Allergies and Sleep

The causes of Eczema can be varied, and for many people it is a matter of trial and eror to work out what their particular triggers are. Some Eczema is a direct symptom of an allergic reaction to things such as food or dust mites, while others can be irritated and inflamed by non-allergenic triggers, such as chemicals, heat and stress.

Here are a few things to help manage your Eczema at night and ensure a better nights sleep.

House dust mites are tiny creatures - no more than 1/3 of a millimetre in length when fully grown. The bodies of the mites and in particular their faecal droppings contain potent allergenic proteins which can trigger allergic disorders. The most common allergic reactions to the Dust Mite Allergen are rhinitis (inflamed, runny nose) and asthma. But it may surprise you to find out that Dust Mite Allergens can irritate the skin, resulting in Eczema.
