It's Time to De-Stress Your Eczema Journey
If you’ve been told your eczema is “just dry skin,” we want to welcome you to our community and assure you: You deserve to be seen and heard. Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis) is a chronic, inflammatory condition —it is so much more than dryness.
This journey is complex, and it’s okay to feel frustrated and overwhelmed. We are here to simplify the science and shift your mindset from feeling helpless to being in control of your management process.
Your Eczema Isn't Your Fault: The Internal Link
Eczema is not only characterized by what it looks like (dry, scaly patches ) but also by severe itching and dryness. This condition is driven by factors beyond your control:
The Overactive Immune System: Eczema is caused by an overactive immune system that responds to triggers by producing inflammation , damaging your skin barrier.
The Genetic Link: This is biology, not your fault. Some individuals have a faulty filaggrin gene, a protein essential for barrier health, making the skin fragile and prone to moisture loss.
The Holistic Connection: Since it’s caused by an overactive immune system, the issue also resides in the gut and an imbalanced microbiome. You may also have a heightened nervous system due to anxiety and stress, which makes flares worse.
