The most common form of childhood eczema is
atropic dermatitis which affects
as many as 15-20% of young children. It is often linked with asthma
and hayfever and may be genetic.
Eczema is very irritating, the itching can become almost unbearable
and it is very hard to prevent a young child from scratching.
Keep their fingernails short and at night time ensure that they are
not overheating. If you can persuade them to keep mittens on this
may help prevent scratching. If your child does develop eczema you should visit your physican to confirm that it is not another skin disorder. Mild attacks of eczema may only need taking care of the sensitive skin, but if your child has a serious flare-up the doctor may prescribe medication or refer him to a dermatologist. There is no cure for eczema but with care it is possible to control it.
Eczema Treatment CreamI have found one remedy that works for the little girl shown above who was suffering so badly that her arms and legs were bleeding. It is a herbal cream that is available on Ebay and although it is a small pot it lasts for a long time. I found that after applying the cream for a week, the eczema cleared and if it reoccurs it is quickly treated. I originally bought two pots that lasted a year. Certainly worth a try if other remedies are not working. The supplier is based in the UK and you can purchase it through ebay.co.uk. Please see below. She also ships to the US and it is available at Ebay.com.Childhood Eczema - Its Causes And Symptoms © 2006 |
