Answer 1

1. All eczema is commonly due to allergies and dry skin combined.
2. All alergies has resistance levels. This means if you give a product today and it was OK then that does not mean that person is not allergetic to it. Tomorow the same product can trigger allergies.
3. Protiens are the source of major allergies. Try to introduce protien rich food later. Also avoid milk, potatoes, wheat, eggs (esp. whites), sea-food, food colors, artificial food favorings and nuts.
4. Keep the child away if you are cooking in your home. I found that the smell of allergy causing food also creates allergies.
5. Keep a log of daily activities including food / drinks, motion and irritations. If you keep the log it will be easier to find the problem foods.
6. Give one food for one week without switching. Start with rice and carrots or rice and broccoli (choose one). Give the same food for a week. If severe allergies are noted then remove it from diet and introduce a new one. Any one food introduced should be given continously for 1 week.
7. After giving a bath pat with a towel slightly leaving a film of water in the skin. Seal that to skin by applying thick gel like plain Vaseline. Many creams also create allergies so be careful in using creams other than plain unscented Vaseline. Also do not use the baby oil - many kids are allergic to mineral oil.
8. The allergies becomes severe if you reintroduce the same allergic food again and again but may go away if you remove it from diet for long periods like more than a month.
9. Angry and sad moods of child make the situation worse. I know that a child with eczema takes parents to the edge and many times we may become harsh. Try to keep your child happy.
10. An unconventional treatment, NAET (http://www.naet.org) worked well for my grandson. For people I have referred it did not work well since it depends a lot on the practitioner. For my granddaughter we did not take treatment since we knew a lot about eczema and could control it well.
11. It is late to tell you but it is best to introduce the solids a little late to kids with eczema.
12. If your child has severe itch, ask him/her to scratch using the back of the nails by scratching backwards (in the opposite direction of normal scratch). You can also scratch him like that. Less damage occurs by scratching reverse.

Answer 4

Get to a private dermatologist. I went to the private clinic in Harley Street, London, and got sorted out.

Most docs try and alleviate the symptoms of eczema, but it's better to try and combat the cause, which is essentially an overactive immune system.

Protopic is a good non-steroidal cream. Long term use of steroids thins the skin. Unguentum M is available without a prescription and is an amazing moisturiser.

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.

Answer 6

Mona, along with all the medical treatments you will already know about have you tried these 2 alternatives?

(1) Put oats in a stocking & put it in the bath with him
(2) Get hold of some Redbush tea. Make it according to instructions & bathe effected areas.

As you dont mention how old he is these may not be too practical, but there is some evidence that they do calm down 'enraged' skin. Info re Redbush via the link...

Answer 7

My daughter has suffered for years and we have it under control now. Her diet seems to make no difference but the following has really helped
1 no matter what washing powder you use it leaves a residue-run the rinse cycle again on his clothes to get the last of this out-this made a huge difference to her.

2 she is allergic to most of the over the counter meds but Liz Earl shower gel is the only thing she can bath in (lizearl.com) I think it is the sodium laureth sulphate that affects her-this is what makes the bubbles-liz earls stuff doesn't contain this. Also her sunscreen as my daughter reacts to chemical sunscreens and this doesn't contain any.

3 avoid the route of the chinese herbalist unless you are read the ingredients on the pack -unless you can read chinese-they can work wonders as they contain high amounts of cortisones and steroids-not good for young skin.

4 aveeno cream is a good moisturiser and one my daughter doesn't show a reaction to.

Best of luck-it can be controlled but you need trial and error. Hope he is better soon XX

Answer 8

Hiya I remember a few years ago when i had a bad rash on my arms and body and didnt know what it was and it was getting really embarrasing because I couldnt wear certain clothes had to cover up from head to toe, but eventually a friend of mine told me about Homeopathy and I have to say it worked wonders, after a couple of months and sessions my skin improved and I have never had a reoccurance since. So if you havent tried it yet give it a go and he/she might be able to suggest a type of food that will suit his diet and help .

Answer 9

The reading I have been doing about my systemic yeast infestation indicates that eczema and other similar skin conditions may be caused by Candida Albicans (yeast). There is some basic info on this at www.hufa.org. You may want to try yogurt internally and anti-fungals externally, if you have not already done so.

Answer 10

Maybe you should see a dietician for his allergies? my son had eczema and he was in quite a bad way with it when he was younger. apperently if you get some porridge oats in a muslin cloth and run them under the hot tap whilst running a bath that can help cure it slightly and relieve the itching? I used to use a cream called ungentum merck that you can buy from Boots. it was the only cream that worked on him. Have you been to see a specialist? try to use non-biological washing powder too, that helped. good luck!
