Dermatitis (also known as eczema) is an inflammation of the skin, usually characterized by itching, redness and rashes. In cases of short duration, small blisters may appear, while in long-term cases the skin may become thicker. The area of skin involved can range from small to the entire body.
Dermatitis includes atopic dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis and stasis dermatitis. The exact cause of the condition is often unclear. Cases may involve a combination of allergy and poor venous return. The type of dermatitis is generally determined by the person's history and the location of the rash. Irritant dermatitis, for example, is common on the hands of those who wet them frequently. Allergic contact dermatitis occurs with exposure to an allergen, causing a hypersensitivity reaction in the skin.
Treatment BeterKlinic
BeterKliniek is the clinic for Integrative Medicine that bridges regular and non-regular medicine.
An van Veen (physician) and Michael van Gils (therapist) look for the cause of a condition or disease. That is where the treatment starts otherwise, as people often say, it is 'carrying water to the sea'. We call this cause medicine. Sometimes it is also desirable to treat the symptoms (at the same time). We call this symptom medicine.
Chronic disorders often have their cause in epi- genetics. You can schedule a free informative telephone consultation (phone number 040-7117337 until 1 p.m.) at BeterKliniek to discuss your symptoms so that we can provide you with further advice.
