Dermatitis

Hyperactive Immune System

Your immune system may react to generally harmless environmental substances if you are born with specific genes. We refer to these substances as allergens. A hyperactive immune system is most commonly manifested as an allergic reaction. It reacts to allergies or tiny irritants if you have atopic dermatitis. There are lots of things that could weaken your immune system. Your immune system protects your body from infections, including harmful viruses, bacteria, and germs that aim to injure you.

1. Food:

   Outside food and food made with excess oil, making us fat or causing disease. We should avoid outside food as much as possible.

2. Stress:

   We get high blood pressure by overthinking about ourselves. Due to stress, we get many other diseases like:- heart disease, diabetes, ETC. We can reduce stress by doing yoga.

3. Enough Sleep:

   People should take 8/9 hours of sleep to keep their body healthy.

4. Alcohol:

   Excessive consumption of alcohol may lead to the development of major diseases like heart disease, liver disease and cancer and ultimately harms the immune system.

Remedies For Dermatitis

Moisturise your skin daily. You can apply cream or ointment. Apply once or twice a day. Lotions and creams generally protect the skin. Avoid rubbing and scratching the affected areas. Cover it with a dressing if you cannot stop scratching the irritated area. Stay away from the sun or take other protective safety measures until your skin heals. Use a gentle cloth to pat the skin after showering. Stay cautious of harsh rubbing.

Tips To Prevent Dermatitis

• Avoid hot showers as they remove oil from the body. It causes the skin to get itchy and dry, which causes the rashes to break out on the body.
• Soaps and detergents may include chemicals or fragrances that aggravate the condition. To prevent irritation, switch to natural or fragrance-free skincare items.
• Change your clothes after getting wet in the rain because rain water contains germs, which may cause allergies.
