Some of the main eczema enemies are food allergies and pollen, but many people do not realize that smoking cigarettes can actually trigger and intensify eczema symptoms as well. Hence, people who have eczema need to quit smoking in order to find relief from all the redness, itching and scratching. Let’s have a more in depth look at how and why this can be done.
The Symptoms of Exzema
As anyone suffering from the condition will tell you, eczema is no fun. The following symptoms accompany an eczema outbreak on the skin:
- Rashes
- Redness
- Swelling
- Itching
- Burning
- Flaking
- Cracking
- Bleeding
- Dryness
Though not fatal, eczema is extremely uncomfortable and unsightly; the redness and swelling often lead people to be embarrassed or ashamed of their eczema-filled body parts. Eczema cannot be cured; instead, it must be controlled by way of treatments that include various creams and ointments. Eczema treatments can either be homeopathic (herbs etc.) or mainstream (various doses of steroids).
Irritants Including Smoking Aggravate the Skin
Controlling eczema is all about keeping the skin away from irritants. Lotions, the sun, junk food, and perfumes can all trigger an eczema attack. Cigarettes are also extremely irritating to eczema, as tobacco smoke contains over 4,000 toxins waiting to attack every pore on the skin. And cigarettes not only affect smokers—tobacco smoke also triggers the eczema of people in its vicinity. This is why it so important eczema sufferers to quit smoking. Cigarettes smoke makes it too difficult to control the all the itching, burning and even bleeding and cracking.
