strongEczema Home Remedies Natural Treatments That Work In Treating
Eczemastrong pEczema is a chronic, noncontagious skin condition
with various manifestations, and as such is known by many names.
Atopic eczema, atopic dermatitis, infantile eczema, seborrhoeic
eczema, and varicose eczema are but a few of the many types of this
skin disorder. The most common type is atopic dermatitis, which is
often seen in infants and small children. Nine out of ten of eczema
cases happen in children younger than five years old. Rarer forms
include dyshidrotic eczema, which occurs in warm weather, and
nummular eczema, which occurs mostly during winter.br br During an
eczema flareup, the person experiences itching and rashes that may
be red or brownish, scaly, dry, thick, leathery, crusty or flaky.
These may also appear as blisters oozing fluid, or as small,
elevated bumps on the skin. In some cases, the skin simply becomes
thick, rough and red. When scratched, eczema rashes may be
infected, and this can worsen the inflammation. The rashes are
often found on the arms, legs, chest, hands, or the face. In
children, the rashes typically appear on the cheeks, elbows or
knees, especially in skin folds.br br Eczema is believed to be
caused by a hereditary impairment of the immune system. A person
with eczema often has family members who also have eczema, asthma
or hay fever. The standard treatment is antiitch topical
medications, including antihistamines. This treatment only relieves
the symptoms, and does not cure eczema. There is, in fact, no known
cure for eczema. It is a lifelong skin problem that recurs every
now and then.br br While eczema has no cure, there are many
management strategies to keep it under control, relieve the
itchiness and discomfort, and prolong the time between recurrences.
