There are 2 main types of eczema namely:

Atopic or constitutional eczema.
This is a chronic, non-infectious condition where 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. Atopic eczema can involve both hereditary predisposition and environmental factors. The severity of the condition can be different in everyone. This eczema usually begins in childhood and may disappear in 80% after childhood, this does not mean 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 which substances you are allergic to or which 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 prone to irritants and allergenic stimuli. If you have both forms of eczema, it's called hybrid eczema.

In case of contact eczema, the doctor will try to find out which substances irritate you and/or to which substances you are allergic.

How do you get rid of it?
