Eczema can be described as an inflammatory condition of the skin with symptoms such as redness, swelling, blisters, itching and scratching and weeping. It has many causes, but the most common is a person's sensitivity to nickel. It can also be brought about by a person's genetic make-up, food and environmental allergies. Lastly, eczema can be treated with either traditional or through homeopathy. Food There is a wide belief that eczema is caused by Candida Albicans. Candida Albicans is classified as a diploid fungus, which is a form of yeast, and is an accepted causative agent of eczema and dermatitis. By eliminating yeast in your diet, (usually present in foods including: alcohol, vinegar, malt, chocolate and other fermented food) you can also eliminate eczema and other skin infection with the help of Nystatin which is an anti-yeast medication. Nickel in food is also believed to aggravate eczema. Foods such as: apricots, chocolates, coffee, tea and nuts should be consumed at a limit. Personal Care and the Environment The environment plays a big-factor in preventing, curing and easing the pain brought about by eczema. Every day things can aggravate the condition. Even dehumidified air during winter can worsen the disease. Here are some resolves to avoid aggravating eczema caused by environmental factors: Forced-air dries your skin and aggravates the itching. Having a humidifier will greatly help. Bathe in lukewarm water. Cold water can dry the skin, while hot water can soften the skin too much. Soap is also a no-no, but you can use grease including Eucerin, Keri, Lubriderm lotion or Moisturel to keep the moisture in the skin while cleaning it with soap. You can also use oatmeal as a soap substitute. Just prepare 2 cups of colloidal oatmeal into a tub of lukewarm water for a soothing treat. Clothes are also a factor. Synthetic, tight-fitting, and itchy fabric can aggravate eczema. Wearing cotton is advisable, and when washing clothes, be sure to rinse them thoroughly. Refrain from using artificial fingernails as the acrylics used to make these can cause dermatitis. Refrain from using antiperspirants because it has metallic salts and can cause irritation. If you really want to use these, look for the types that have anti-irritants like allantoinate, zinc oxide or triethanolamine. Refrain from using colored toilet paper. Dye from colored toilet paper can cause irritation. Eczema Natural Cures, OTC (Over-the-Counter) Ointments and Lotion Chamomile, with hazel and licorice gels and creams are known to reduce the itching and burning of the skin caused by eczema. Emollients with urea are good eczema-itch relievers. Calamine lotion is good for rashes that are oozing and needs drying out. 0.05% Hydrocortizone cream is good to ease the itching and inflammation. Try taking antihistamines to reduce the itching, though it can cause drowsiness and should be avoided if your driving or working with dangerous machinery. If ever you have a baby that has infantile eczema, avoid putting baby lotion on them as baby lotions have high water content and can dry the skin once evaporation takes place. To add, ingredients on baby lotions can cause further irritation. Use ointments or creams instead. Finally, consult your physician. There are other diseases such as Discoid Lupus Erythematosus that manifests itself with the symptoms similar to eczema that needs special attention.
