Eczema Pain is Beyond Skin-Deep
2008-03-26 01:43:00 I recently stumble upon this great video about the current eczema treatment.What's interesting about the video is the statement that says, although eczema can be treated, often doctors and their medical treatments only solve half of the problem.Please watch the following video for the insight on eczema impact that is beyond skin-deep.They tend to 'forget' about the emotional impact of eczema, which is, to me, more devastating than the skin problem itself - self-pity, frustration, depression, low self-esteem, and... "eww, what's that?" statement - affecting both young and old.What to do? Eczema suffers and their relatives need to support each other to fight the negative emotional impacts of eczema, and the perception and comments by others that are both uninformed and not sensitive toward eczema and the sufferers.Eczema Club: All About Eczema

The Eczema Control Plan - Worth to Try!
2008-03-22 11:56:00 I've stumbled upon one groundbreaking International report on what causes eczema. It's so groundbreaking, that it supersedes conventional medical opinions on eczema causes.The report, published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, states that until now, people believe that most eczema sufferers were having an immune reaction to some external influence.However, the new evidence resulting from global studies suggest that in mild to moderate form, the skin disease is probably triggered by something other than an allergic reaction to allergens.Here's the groundbreaking notion - a key factor in developing eczema is the structure of the skin barrier and the integrity of the cells' lipids and binders.The report stated that people prone to eczema have a much thinner skin barrier than people with normal skin and this can be seen under a microscope, even if they do not have obvious eczema lesions.To illustrate, please consider these explanations:1: Normal skinThe very top l...

Goat's Milk and Cow Colostrum Eczema Treatment
2008-03-20 08:55:00 I found interesting news on natural eczema treatment - goat's milk. To tell you the truth, I don't really like the idea of drinking a goat's milk, but maybe my wife want to give it a try? :)I also read on the Net that some people have tried to take a supplement containing cow colostrum and egg yolk extract. According to them, it's pretty effective controlling their eczema.However, I also found out from Dr. Weil's wellness site, that there is not enough evidence that cow colostrum will help treating eczema - He suggests to save your money on this.Well, logically, goat's milk and cow colostrum will actually help eczema sufferer due to their properties that can actually enhance one's immune system. With the egg yolk that enhance energy, the combination of milk / colostrum with the egg yolk sounds good to try.You can find extracts in your region's health food providers to be used as home remedies, or you can take supplements containing those ingredients.Take heed, though - a...

Eczema Flare Ups after Days of Terrible Weather
2008-03-18 14:00:00 Weather really come into play in new eczema patch creation :)Especially where my wife and I live, bad weathers are really THAT bad. Does weather really that influentials?In my experience, yes it does. The problem with all of us with eczema is that our body is built based on our early ages environmental conditions. To refer, an eczema research has shown that exposure to bacterial toxin in the home may protect infants from eczema.Based on the research, I assume that during our early stages of life, our body build some patterns in the immune system that are 'memorised'. In later stages of life, the immune system 'remember' to protect our body from harms that was caused in the past. Therefore, a change in the exposure pattern will effect the immune system.I have no evidence whatsoever regarding this, but I use this logic to understand why today's global warming and rapid climate changes are one of the biggest factors contributing to eczema flare ups frequency. Even some peopl...

The Best Cream for Eczema--Finally!
2008-03-15 01:50:00 So, okay, sometimes the doctors are right. Really. My almost one year old has had bright red half dollar sized patches on her torso, the backs of her legs, and shoulders for months. When I took her to the pediatrician, they said to use hydrocortisone cream on her (which is a skin thinning steroid cream-- sounds great and harmless!) and Eucerin. I thought, ha! I'll find some natural, botanical, no chemical brand that will work even better. Not so much. First I tried California Baby's Calendula cream. This was a nice, think cream that looked like it would really work. I used it up in about a week, and it didn't clear up the rash. I think this cream would work well for kids with extreme dry skin, but not for full eczema. Next I tried Jason Natural Cosmetics- Earth's Best Baby Therapy Cream. This was also thick and worked a bit better, but also went very fast and didn't clear it up, even when I used it right after her bath like everyone told me to. So, I researched the ...

2008-03-13 13:30:00 Successful eczema treatment depends on a precise diagnosis. Why? Several different conditions can cause this skin disorder.Eczema isn't just one thing. Several quite different conditions cause the itchy skin condition. Early on, it looks like red skin that can develop oozing blisters. Later, the skin can get scaly or thick.It's not easy to tell one kind of eczema from another. That's why you need to see a doctor about it. Successful eczema treatment depends on the correct diagnosis.The ProblemThe vast majority of people with eczema have atopic dermatitis, an allergic symptom. That's the kind that shows up early in life, almost always by age 5. Eczema that shows up later than this usually is another kind of eczema."Atopic dermatitis, asthma, and allergic rhinitis (think hay fever) -- that's what we call the allergic triad," dermatologist Jeffrey Weinberg, MD, director of clinical research at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York, tells WebMD.A lot of people think ecz...

Never Too Old to Get Eczema - Real Story
2008-03-13 13:20:00 "I have always been aware of chemicals causing health problems but never realised just how they can creep up on you and cause a problem which seemingly doesn't have an easy answer.At 52 I started a part time job which involved farm work and relief milking of a dairy herd every second weekend. For the first couple of months everything was fine then I started to notice red raw areas starting on my face below my nose and each side of my mouth. I put this down to being exposed to cold drying wind and rubbed cream into them from the chemist.At first there was a some relief but then the problem became much worse. In desperation I saw the local doctor and he gave me steroid cream to clear it up which worked very well and the problem seemed to disappear. Then two weeks later it was back again and another cycle of steroid cream was started again. I hate having to use drugs that just treat the symptoms so started to carefully appraise my exposure to chemicals and what may have been the cause...

Can Bath Oils Help Treat Atopic Eczema?
2008-03-11 16:27:00 What do the papers say?NHS funding is being wasted on eczema-easing bath oils that are of 'questionable' value, the media reported last week.The products are prescribed to ease the skin inflammation caused by allergic eczema, but there is no clinical evidence they work, according to researchers in the Drugs and Therapeutics Bulletin (DTB).The NHS spends £16 million a year on bath oils, about 70p per bath, say the papers. Bath emollients are thought to be easier to apply than topical treatments and are believed to form a protective barrier against irritants.There is no evidence to back this up and emollients could even cause problems, such as slipping in the bath, say media reports.What is the research?The story stems from a discussion piece in the DTB which examines the evidence and use of both bath and topical emollients.The article seems to have been inspired by issues of cost. Each year the NHS spends more than £16 million pounds on bath emollients; 38 per cent of the total c...

Children With Eczema Have Same Impaired Quality of Life as Those With Kidne
2008-03-11 16:25:00 Children with serious skin conditions feel their quality of life is impaired to the same extent as those with chronic illnesses such as epilepsy, renal disease and diabetes, according to research published in the July issue of British Journal of Dermatology.A team of Scottish researchers surveyed 379 5- to 16 year-olds, who had been suffering from skin diseases like acne, eczema and psoriasis for more than six months, together with their parents.They asked the children and their parents how much the condition impaired the child's quality of life when it came to factors such as pain, loss of sleep, dietary restrictions, interference with school and play, friendships, teasing and bullying and medical treatment.They then compared the quality of life scores given by the parents of 161 children with chronic diseases in the same age group.Only six of the 546 parents approached by staff at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee and Perth Royal Infirmary preferred not to take part in the research.

Education Program Reduces Severity of Eczema
2008-03-11 15:58:00 Age-related educational programs for the long-term control of atopic dermatitis in children and adolescents were significantly more effective than conventional treatment, according to a randomized controlled trial of 823 parents and affected patients in Germany.Atopic dermatitis affects up to one-fifth of schoolchildren. Management of this chronic disease may be suboptimal due to lack of information and lack of confidence in medical treatment. While several educational interventions have been developed for adults with eczema, programs for children are sparse.In this study, an interdisciplinary team presented standardized educational programs for the management of atopic dermatitis.

Watching a Weepy Film May be a New Way to Reduce the Symptoms of Eczema
2008-03-10 01:24:00 Eczema Club note: This really unique eczema treatment should also pose a question: Does being sensitive actually helps eczema suffers? I think it does. What do you think?

Omega 3 Fish Oil and Eczema
2008-03-09 03:58:00 What is the Role of Omega 3 Fish Oil in Eczema TreatmentEczema or excema, known as dermatitis in the medical dictionary, is a skin condition in which it becomes red with little cracks and spots. People usually use creams and other medication to treat this illness. However, this provides only temporary solution and the irritation returns after a few days. Recent studies in the field of eczema treatment have revealed that eating fish or fish oil capsules can prevent eczema and other skin-related problems.This is because fish oil is rich in omega 3 fatty acids – DHA and EPA – which are not only beneficial for proper functioning of nervous system and immune system, but are also helpful in the prevention of various skin-related diseases like acne, formation of red spots, wrinkles and eczema. Therefore, the role of omega 3 fish oil in eczema treatment is significant and noteworthy.Omega 3 fish oil and eczema can be connected by the fact that fish oil is the only known natural source o...

Probiotic Treatment may Limit Eczema in Infants
2008-03-09 03:54:00 Oral supplementation with the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri to the mother during pregnancy and to the infant after birth may help reduce the development of eczema and allergy associated with immunoglobulin E, a key protein involved in the allergic response, according to Swedish researchers.Probiotics are small molecules that help maintain the natural balance of organisms, also referred to as microflora, in the intestines.Altered microbial exposure may underlie the increase of allergic diseases in affluent societies. Probiotics may help, Dr. Thomas R. Abrahamsson of Linkoping University Hospital and colleagues note.To investigate, the researchers enrolled families with a history of allergic disease. Expectant mothers were randomly assigned to receive L reuteri in an oil suspension or a placebo treatment, each day from week 36 until delivery.Their babies continued with the same formulation from birth until 12 months of age and were followed up for another year.

2008-03-08 16:25:00 A study is currently being conducted to determine if using Elidel to treat atopic eczema could prevent the development of allergic asthma, rhinitis and hay fever later in life. It is estimated that 80% of children with atopic eczema will eventually develop asthma etc.The theory is that by protecting the skins barrier through early treatment of eczema, there is less likelihood of allergens penetrating into the skin and setting of immune responses.Elidel is currently the only FDA approved non-steroid treatment for atopic dermatitis or eczema. It doesn’t have the side effects of the comparative steroid creams.Source: Summary of medical news story as reported by Medical News Today, from http://wrongdiagnosis.comEczema- Club note: Please read our prevous posts on the use of Elidel as topical immunomodulator to treat eczema.Information on eczema natural cream to treat red, itchy and flaky skinEczema Club: All About Eczema
