Allergies and eczema caused by everyday things

People who want silk often have sensitive skin.

Today I'd like to talk about an interesting article I found about skin problems.

 

Childhood eczema, which is said to affect approximately 10 % of children, may be influenced by the mother's environment during pregnancy.

It's surprising that one in ten people develop this condition, but recently, perhaps due to the effects of pollen and exhaust fumes, children seem to have longer eyelashes than in the past... It's sometimes hard to tell whether these things are really the result of relationships or changes in diet, or just genetics, but I personally find it interesting to read about.

 

Pediatric eczema is a skin problem that appears in children, including atopic dermatitis. Although there are genetic factors, research at Hokkaido University has pointed out that the environment in which children spend their time is related to the onset of the condition.

 

It seems that the humidity environment that causes mold and condensation, and flooring materials may be the cause. It's a very detailed and sensitive matter, but it made me realize that there are many things to be careful about during pregnancy.

 

Just as they say that the food a child eats and the music they listen to can change their inclinations, it seems that the mother's physical condition and environment itself have a huge impact on the baby... Well, maybe that's only natural since they share the same body, but I think pregnancy and childbirth are almost mysterious.

 

Reading this article about the environment during pregnancy reminded me of a story about an acquaintance of mine who would sneeze and have a runny nose when she wore fluffy, synthetic polyester clothes that would collect dust. Whether or not you can feel comfortable when wearing clothes is an important point, isn't it?

 

This time, mold and flooring materials were pointed out, but I thought I'd check again myself to see if the clothes I'm wearing could also be causing allergies!
