an ALL-Natural way 2 get rid of Eczema?

Hey, I've had eczema since I was a baby and I know how irritating it can be. I got labeled "lactose intolerant" because of it when i was young but I still had it even though I didn't consume any dairy products. So i went for a lot of allergy testing at a clinic and I have no allergies whatsoever. It is a mysterious condition, eczema. I've heard so many 'solutions' from people but nothing seems to work. But, mine has gotten better as I've grown so all I can say is wait and see if it improves. In the mean time, I find St.Ives Intensive Relief keeps my skin moisturized for a long time, as does Gold Bond intensive care. For really bad skin though I use a prescribed cream from my doctor. Send my best wishes!

My little boy had eczema on his cheeks. I was not sure what method to use but I didn't want to make my boy go through any surgery treatments at this young age. Some suggested a plastic surgeon since it was in a very visible location but our family doctor recommend this natural guide.

Best Eczema Treatment?

first of all, the use of an all natural skin care moisturizer will be very helpful. have a talk with a skin care expert about recommended products. if you want to avoid skin from scarring better try to avoid scratching the skin for a break in the skin can cause secondary skin infections. stop eczema itching by getting the skin moisturized. and you better keep fingernails short for you might forget sometimes that you have accidentally scratch it. remember that a break in the skin can cause a secondary infection.

try also avoiding a lot of things that can trigger eczema like:

- avoid perfumed skin care and body care products

- avoid extreme hot and cold weather conditions

- avoid keeping fingernails long

- avoid scratching the affected area

- avoid long baths

- avoid processed foods and foods with preservatives

- avoid skin irritants and allergens like dusts and pollens

- avoid clothes and material that are rough, course, scratchy and tight

Everyone here doesn't understand because they don't have hand eczema. I've had the condition now for 5 years and I have the most stubborn form of eczema but, it is somewhat under control now. Here is what I did: 1) 80% of cases are caused because of an allergic reaction (contact dermatitis). Go to your doctor and get blood tests done to determine if you are allergic to anything. Next, you need to do patch testing to see if it is anything you're coming into contact with. 2) If the patch testing is negative, I'm all but certain you're like me and you're eczema is caused by mechanical trauma. Now, you might say, "I'm not in a profession where I use my hands a lot." Well, neither am I. I'm in financial services and the only thing I use my hands for is shaking hands and typing. Nonetheless, I am certain my skin overreacts to trivial trauma incurred. In any event, there is little you can do to avoid this. 3) Remedies: the first line of defense is topical steroids. Go straight for the strongest stuff, Clobetasol, and make sure you put it on your hands in the morning and wrap your hands with clobetasol (occlusion) at night. If clobetasol doesn't work, the next line of defense is immunosuppresents: tacrilomus (Protopic). Apply protopic in the morning and at night, under occlusion (i.e. put on groves). If after a while, you notice the protopic doesn't work, the next line of defense is to expose your hands to a narrow band of UV light. There are two types of UV light therapy 1) PUVA and 2) narrowband uvb. PUVA requires that you apply an emollient to your hand which makes your hands sensitive to light, then you expose your hand to a small band of UV-A light, which your doctor administers. Narrowband uv-b therapy uses the 310-312 bands of light to treat eczema. I personally used narrowband uvb because it had a greater safety profile and i didn't need to use an emollient prior to therapy. I found that the narrowband uv-b improved my condition but it hasn't gotten better. The next line of defense that I have yet to try is alitretinoin which is an antineoplastic agent and a derivative of vitamin A. This retinoid was originally developed as a topical ointment used to treat kaposi's sarcoma. In 2009, pharmaceutical company Basilea developed an oral form of the drug to treat hand eczema. It is marketed as Toctino and it is a first of it's kind--the only systemic treatment that is for hand eczema. It is available in every single developed country except the united states. Currently basilea is concluding stage 3 clinical trials. Once it becomes available in the united states, I'll be the first in line to take it. So far, thousands of people in europe, canada, and oceania have had great success with toctino. There are people who have been suffering for 30 years with this condition and toctino has cured them. If you live in the US like me, and can't wait, you can purchase toctino through a canadian pharmacy but, be prepared to dish out a pretty penny. A 90 supply (the minimum dosing cycle) costs upwards of $2000. I would rather wait for it to come to the US so my insurance can cover it. Some other treatments that you should NOT consider include oral immunosuppresants and steroid injections. 4) Safety profiles a. Clobetasol - has been shown to cause atrophy of the skin but, i wouldn't worry about it. The skin on your hands is very thick. I've been using it for two years with no problems. b. Tacrilomus (protopic) - it has been shown that pro topic causes lymphoma in rats. However, i think this is overblown. The rats were given an oral form of the drug and we're talking about a less potent (topical) form of the drug which is localized only to the hands. c. PUVA and narrowband uvb- I think both are relatively safe but, if you're skin tone is darker, it's slightly safer. In other words, if you have fair skin, red hair, and freckles, I may think twice about choosing narrowband uvb or puva as a therapy but, then again, I think the chances of skin cancer are slim. You aren't exposed to the whole spectrum of ultraviolet light, you're only exposed to a very small band of light--usually the 311 band. I think uvb has a better safety profile altogether d. Alitretinoin (Toctino) aka: 9-cis-retinoic acid-- this drug has a relatively good safety profile. The only thing I would worry about it hairloss. However, people have mentioned that hair does grow back after the drug is no longer present in the liver.

hm..i know how you feel. i hate using steroid stuff. i have excema, and the best way i got rid of it was staying away from things she is allergic to. also, don't shower in hot water, use lukewarm. use baby soap n shampoo, like, johnson and johnson baby wash. it is mild and causes less irritation. i would get a allergy test to know what she is allergic to exactly. and lastly, eucerin original lotion or cream. original is best, others might hurt. apply 3 or more times a day to the affected areas.

First, she has to avoid milk and all dairy products. Have her drink rice milk instead. Actually, she could have multiple food allergies, so she should try the elimination diet. Here's a link to some information on it:
