Successful experiences in the treatment of eczema

5:06 PM |


My little girl started getting eczema at 2 months and it continued to get much worse until she was covered in it, very stressful and upsetting. I discovered that she is allergic to dairy products and as soon as I stopped all dairy she was much better. At the time I was nursing her and I had to stop eating it as well.
I found out that eczema is often caused by either a food allergy or stress. It's not easy to find out if it's a food allergy as the only way to tell is to cut out all of the worst offenders until baby gets better and then slowly introduce foods back into her diet. I spoke with a dietician about food allergies.
It can also be caused by stress but that's not as likely with a small child unless there's a lot going on at home. I get a bit of eczema and I know it's when I'm stressed out about something.
I found that the best way to deal with it was to use a cortisone cream from the doctor to clear the skin then try to keep baby from getting another break out. My little girl scratched so much that she got a staph infection then had to go on antibiotics to get rid of it. Once the eczema is gone try to fend it off by keeping her well moisturized and not too hot. I went thru a lot of Aveeno! It gets worse in the summer with the heat so I had to try to keep her as cool as possible. On a mild patch a zinc cream like Penaten or Sudocream helps.
Things like harsh laundry detergents, soaps etc can irritate the skin too. My husband works in construction and would come home with drywall dust on his clothes. She was better when he would change shower and keep the clothes away from her. Now that she's older (3) all this stuff doesn't bug her anymore.
Some kids grow out of allergys or they get milder with age. Now she can tell me right away if something bugs her. She's also allergic to almonds and strawberries, poor baby!

My advice to everyone is suffering from eczema, which is in its infancy, before the situation gets worse than look for appropriate treatment before it is too late and so as not to suffer in the future.



PS do not read if you are a bit squeamish as I have used details that some may not be too keen on.

If I hear the words 'don't scratch' ever again I will scream, even though we know it is for our own good!!

Childhood=
Mostly it affected my face, leaving 2 huge blistery patches by my nose. In primary school I remember a teacher telling me to wipe the chocolate off my face, although of course my face was clean, it was pretty bad. I cannot really remembermuch about this stage of it although I remember Aqueous cream featuring heavily in my skincare!! I do not remember it affecting any other part of me at this stage.

Teenage years=
The burning sore patches by my nose liked to come and go but eventually disappeared sort of early teens probably thanks to various creams and maybe it cleared of its own accord.

The skin condition on my legs appeared on my legs as a teenager, to this date it is pretty much undiagnosed, it is a mix between eczema and folliculitis which I used to find very distressing especially with cruel comments in the summer when heaven forbid I inflicted my legs on the general public, 'spotty legs' is one that I remember the most, and amongst others, from this moment on I have rarely been able to have bare legs or sheer tights on.

Twenties=
Eczema appeared on the inside of my left elbow for some reason. You could actually see the splits in my skin often about a centimetre long, this was extremely painful and forced me to ditch my suits and blouses at work and start rolling my sleeves up at every opportunity to let it heal up. I cannot explain how bad it was feeling the pain of your skin splitting apart every minute of the day, this was my skin at its worst.

At the moment I can feel both elbows twinging and sore but they are not terrible, although I can see red spots and little splits so I will need to apply some Fucibet cream whichis the only cream that has ever worked for me out of the lots I have tried, hydrocortisone failed to cut it so I started using this and it is amazing.

By this time legs were peeing me off so much and were so painful I wanted to see a specialist but of course this never happened, Instead I attempted to cure it by wrapping them below the knee in bandages all day, but of course I could not use the medicated creams whilst doing this as it would have been bad for my skin and sometimes it stopped me from picking and scratching but often I would try and dig in to have a good old scratch. I got so sick of having blood stains on my clothes, knee high socks and bedlinen all the time.

My legs still cause me bother, especially when people commented and stared whilst abroad last year, one woman asked me how I'd managed to get so many mosquito bites when in reality I'd had none, not her fault she didn't know otherwise but it didn't do my confidence any good.

I am embarassed when I go swimming and sometimes the chlorine can hurt my legs, last year I went to Israel and the Dead Sea, big mistake, unfortunately the sea water absolutely crippled my legs, and was left burning for about an hour or 2 afterwards but didn't want to miss the opportunity.

Not sure if it will ever clear up but my legs are loads better apart from about 4 little areas, now if only I could stop scratching!!!

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

1:04 AM |

Atopic eczema is due to a hypersensitivity reaction (similar to an allergy) in the skin, which leads to long-term inflammation of the skin.

Eczema is most common in infants. Many people outgrow it by early adulthood. The condition tends to run in families.
People with eczema often have asthma or hay fever, too. There is often a family history of allergic conditions such as asthma, hay fever, or eczema.
The following can make eczema symptoms worse:
  • Allergies to pollen, mold, dust mites, or animals
  • Colds or the flu
  • Contact with rough materials
  • Dry skin
  • Exposure to environmental irritants
  • Exposure to water
  • Feeling too hot or too cold
  • Fragrances or dyes added to skin lotions or soaps
  • Stress

Symptoms

Typical skin changes may include:
  • Blisters with oozing and crusting
  • Ear discharge or bleeding
  • Raw areas of the skin from scratching
  • Skin coloring changes -- more or less coloring than the normal skin tone (See: Skin abnormally dark or light)
  • Skin redness or inflammation around the blisters
  • Thickened or leather-like areas, called lichenification, which can occur after long-term irritation and scratching
Both the type of rash and where the rash appears can depend on the age of the patient:
  • In children younger than age 2, skin lesions begin on the face, scalp, hands, and feet. It is often a crusting, bubbling, or oozing rash.
  • In older children and adults, the rash is more commonly seen on the inside of the knees and elbows, as well as the neck, hands, and feet.
  • During a severe outbreak, rashes may occur anywhere on the body.
Itching, which is sometimes intense, almost always occurs. Itching may start even before the rash appears.

Signs and tests

Diagnosis is primarily based on:
  • Appearance of the skin
  • Personal and family history
The health care provider should examine the lesions to rule out other possible causes. A skin lesion biopsy may be performed, but is not always needed to make the diagnosis.
Allergy skin testing may be helpful for people with:
  • Difficult-to-treat eczema
  • Other allergy symptoms

Treatment

SKIN CARE AT HOME
Taking care of your skin at home may reduce the need for medications.
Avoid scratching the rash or skin if you can:
  • Relieve the itch by using a cold compress and taking antihistamines to reduce severe itching.
  • Keep your child's fingernails cut short. Consider light gloves if nighttime scratching is a problem.
Keep the skin moist (called lubricating or moisturizing the skin). Use ointments (such as petroleum jelly), creams, or lotions 2 - 3 times a day. Moisturizers should be free of alcohol, scents, dyes, fragrances, or other chemicals. A humidifier in the home will also help.
Avoid anything that makes your symptoms worse. This may include:
  • Foods such as eggs in a very young child (always discuss with your doctor first)
  • Irritants such as wool and lanolin
  • Strong soaps or detergents, as well as chemicals and solvents
  • Sudden changes in body temperature and stress, which may cuase sweating and worsen the condition
  • Triggers that cause allergy symptoms
When washing or bathing:
  • Keep water contact as brief as possible and use less soap than usual. Short, cooler baths are better then long, hot baths.
  • Do not scrub or dry the skin too hard or for too long.
  • After bathing, it is important to apply lubricating creams, lotions, or ointment on the skin while it is damp. This will help trap moisture in the skin.
MEDICATIONS
Antihistamines taken by mouth may help with itching or if you have allergies. Often you can buy them without a prescription.
  • Some antihistamines can cause sleepiness, but they may help with scratching while sleeping.
  • Newer antihistamines cause little or no sleepiness. Some are available over the counter. These medications include fexofenadine (Allegra), loratadine (Claritin, Alavert), and cetirizine (Zyrtec).
Most causes of atopic eczema are treated with medications that are placed directly on the skin or scalp (called topical medicines):
  • At first, you will probably be prescribed a mild cortisone (or steroid) cream or ointment. If this doesn't work, you may need a stronger steroid medicine. You may need different strengths of steroids for different areas of skin.
  • Medicines called topical immunomodulators (TIMs) may be prescribed for anyone over 2 years old. TIMs include tacrolimus (protopic) and pimecrolimus (Elidel). Ask your doctor about concerns over a possible cancer risk with the use of these medicines.
  • Creams or ointments that contain coal tar or anthralin may be used for thickened areas.
  • Barrier repair creams containing ceramides
Other medicines that may be used include:
  • Oral or injected corticosteroids when the eczema is severe
  • Antibiotic creams or pills if the skin is infected
  • Allergy shots (immunotherapy)
  • Oral immunosuppressants, such as cyclosporine, methotrexate, or mycophenolate mofetil

Expectations (prognosis)

Eczema is a chronic condition, but you can control it with treatment, by avoiding irritants, and by keeping the skin well-moisturized.
In children, it often clears beginning around age 5 - 6, but flareups will often occur. In adults, it is generally a long-term or recurring condition.
People with eczema tend to have dry skin that flares up more in the winter, when the air is cold and dry.

Complications

  • Infections of the skin caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses
  • Permanent scars

Calling your health care provider

Call for an appointment with your health care provider if:
  • Eczema does not respond to moisturizers or avoiding allergens
  • Symptoms worsen or treatment is ineffective
  • You have signs of infection (such as fever, redness, pain)

Prevention

Studies have shown that children who are breast-fed until age 4 months are less likely to get eczema.
If the child is not breast-fed, using a formula that contains processed cow milk protein (called partially hydrolyzed formula) may decrease the chances of developing eczema.
Eczema tends to run in families.
Keeping the skin well-moisturized and avoiding irritants is important.

Eczema is a skin condition that, although non-contagious, can ruin the clarity of your skin.

There are several kinds of eczema; three of the major types are the following:
1. Atopic eczema or also known as atopic dermatitis. It is the kind of eczema that is inherited and characterized by inflammation of the skin, along with skin dryness and persistent itchiness. Scratching the affected skin area only worsens the eczema as it leads to bacterial infection.
2. Contact eczema or contact dermatitis is triggered by various substances, biological or chemical, that come in contact with the skin, with the latter reacting negatively to these substances. It is characterized by skin edema as well as blistering that later allows crust formation.
3. Seborrheic eczema is often seen in individuals with dandruff. An individual with this type of eczema has large erythematic patches that show in the scalp, chest, or face. Men are more prone to this type of eczema.
