Eczema
Eczema is an inflammatory change of the skin, often with redness, itching and scaling; atopic dermatitis (neurodermatitis) belongs to it too. At the Kyborg Institute we additionally read skin themes on an energetic-symbolic level.
Contact and demarcation – our reading
The skin is our boundary to the world. In our reading, eczema can symbolically have to do with contact and demarcation – with the feeling of being “exposed” or too close to others. We assign this to the region of the 4th chakra (heart, closeness). That is an inner image, no attribution of blame – a rash, especially with children, is no “mistake in upbringing”.
Care and environment
Eczema and atopic dermatitis can be treated dermatologically; good skin care and the avoiding of individual triggers help. Caring baths can be pleasant as wellness. Attention and a relaxed environment do good.
What does that mean in practice?
- Care for the skin well and avoid individual triggers.
- Pay attention to one’s own need for closeness and demarcation.
