Eczema in children Dubai: How often does eczema occur?

It has seen in 10 to 20 % of children as compared to 2% of adults. Ninety percent starts before age 5 years. Also, 30 to 50% of children with eczema have associated asthma or hayfever.

Eczema in children Dubai: Why does eczema happen?

  • Atopic eczema runs in families and genes are inherited from parents.
  • Is caused by immune dysfunction. There is an imbalance between Th1 and Th2 types of immunity with the latter being more dominant. Th2 is related to allergy and IGE production.
  • People with atopic eczema have reduced the amount of skin barrier cells. They often have very dry skin because their skin is unable to retain much moisture. This dryness makes the skin more likely to react to certain triggers, causing it to become red and itchy.
  • Hygiene Hypothesis- evidence suggests that early exposure to nonpathogenic microbes reduce the chances of eczema e.g. exposure to animals, unpasteurized milk etc.

Eczema in children Dubai: Triggers and other predisposing factors

  • Contact irritants: Like soaps, wool clothes, detergents, perfumes.
  • Aeroallergens: House dust mites, molds, animal danders.
  • Food allergens: Almost 30 to 50% of children with this have allergies to foods. 90% of the food allergies are caused by cow milk, wheat, soy, egg, fish, shellfish, peanuts. Many of these resolve by the age of 5 years.
  • Babies who are not breastfed: One long-term study of children who were breastfed showed that breastfeeding reduces food allergies at least through adolescence (Grasky 1982). Protection from allergies is one of the most important benefits of breastfeeding. The incidence of cow’s milk allergies is up to seven times greater in babies who are fed artificial baby milk instead of human milk (Lawrence 1994).
  • Obesity: prolonged obesity can increase chances.
  • Gestational diabetes: in mother especially of term babies.
  • Caesarean deliveries: when a baby is born via the vagina the mother’s germs enter the baby’s gut and help set up the protective microbiome. Research has shown that delivery by c-section is associated with a moderate risk increase for allergic rhinitis, asthma, hospitalization for asthma, and perhaps food allergy/food atopy.
  • Stress: Any kind of stress can irritate the nerve endings in the skin and aggravate eczema.
  • Skin infection: aggravated by scratching can cause inflammation and worsen eczema
