Overview
The etiology of eczema is multifactorial and complex. This involves aberrations in genetic component, adverse effect of certain medication and some environmental factors.
Etiology of Eczema
Genetic problem
- Damage from the enzymatic activity of allergens is usually prevented by the body's own protease inhibitors, such as, LEKTI, produced from the gene SPINK5.
- Lack of filaggrin gene causes dry skin. [1]
Eczema as an adverse Drug Reaction
- Eczema can also be brought about by some adverse effects of medications.
- Below is a list of commonly prescribed medications with eczema as the common adverse drug effect (Table 1).
| Medication |
|---|
| Cidofovir |
| Flurbiprofen |
| Olaparib |
| Siltuximab |
| Sorafenib |
| Tiagabine |
