Eczema Gone

by Conor Lenihan

Eczema is a skin condition that affects the lives of many people, it can be quite distressing as it can affect your physical appearance. Before the condition can be successfully treated, it is important to firstly establish the causes of the condition. Treating the symptoms will do nothing if the underlying causes remain, all problems no matter what they are should be tackled at the root.

A huge number of people all over the world suffer from the effects of eczema. The itchy skin and uncomfortable feeling created by eczema are very common. In this article I want to discuss what causes eczema and how you can treat it naturally.

Eczema Causes

Eczema sufferers often are also prone to delicate skin that is susceptible to irritation from outside factors. Eczema can be caused or at least be aided by skin irritations. This skin irritation can be caused by something like rough clothing or towels, as well as by temperature changes and harsh soaps and cleansing products. Even sweating as a result of hot temperatures or working out can bring on eczema

Bad Diet. Its commonly thought that foods which are high in acidity are bad for Eczema, something in that acid can make it flare up very badly. Unfortunately, some kinds of acid have been proven to be very good for Eczema, so it can be tough to see what food to avoid and what to stock up on. The best bet is probably to visit a good dietician, they may even me able to prepare some meal plans for you.

Eczema Natural Treatment

Using Vitamin E can also be a very good Eczema Natural treatment. Vitamin E contains substances that assist in the body’s natural ability to heal itself. One product that contains Vitamin E is flax oil that can help the skin and also act as a form of anti-inflammatory to reduce swollen skin caused by Eczema.

Another way to treat infections caused by Eczema is Neem, using this natural treatment product can help heal sores that are caused by excessive scratching on the skin. Neem is an evergreen plant that can be used as a poultice on the skin to prevent infections reoccurring.

Musk melon is one of the most effective remedies for eczema. Eat only musk melons three times a day for forty days or more. In the beginning only 3 kilos of musk melons should be taken daily for 3 days. The quantity should be increased by 1 kg daily till the appetite is catered for. Use only sweet and fresh fruit of the best variety to treat eczema.

Add 2-3 teaspoon of turmeric powder to water and boil it at low flame. Remove it from heat and allow it cool a little. Wash the eczema affected area with this solution. You can also replace turmeric with margosa (neem) leaves.

If you are not sure whether you have eczema or not, you should do a little research first. I recommend reviewing what is available on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eczema

Eczema is difficult for children to deal with, still the good news is that many children grow out of eczema. Statistics demonstrate by their teens almost 75 percent of children grow out of their eczema. What follows is a few tips to help you with your child’s eczema. I hope you find it useful.

Ask Your pediatrician for advice. Maybe obvious but should be number one, very important!
Develop a bedtime routine — If you’re the parent of a child with eczema you know that children can often have problems sleeping because their skin can get hotter and itchier at night. Keep your child’s bedroom cool and use cotton sheets.
Some kids have a tendency to scratch in their sleep, this kind of uncontrolled scratching can be really damaging to the skin and even leave scars on the body and face — keep childrens nails short and filed.

Apply moisturizer 25 minutes before bedtime to allow the skin to absorb and metabolize it. Keep pets out of the room and attempt to keep allergens to a minimum where your child sleeps. Allergens, dust, and mold can cause severe eczema flares.

Wash the baby with a good soap (this goes for your self too) — the wrong soap can cause skin to DRY OUT, and this leads to eczema flares. Johnson’s tear free products are good, also Dove soaps w/cream and cetaphil (google cetaphil soap) are good for preventing eczema flares from soap. Bath your baby once or twice a week, and clean your baby’s face, hands and bottom daily.
Keep your baby’s skin moisturized. A good tip — try mixing organic cold pressed coconut oil in with the lotion you’ve chosen for your child. The coconut oil is high in vitamin E which is like skin food, it helps the skin repair itself through the body’s natural process.
Monitor your baby’s diet — Eczema usually starts at around 6 months, and does not normally result from the introduction of new foods. However, sugar is known to cause inflammation and eczema flares, it is important to monitor the amount of sugar (especially processed/refined sugar) in your baby’s diet.
Your baby is still developing and it’s body is identifying what foods and allergens that are not harmful, however, it is possible that your child is allergic to some foods, if you consistently notice an eczema flare up after your child eats a certain food try to isolate precisely what that food is and consult your pediatrician. Eczema can be triggered by foods in about 10 percent of children.

My child got eczema from me, as it does not run on my husband’s side of the family. I was a bit distraught when I found that my baby had eczema, but I was glad that I had experience with it, and I knew I would be able to help more effectively. I was tired of dealing with my eczema and trying to find a permanent treatment to help my self, and all of a sudden I found out that my baby had eczema too. Eventually I found a treatment that I decided to use for my self. One night during a flare-up I was browsing online, and I decided to throw dollars at this problem. I was surprised at how useful what I learned from this book had been.
