greetings greetings it's Eric Bakker naturopath from New Zealand thanks for
coming back we're talking about the causes of Sedlar or separate dermatitis
so septum is actually quite a common condition if you think about a condition
like psoriasis that affects around 9 million US citizens but the septum is
about 6 million so it's quite a lot of people to get it it's very easy to get
this condition mixed up with psoriasis or excellent in many many doctors get
this confused themselves so just be careful about the diagnosis I urge you
again to have a good look at Google Image Search because I think dr. Google
in some cases can be smarter than your doctor may be dr. Google went to a
different College I don't know that dr. Google seems to know quite a lot so
let's look at some of the causes of this condition what do people talk about when
it comes to you know sit down are there any conditions that come to their mind
that may have caused it many people are seen with psoriasis and
said there will have periods where the skin is not so bad and skin times where
the skins bad at other times where the skin is real bad so what's the
difference what causes it what brings these you know kinds of flares up to the
foreground why is it so well emotional stress and depression have been linked
actually through studies there are various studies now that show that these
skin conditions can really be pushed up by stress cortisol is one of the key
hormones involved in increasing inflammatory conditions or D secret
decreasing inflammatory conditions so the adrenals produced cortisol in
response to any kind of event stressful event any kind of demand placed on you
corn is also produced but with emotional stress lots of corn salts produced that
can actually suppress inflammation and as cortisol production drops off the
inflammation increases so you can have during the day periods of high cortisol
or low cortisol so and you can a prolonged periods of local result which
will drive the inflammation up again especially common with long term
low-grade stress skins really bad so trauma emotional stress depression
anxiety all these things that can be real triggers and causes for subdued
fatigue and lack of sleep just not enough rest too much computer
time too much party time too much enjoyment or you could have
some medical condition that's preventing you from sleeping sleeping so paramount
towards recovery from a skin condition so lack of sleep
or poor sleep can be a big cause for triggering skin problem like psoriasis
or you know said the immune disrupting factors some people could be taking
medications for immunity like steroids for example there could be on
antibiotics there could be on medications for neurological conditions
so there are many medications that are linked up as being potential etiology or
what we call etiology medicine or causative factors I've said them so
certain drugs could be linked up I know for example that there are at least
seven or eight different types of pharmaceutical drugs linked up with
psoriasis and I wouldn't doubt if they were segged erm you know drugs that
actually could stimulate approve you know the initiation who said wouldn't
surprise me at all so if you're on a medication and you
develop center this condition make sure you you check out on Google there's no
link between cause and effect because you don't want to be on a drug that
causes a skin problem and keeps it going systemic infections so you could have
all kinds infection it could be Lyme disease it could be indeed a problem
that could be SIBO you know you couldn't have a viral infection so some type of
latent infection could be parasitic problem so sometimes it could be an
underlying problem you know that really wrecks your immune system and allows
this condition to come up exposure to different conditions in the workplace
for some people for example working in packing sheds or people working in meat
works or people working in comm and affecting plants or you know all sorts
of environments when I was younger I used to work in a flour mill and it was
noisy and dusty environment so many people work in different environments
that could be causing a problem with this you know increasing
yes and causing a skin problem could be driving this skin now could be making
this skin moist who knows but think about those kind of things so yeah those
are basically different types of causes that we spoke about and if any of those
ring true for you have a good think about it and maybe some more google
searching to see if it's linked with your septum thanks for tuning in
