I know someone who has severe eczema over 90% of her body and has been going to a dermatologist for 9 months,?

The doctor has prescribed all the lotions and Prentizone and no relief. She is 90 and is miserable. I can’t see taking her back to a dermatologist when just regular treatment doesn’t work.

Cure for eczema and eczema scars pleeease?

December 26th, 2010 Guest Author 5 comments

Please take the time to read!

So im 16 and Ive had Atopic Eczema(which is the generic type) since I was a baby and it has ruined my life! The actual eczema obviously is very irritating, itchy, embarrassing and causes great discomfort. Im often disgusted at my own body
It also causes me countless sleepless nights due to unbearable itching
My parents have spent LOADS of money on pills, medicine, creams, soaps, lotions etc.
Its awfull!

The scars caused by years of eczema and scratching are perhaps even worse! Im so embarrassed I cry when I see myself in the mirror. Its causes me to hate summer because in winter I can hide it but summer I can’t.
I never wear any short things, only long pants and jeans and no t-shirts only long tops. Even on the hottest days when I sweat to death I have to wear these hot long-sleeved clothes
When my friends and I go out they all wear shorts and pretty dresses and everyone says: oh you look so pretty to them and then I look like a sluggish mess!
I never go swimming EVER! cause that’s the worse. This holiday I’ve missed my class party, my friends birthday, and I stayed home when my 2 besties went camping at the beach for a week!
Ive tried to ignore it and wear short things even if my scars are there but when I reveal my scars in public I wish Id rather die.People stare when I walk past and there’s endless questions of: What happened? and Oh why does your skin look like that? and when I say its eczema I see the pity in their eyes and I hate it when people feel sorry for me. Also when I see everyone else and how gorgeous they look in there shorts and clothes and I see myself and how I look I feel embarrassed and shy. There’s even people who are disgusted and don’t want to talk to me because it almost like I have some contagious disease!

Please… my eczema has caused me endless suffering, and I have zero self-esteem! I cry every night and once even cut my wrists. But I realize I need help that’s why I’m asking this! I hate looking like a monster! Ive been to doctors but I need advice from someone who has experienced this!

How do I heal/cure the eczema and especially the scars quickly! Home remedies if possible
Thank you

How the Cooling Effect of Eczema Lotions Offers Considerable Relief

November 28th, 2010 Guest Author No comments

Eczema is a type of dermatitis, or an inflammation of the upper layer of skin. In general, Eczema describes swollen, reddened and itchy skin. There are different types of eczema, atopic eczema; contact dermatitis, xerotic eczema and seborrhoeic dermatitis. Seborrhoeic Eczema is more commonly found. Eczema is triggered due to dust mites, animal saliva, stress, soaps, detergents, disinfectants and many more. For treating this eczema an in depth analysis is needed.

Primarily typical eczema lotion is used in treatment. This eczema lotion acts in many ways. The infected site is often irritated and inflamed and so applying the eczema lotion gives a very soothing effect on inflamed skin and it keeps skin hydrated. Maintaining adequate moisture will definitely relieve the pain of dry skin and reduce scaling and inflammation. Eczema lotion helps in maintaining adequate moisture level.

The cooling effect of eczema lotions offers considerable relief to mental distress. Unlike other creams, Eczema lotions are easy to spread evenly over a large surface area. Many eczema lotions contain active ingredients which aid in healing the damaged skin and which act against pathogens, and can cause irritation and eruptions.

Many eczema lotions available in market have immediate remedial effect. This means that after their application you can immediately feel the soothing effect. When anyone is in acute pain it may not be possible to spend time getting information on the various types of lotion, so it is advisable to follow the doctor’s prescription or can go with advice of pharmacist. Many times eczema is accompanied by small breaks in the skin, so you can feel the relief even before you finish applying lotion.

Calamine lotion is also proven effective in treatment of eczema. Primary ingredients of calamine lotions are zinc oxide and ferrous oxide. Zinc oxide has some properties that make it useful for certain skin diseases, including eczema. This zinc powder is a strong antiseptic and it absorbs moisture that makes it good for eczema with weeping sores. Calamine lotion is water insoluble; it keeps the skin dry when alkaline liquids encounter the affected area. However, this lotion is effective but high dosage of ferrous oxide and zinc compounds can be harmful to the skin or when inhaled. Therefore, it is advisable to use calamine lotion for a limited period.

Most of ingredients of eczema lotions will dry away or break down after application. Combating stress along with eczema lotions will help you more in the treatment, because stress levels can lead to new eruptions and itching. In skin, new cells are formed all the time and old cells are cast off, so the skin layer on which you had applied lotion does not remain on the place for long time.

Eczema lotions are effective and popular because of their ease of application but degree and duration of the effect will depend only on specific ingredients and every individual skin. Many a time combination therapy is used to treat eczema and lotion is used only to give a temporary cooling effect. A good quality eczema lotion is effective on only outer layer of skin, to form protective layer, which keeps chemicals out and keeps moisture in allowing faster healing.
