Eczema and Urticaria: Understanding Allergic Skin Conditions
Eczema, commonly known as Atopic Dermatitis, is an allergic skin disease. The term “Atopic” refers to allergies, and “Dermatitis” means inflammation of the skin. This condition is primarily caused by airborne allergens such as Parthenium (a type of weed), microscopic insects in dust, or pet dander. Avoiding these allergens through specific measures is crucial for managing the condition. In some cases, the new modern allergy shots offered by Dr. S Z Jafrey have proven to be highly effective.
While many skin doctors do not offer allergy testing for allergic skin diseases, patients with eczema need to undergo these tests. By doing so, they can identify specific food allergies and avoid only those foods that trigger their condition, allowing them to enjoy all other foods without worry. This approach makes food avoidance much clearer and more manageable.
Urticaria, also known as hives or “dadode/pitti” in Hindi, is another skin condition often caused by allergies. Allergy testing is particularly beneficial for patients with urticaria. Unlike eczema, where skin tests may not be as effective, a serum test is more reliable in identifying the allergens responsible for this condition.
