Article reports sports practice rashes may be similar to childhood eczema condition.
New York, NY (1888PressRelease) June 19, 2008 - A recent article cites a Japanese study of eczema and wrestling among Sumo athletes, concluding that wrestling techniques can irritate contact dermatitis. The same joint motion can exacerbate flexural, or flexing, eczema in childhood, writes John Gardiner, a twenty-five year veteran of the OTC pharmaceutical industry,
While sumo wrestling is an extreme sport, it highlights the connection between friction and eczema. This link is discussed in detail in the June article entitled “Sumo Wrestling Linked to Childhood Eczema” that was published by Ezine Articles and can be viewed on http://ezinearticles.com/?id=1235538.
The author illustrates five factors that can irritate sensitive skin, including dyes, chemicals and fragrances. In addition, the article refers to a clinical review of childhood eczema where British researchers warn that woolen and nylon fabrics can contribute to dermatitis.
“One of the keys to successful management is to maintain skin hydration in other words moisturize, moisturize and moisturize again,” writes Gardiner. “But do be careful of what’s in your childs skin care products.”
