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?

Answer 4

Treatment

Moisturizing

Dermatitis severely dries out the skin, and keeping the affected area moistened can promote healing and retain natural moisture. This is the most important self-care treatment that one can use in atopic eczema.

The use of anything that may dry out the skin should be discontinued and this includes both normal soaps and bubble baths that remove the natural oils from the skin.

The moistening agents are called 'emollients'. The rule to use is: match the thicker ointments to the driest, flakiest skin. Light emollients like Aqueous Cream may dry the skin if it is very flaky and whilst it is the moisturiser traditionally prescribed by doctors in the UK, it is in fact only licensed for use as a soap substitute on washing.

Emollient bath oils should be added to bath water and then suitable agents applied after patting the skin dry. Generally twice daily applications of emollients work best and whilst creams are easy to apply, they are quickly absorbed into the skin and so need frequent re-application. Ointments, with their lesser water content, stay on the skin for longer and so need fewer applications but they must be applied sparingly if to avoid a sticky mess.

Typical emollients in the U.K. are: Oilatum or Balneum bath oils, Aqueous cream for washing with, Diprobase or Doublebase pump-action creams also used for washing and may be later applied directly to the skin. The preferred moisturiser of dermatologists is a mix of liquid and white-soft paraffins. Sebexol, Epaderm ointment and Eucerin lotion or cream may be helpful with itching. Moisturizing gloves can be worn while sleeping.

Some report improvement of symptoms after treatment of the skin with porridge oats, either directly or with an extract.

Answer 5

I use organic rose hip oil and tea tree oil for my eczema at the neck area. Really helps in my case as I went to International Skin Centre but the cream given is not so effective. I use two drops each day after shower.

Answer 6

Yes, i had 3 friends who had ezcema and did a detox programme and had it under control.

My mentor who has over 10 years of experience in natural health says that people with ezcema signify they are sensitive to certain things and that they may have weaker livers.

It is possible to overcome the problem if they detox. But depending on the seriousness, some people may need to detox a few times to get rid of the problem completely.

Others are happy to keep it control after detoxing once.. ;)

I intro this to my friend whose daughter had the same problem but not as serious.. after her daughter went through it, her daughter recovered...

If you would like to find out about the detox programme, pls email me at [e-mail]

Answer 7

Apply a mixture of 1 teaspoon camphor and 1 teaspoon sandalwood paste on the rashes. Apply nutmeg paste to the affected areas. Put natural vitamin E on the affected skin, it will relieve you of itching. Zinc taken orally and applied directly on the affected skin is effective. Both shark cartilage and lotion of blueberry leaves reduce inflammation. Use pine tar soap to wash the affected skin. Drink tomato juice daily, it will cure the symptoms in a few days.

Answer 10

I have a medical book that say to take fish oil, which comes in a capsule. Sounds gross, and haven't tried it yet. I'll wait until next flare up. Stress is a big factor in having outbreaks......when I do have one I tell my family, jokingly of course, "Look what you've done to me, stop stressing me, it's all your fault." Thinking of looking into the dairy factor also. Good luck!
