“There are many potential triggers for eczema, and each individual may have specific triggers for their own symptoms,” says Peter Lio, MD, a dermatologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago.Triggers of eczema, which is also called atopic dermatitis, include things like:
Overly dry skinDry, cold climate, particularly during winterSweatIrritants such as metals, cigarette smoke, fragrances, and fabrics like wool and polyesterAllergens such as mold, pollen, dust mites, and pet danderVarious foods that cause allergic reactions, such as eggs, soy, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, wheat, and milkBacterial, viral, and fungal infectionsHormonal changes, particularly during pregnancy or in the days before menstruation Another common trigger for eczema symptoms is stress.For some people, various external factors, such as school or work, can cause stress, resulting in worsening eczema symptoms. For others, flare-ups result from the stress of knowing they have eczema. Additionally, the isolation and uncertainty of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic can cause people with the skin condition to have stress-induced flare-ups.

The skin condition also affected their ability to effectively engage in self-improvement activities.A study published in January 2020 in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice looked at medical records of more than 500,000 adults with atopic eczema and more than 2.5 million without the skin condition in the United Kingdom over 18 years. The results revealed that individuals with eczema had a 14 percent greater risk of developing depression and a 12 percent increased risk of anxiety than those without eczema. Furthermore, those with severe eczema were even more likely to develop depression — a 26 percent higher risk than those without the skin condition.

Lio says. While there are many theories about how stress and eczema are connected, researchers have found that there is a network in the body that both directly and indirectly affects the immune system, the skin barrier, and behavioral aspects of eczema, he explains.

&quot;One of the hardest parts is that there can be a vicious cycle: the skin and symptoms cause more stress, which then, in turn, worsens the skin,” Lio says.When we experience stress, the body undergoes a &quot;flight or fight response,&quot; also known simply as the &quot;stress response.&quot;
Part of this response is the activation of the so-called HPA axis, a network involving the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and adrenal glands, which produce hormones. The HPA axis increases the amount of cortisol — a stress hormone — circulating in the body.

Cortisol is an immune system regulator and ultimately causes an imbalance in the body&#x27;s different types of immune responses, resulting in the increase of cell signaling molecules that promote inflammation.Part of this cascading response from the immune system imbalance is an increase in the production of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies, which cause allergic reactions. The body also experiences various other physiological changes that affect the skin.For example, the production of mast cells increases — these white blood cells release histamine, a compound that causes itchiness.

Stress also causes our blood vessels to dilate, which leads to a further release of histamine. Additionally, sensory nerves release molecules that can disrupt the normal functions of the outermost layer of the skin (the skin barrier). These and other responses work in concert during stressful events and drive up eczema symptoms.

Lio says he typically introduces his patients to several of these techniques and asks which ones sound good to them. “Finding ways to relax and de-stress are critical,” he says. “Sometimes it takes a few tries to find the right fit for someone, but once found, it can make a tremendous impact.”

Department of Health and Human Services recommends that adults living with a chronic condition get between 150 and 300 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, such as walking briskly, biking lightly, raking your yard, or mowing the lawn. Alternatively, you could also meet your exercise requirement by getting 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity (or a combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity) aerobic exercise each week.

Just be sure to get clearance from your doctor before beginning a new exercise routine. If sweat is a flare-up trigger for you, make sure to take a shower after exercising and change your clothes. Wear light, breathable fabrics while working out that don’t rub or scratch the skin.
