NEURODERMITIS AND CLOTHING: WHAT TO WEAR?

NEURODERMITIS UND KLEIDUNG: WAS DARF MAN ANZIEHEN?



Neurodermatitis, a chronic skin condition, primarily occurs in flare-ups triggered by various factors. Clothing can also contribute to these flare-ups. Therefore, it is especially important for individuals with neurodermatitis to choose clothing that is gentle on the skin.

Below, we outline different fabric types and how they may impact the skin of those with neurodermatitis.

Cotton

Cotton is a natural fiber that, in its pure form, has beneficial properties for the skin of those with neurodermatitis. It is breathable and absorbs moisture. When purchasing cotton clothing, it’s important to check whether synthetic fibers have been added or if any chemical processing has been used.

 

Wool

Due to its structure, wool is generally unsuitable for people with neurodermatitis, especially when it comes into direct contact with the skin. Its coarse texture can catch on small wounds and skin flakes, causing discomfort and irritation as soon as it’s worn. While wool is a natural fiber, it comes from animals, and skin irritation can be further aggravated by an allergy to animal dander. The same applies to furs.

 

Polyester

Polyester, a synthetic fabric, generally has very low breathability, depending on how it’s processed. Even if it feels comfortable on the skin, it traps moisture underneath, which can irritate sensitive skin and trigger flare-ups. Polyester is better suited for loose-fitting garments that allow air circulation around affected areas.
 
Sportswear is often made from polyester. When choosing sportswear, make sure it is not only comfortable but also certified as breathable, as this helps wick moisture away from the skin during physical activity.

 

Silk

Silk comes in various forms, and smooth silk fabric is barely noticeable on the skin. Its smooth surface provides a cool sensation, making it particularly comfortable for irritated skin.

Linen

Like silk, linen in a smooth form is well-suited for the skin of neurodermatitis sufferers. However, when the linen fabric has a coarser texture, it can cause irritation and itching, much like wool.

 
In summary, natural fibers are generally more suitable than synthetic ones. They are breathable and allow the skin to stay cool, helping to avoid the trigger of "sweating," which can lead to irritation and itching. Always consider the fabric's texture, as rough or coarse surfaces can damage the skin.
