Not necessarily a sign of weak immune system. Eczema is just the inflammatory reaction to any allergen, irritant, climate.

Eczema and the Immune System:
- Eczema is not a sign of a weak immune system. It involves an overactive immune response causing skin inflammation.
-
Immune System Role:
- The immune system overreacts to triggers like allergens, irritants, or stress, leading to symptoms.
-
Not a Weakness:
- This overactivity differs from a weak immune system, which struggles to fight infections.
-
Contributing Factors:
- Genetics, skin barrier issues, and environmental factors also play roles in eczema.
-
Management:
- Managing triggers and following treatment plans can help control symptoms. Consult a healthcare provider for concerns about immune health.

I'm a 22-year-old and I've noticed stretch marks all over my stomach. They're even extending down to my mons pubis area. When I touch them, they feel kind of hollow. I'm really worried they might get worse. Is having stretch marks in that area something to be concerned about?
Stretch marks on the mons pubis and outer vagina area are common and are usually not a threat to your health. To help reduce the appearance of stretch marks and prevent further increase, you can try using a topical cream containing Tretinoin. Apply a thin layer of Tretinoin cream on the affected areas once daily. Additionally, you can also use a moisturizer containing Hyaluronic Acid to keep the skin hydrated and improve its elasticity. Remember to consult with a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
