VULVAIR ECZEEM

Initially, it is important for the doctor to find out what form of eczema it is. Usually the doctor can determine this from what he sees and what you tell him.

There are 2 main types of eczema namely:

Atopic or constitutional eczema
This is a chronic, non-infectious condition in which the skin is dry and defective, because of this there is a reduced function of the skin barrier. A disturbance of the immune system is also seen in atopic eczema. In atopic eczema, both hereditary predisposition and environmental factors can play a role. The severity of the condition can be different in everyone. This eczema usually begins in childhood and can disappear in 80% after childhood, this does not mean that it will not return later.


Contact eczema or exogenous eczema
This eczema is the result of external factors (i.e. from outside).
With this form of eczema, it is of course important to know what substances you are allergic to or what substances trigger the irritation.

In women with atopic or constitutional eczema on the vulva, the protective function of the skin on the vulva is reduced, so these women are often also more susceptible to irritants and allergenic stimuli. If you have both forms of eczema, you call it hybrid eczema.
