There might be a trigger such as allergy exgarbating it ,In many cases, eczema goes into remission and symptoms may disappear altogether for months or even years and then may come when the trigger comes again .eczema is thought to be inherited .
These symptoms also tend to worsen and improve over time, with flare-ups occurring periodically.
scratching can make the rash worse and can eventually lead to thickened, brownish areas on the skin.
CAUSES
These include defects in skin barrier function making the skin more susceptible to irritation by soap and other contact irritants, the weather, temperature and non-specific triggers
Flare-ups can be prevented or improved by avoiding POSSIBLE TRIGGERS such as:
>feminine hygiene products used by a women could cause allergy trigger in her partner , as these can cause irritation.
>LATEX CONDOM used in sexual intercourse also may be a trigger
>scented soaps, lotions, and bubble baths.
>shampoos and sometimes hard water
>When exercising or swimming, change out of wet or damp clothing immediately afterward.
>emotional stress,excessive heat,sweating
>some foods (this depends on the person, but dairy products and acidic foods like tomatoes seem to be common culprits)
Also, curbing the tendency to scratch the rash can prevent the condition from worsening and progressing to cause more severe skin damage or secondary infection
>Unfortunately ,there is no known cure for atopic dermatitis (eczema). As a large part of the tendency towards eczema is genetic, there is unlikely to be a cure anytime in the foreseeable future. There is, however, ongoing research and very effective treatments.
The treatment chosen by the patient and doctor depends on the pattern, severity and duration of eczema.
The trigger factors for eczema should be avoided as much as possible. This does not involve an exhaustive search for allergies as these only play a small role in most people.
In general topical treatments are used first as they are effective for most patients if used correctly and have the fewest side effects.
If the eczema has failed to respond to topical treatments or is too severe for topical treatment alone, ultraviolet light (phototherapy) may be helpful. Phototherapy is not suitable for everyone due to practical difficulties (such as travel or immobility) or photosensitivity.
Oral medications may be offered to those with severe or treatment-resistant eczema. Although these are usually effective, they have side effects and risks that make them unsuitable as first line treatment.
Anti histamine may be given for itching
TIPS TO FOLLOW AND TO LESS THE TRIGGERS :
>Avoid frequent hot baths, which tend to dry the skin.
>Use warm water with mild soaps or nonsoap cleansers when bathing
>Avoid using scented soaps.
>Ask your doctor if it's OK to use oatmeal soaking products in the bath to help control the itching.
>Avoid excessive scrubbing and toweling after bathing , Instead, gently pat your skin dry.
>Avoid dressing in harsh or irritating clothing, such as wool or coarsely woven materials. Dress in soft clothes that "breathe," such as those made from cotton.
>Apply moisturizing ointments (such as petroleum jelly), lotions, or creams regularly and always within a few minutes of bathing, after a very light towel dry.
Even if using a corticosteroid cream prescribed by the doctor, apply moisturizers or lotions frequently (ideally, two to three times a day).
But avoid alcohol-containing lotions and moisturizers, which can make skin drier. Some baby products can also contribute to dry skin.
>wear loose underwears
>avoid becoming overheated, which can lead to flare-ups.
>Eliminate any known allergens such as certain foods
>drink plenty of water, which adds moisture to the skin.
>Wear cotton underwear, which is breathable and will keep you dry.
>When exercising or swimming, change out of wet or damp clothing immediately afterward
Eczema is not an allergy itself, but allergies can trigger eczema. Some environmental factors (such as excessive heat or emotional stress) can also trigger the condition which can be prevented ,
However as you see above sexual intercourse can trigger a flare indirectly due to the feminine soaps used by the partner or condom latex or douche washes during intercourse so check with the doctor for your possible treatments and triggers to minimize flare ups and prolong the remission period .
