just the symptoms. Diet and reducing stress seem particular beneficial in treating both conditions as often, and particularly for eczema conditions, certain foods can trigger both acne and eczema to appear.
The most common food culprits are dairy products, yeast/wheat products, highly processed foods and foods that contain gluten. By trying an elimination diet and removing on of these food groups from your diet for one week you can often pinpoint the reason for your skin condition.
A lot of people who start a raw food diet often are amazed at how their skin clears up and starts to glow since the immune system and digestive system start to function more efficiently once the junk is removed.
Stress relieving activities such as yoga and meditation has been scientifically proven to help treat both skin conditions. The reason for this is that the body releases certain chemicals and hormones into your body to help you deal with the stressful situations, however if you constantly are getting these hormones then an imbalance can occur causing it to react externally with either acne or eczema (or even both).
Living a more stress free life also helps improve your immune system (have you ever noticed that you get sick more often when you are constantly running around not taking time out for yourself?). By improving your immune system you can help your body deal with the acne and eczema from the inside out and clear it up fast.
