According to data, one in five children is troubled by eczema. Eczema not only causes physical and mental suffering for children, but also brings considerable stress and distress to parents during their care. Nowadays, eczema is no longer a condition that can only be managed and not cured. If a child's eczema repeatedly flares up, an allergen test should be carried out as soon as possible to identify the cause of the allergy and then treat it accordingly, so as to avoid delaying the condition and affecting their physical and mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reasons for recurrent eczema in children<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Eczema is common in children aged 3 months to 1 year, often appearing on the face and joints, and sometimes on the limbs or the back. Normally, as children grow, the severity of the condition and the frequency of flare-ups decrease. However, due to various allergic triggers, most people experience recurring or even worsening symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eczema is not necessarily caused by a single factor, but can be caused by multiple reasons and allergens, for example: genetic factors<\/p>\n\n\n\n If one parent has eczema, a child's risk of developing eczema increases twofold; if both parents have eczema, a child's risk of developing eczema increases fivefold. External factors<\/p>\n\n\n\n External factors include home environment, changes in weather, and using unsuitable shower gels, as children have weaker immune systems and their skin finds it difficult to resist external stimuli. When the home environment contains allergens such as dust mites, mould, dust, animal dander, and pollen; or when unsuitable shower gels are used during baths, or inappropriate skincare products are applied, it can cause eczema in children. In addition, changes in temperature and humidity brought about by the weather can also irritate the skin and trigger eczema again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skin factors<\/p>\n\n\n\n Changes in season, naturally dry skin, and a lack of moisture in the skin can weaken the skin barrier, making it more susceptible to external irritants. When skin is dry, it becomes itchy, leading children to scratch constantly, further damaging the skin and creating a vicious cycle. Food factors<\/p>\n\n\n\n Food and eczema are closely related. Many common foods, such as milk, cheese, iced drinks, seafood, beef, lamb, grapes, cherries, peaches, potato crisps, and most spicy, irritating, fried, and rich foods, are common allergens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Emotional factors<\/p>\n\n\n\n Children with weaker emotional regulation skills, combined with eczema which attracts the attention of other children, can lead to low self-esteem, anger, stress, and emotional instability. When stress levels are excessively high and emotions fluctuate significantly, the body secretes large amounts of cortisol. When cortisol levels are consistently elevated, it can easily lead to an imbalance in the immune system, worsening the condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n >>><\/p>\n\n\n\n Undergo allergen testing <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n From the source, it can be seen that there are many possible causes of eczema. To genuinely resolve eczema, allergen testing should be carried out to understand the cause of the eczema and then provide targeted treatment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Primecare Paediatric Centre offers professional paediatric allergy services, allergy testing and desensitisation treatment. Using IgE allergy tests such as the 3rd generation IgE Faber Test and 4th generation IgE Alex2 Test, they identify the true culprits causing allergies, reducing reactions and symptoms like eczema, skin allergies, nasal allergies, asthma, hives, urticaria, and contact dermatitis. Doctors then formulate suitable desensitisation treatment plans, controlling the condition through medication and lifestyle adjustments, so you can say goodbye to eczema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The latest third-generation IgE allergy test, Faber\u00ae (CAAM Test), is EU-certified and uses breakthrough allergen molecule testing technology. It combines molecular and nanotechnology to perform multiplex testing of specific immunoglobulin (IgE). With just 2-3ML of blood, it can test for 295 allergenic molecules that directly cause allergic reactions, greatly improving test accuracy. Children aged 6 months and above can undergo the test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The latest fourth-generation IgE allergy test, ALEX2\u00ae, has received EU IVD approval. It utilises nanotechnology and multiplex testing to analyse the molecular allergens that truly cause allergies. This allows for precise, molecular-level identification of which components trigger an allergic reaction, and effectively pinpoints potential allergies caused by cross-reactivity. This helps you assess allergy risk, interpret symptoms caused by cross-reactivity, and identify the causes of food and environmental allergies, thereby improving eczema-related issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n REF: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
