cure for eczema?

Question

apart from steriod cream for eczema,does anyone know of any cure .

Answer 1

The terms eczema and dermatitis are now used synonymously. They refer to a distinctive reaction pattern of the skin showing a combination of signs which depend on the duration of rash and type of eczema.

Eczema / Allergic Dermatitis - CAUSE

Based on the etiology, eczemas are divided into two basic groups:

1. Exogenous - This can occur due to contact with some irritant or allergen

2. Endogenous - This group contains all other types of which cause and mechanism is poorly understood. Many factors like heredity, hypersensitivity, fungal infection, senile changes, venous stasis etc are implicated in various forms of endogenous eczema.

Eczema / Allergic Dermatitis - MECHANISM - WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS?

It is not very well understood. In acute stage of eczema, edema of the epidermis and intra-epidermal vesicles form. In chronic stage there is thickening and pigmentation of skin.

Eczema / Allergic Dermatitis - SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Acute Eczema

Redness ans swelling, usually with ill defined margins
Papules, vesicles, and more large blisters
Exudation and cracking of skin
Scaling of skin
Itching in and around the lesion
Chronic Eczema

All the above plus
Thickening and lichenification ( a dry leathery thickening with increased skin margins, is secondary to rubbing and scratching and is most often seen in atopic eczema.)
Fissures and scratch marks
Pigmentation of the skin in and around the lesion
Eczema / Allergic Dermatitis - COMPLICATIONS

Super infection - most often with bacteria (staph-aureus) and yeast (candia). Super infection is encouraged by the use of local steroids.

Eczema / Allergic Dermatitis - HOW IT IS DIAGNOSED?

Usually eczemas are diagnosed clinically. Patch test and prick test may be required for allergens.

Eczema / Allergic Dermatitis - WHAT TO DIFFERENTIATE FROM?

Simple pruritis
Fungal, bacterial, and other infections
Exfoliative dermatitis
HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT & Medicines for Eczema, Allergic Dermatitis
Homeopathy offers very good treatment for eczema, but the approach used by homeopaths is very different from that of conventional treatment. Homeopaths usually do not give anything to apply topically. Instead they try to remove the basic disposition/sensitivity to develop such a lesion using internal medicine. This approach not only successfully removes the eczema but also removes the possibility of development of other hypersensitivity disorders like asthma after the eczema is cured. To find the proper remedy a homeopath collects all the past medical history of the person, his/her family history, his/her physical and psychological characteristics etc. All this information helps the homeopath to find a remedy which not only will remove the eczema but will also remove the disposition to acquire such diseases. As a note of caution I would like to add here that after a proper remedy is given the eczema may occasionally ( not often) show a mild flare up. This should not worry the patient as it is often considered a good prognostic sign by homeopaths.

There are many medicines in homeopathy that are used for this condition. ars-alb, bovista, dulcamara, graphites, lycopodium, mezereum, peteroleum, rhus-tox, sulphur, cicuta etc are some commonly used medicines. But which medicine will work in a particular case can only be judged by a trained homeopath.

Eczema / Allergic Dermatitis - CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT

Topical application of steroids and oral anti-allergic drugs form the main stay of treatment.

WHAT ELSE CAN I DO? - ACCESSORY MANAGEMENT

Avoid any allergen or irritant that may be causing the problem.

I would suggest that you consult a Homeopathic Practitioner in your locality for the treatment and cure of your ailment.

Best of Health to you my friend, Get well soon.

Take Care and God Bless You

Answer 4

a book can't cure eczema.
info in the book might help you but that info is probably found elsewhere.

best advice: look to testimonials from others that have your same condition, see what works and doesn't work. Share knowledge.

What worked for our child, and in a big way, was a British made product, Salcura Dermaspray Gentle. it's now available from a USA distributor.. or get it over the counter at a British Chemist . There's some people with hand eczema that cleared up after using salcura. Look for the testimonials on line.

Answer 6

I see a lot of eczema in my pediatric practice. First, a comment about the prior responses. For some children, food, environmental, and contact allergens can be a factor, but for most, no trigger can be identified. If you can identify a trigger, eliminate it and you should see improvement. The mainstay of therapy now is moisturizer three to four times daily, daily bathing with a moisturizing soap, then medications if these don't work. Topical steroids have the best track record for eczema, but if you want to avoid them there are immune modulators like Elidel. For some, oral antihistamines may help. Talk with your doctor or see a Dermatologist for options. Eczema is thought to be an allergic condition, not a virus.

Answer 8

Depends on what you mean by "cure". Technically, since eczema is a virus that lives in your blood and affects your skin, it never really goes away, you just manage it to keep the symptoms at bay. Be careful of the clothes, jewelry and eyewear that you are wearing because if any of it contains metal (on buttons, buckles, zippers etc) other than real gold, sterling silver or surgical steel it will cause your eczema to flare up. Oh yeah, and don't scratch the areas because it will make it worse and cause it to spread.

Answer 10

Reason for eczema is over-reactive immune system. Balancing the immune system is the essential component of effective treatment. I have found the remedies that do just that. SerenaSkin eczema remedies include ointment and spray for the topical application, and eczema extract for balancing the immune system. This treatment cleared my skin in less than a week, and without harmful  side effects of steroids.

Answer 11

My son has eczema. He was constantly complaining of itchy skin. No matter what we did to it medicnes, creams, ect. Nothing worked. Then I was introduced to mangosteen juice. I was told to rub it on topically as well as have him drink a few ounces a day. Within a few days his worse spots were clearing and his light spots were gone. According to independent research, as long as you keep drinking the juice you will not have any flare ups. It does not get rid of it, but surpresses it and keeps it from manifesting. There have been times where we have run out and been out for 2-3 weeks at a time, but the flare ups have not returned. Hope this helps.
