New Cure for Excessive Sweating Could Boost Your Work Productivity

www.preventsweating.com

A new study has confirmed what has already long been considered truth by many - that suffering from excessive sweating can negatively impact a person’s work performance.

According to the International Hyperhidrosis Society, a recent study presented at the American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting in San Francisco indicates that employees suffering from hyperhidrosis "were limited in performing physically demanding tasks 25% of the time, in mental and interpersonal tasks 20% of the time, in time management 17% of the time, and in work output 11% of the time."

The study goes on to say that "these rates of workplace limitations are similar to those experienced by workers suffering from depression, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis." The study estimated overall work productivity loss due to hyperhidrosis is "4.9%."

Luckily for the estimated 8 million Americans currently suffering from hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, Mike Ramsey (himself a hyperhidrosis sufferer) has just published book detailing a simple three-step, all-natural plan that is designed to stop excessive underarm sweating in two weeks or less.

In "Stop Sweating and Start Living" Ramsey fully describes his practical and unique treatment approach that permanently gets rid of a person's excessive underarm sweat problem – naturally and without side effects.

So far the treatment plan has proven to be effective for 96% of those who have tried it, Ramsey said.

Ramsey's process is made up of three simple steps, takes less than 30 seconds a day to complete and relies on readily available and inexpensive products.

Ramsey says that the process is easy to incorporate into your morning or evening routine, and guarantees that it will keep a person's underarm sweat problem away for the rest of their life!

Like many others with hyperhidrosis, Ramsey first began suffering from it in high school and over the years has tried just about every treatment he could think of to get rid of it or at least keep it under control: from using dozens of different antiperspirants to applying antiperspirants several times a day to wearing undershirts to soak up the sweat before it reached his outer shirt to changing clothes several times a day to holding his arms up in the car so that they were aligned with the air conditioner vents to using a device that pushes electrical currents through the skin and much, much more.

'At the time that I came up with this cure, I was working in an office eight to ten hours a day where I was surrounded by and interacted with colleagues continuously,' Ramsey said. 'In this environment, I was constantly concerned about my underarms -- a distraction that caused me to lose hours of productivity every week. My self-esteem and self-confidence, which were already low, plummeted even further.'

Ramsey went on to say. 'After years of pain and struggle, using the method I created I was able to cure my excessive sweat problem naturally in just two weeks, and was finally able to start living worry-free again.'

'This technique has proven to be highly practical, safe and effective and it’s worked quickly for me and for hundreds of other people who have read my book and tried it,' Ramsey said.

Man Discovers Remedy for Excessive Sweating Problem That Plagues Nearly 8 Million Americans Today

www.preventsweating.com

Mike Ramsey, who began suffering from excessive sweating, also called hyperhidrosis, in high school, has published an ebook detailing a simple three-step plan that when followed allows anyone to cure their excessive sweating problem in two weeks or less.

"It’s true," said Ramsey, author of "Stop Sweating and Start Living: A Practical Guide to Ending Your Underarm Sweat Problem." "At last, there's an effective way for anyone to cure their underarm sweat problem - in just two weeks - without prescription drugs or risky surgery."

Ramsey’s method is a three-step, all-natural technique that he developed after attending a seminar on natural health.

"The technique is highly practical, safe and effective, it takes just a minute a day to perform and can be easily worked into anyone’s daily routine," said Ramsey.

Ramsey's discovery comes on the heels of new research that indicates nearly 8 million Americans - almost 3 percent of the U.S. population - routinely suffer from excessive sweating, a figure higher than previously believed.

"We're not talking about people who sweat a lot after a good workout," Ramsey said. "These are adults who while sitting at their desk in a cool office, sweat through their T-shirt, their shirt, and maybe even their jacket. These are teenagers who avoid going to dances and parties and on dates because they are afraid to be seen dripping in sweat. These are children who continually drop their bottles or sippy cups because their sweaty palms won’t allow them to maintain a good grip."

What is hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that causes people to sweat excessively in specific areas -- their underarms, face, palms, or the soles of their feet.

Ramsey's technique works specifically for the underarms.

"After years of struggle with hyperhidrosis, during which time I avoided potential socially awkward situations like dates and parties, I discovered the real reason for my underarm sweat problem … and after two weeks of self-treatment I cured it," Ramsey said. "In fact, in the 10 years since, I have never been self-conscious about raising my arms in public. I have never worn an undershirt to soak-up my sweat, and I have never had a sweaty armpit (except during intense physical exercise)."

In an effort to help others who suffer from hyperhidrosis, Ramsey explains exactly how he was able to cure his excessive sweating problem on the pages of “Stop Sweating and Start Living."

"In this ebook, readers will learn exactly how I, and others who have used my system, stopped underarm sweat for life," Ramsey said.

As Heat Wave Sears U.S., New Remedy Keeps Those With Sweating Problems Dry and Comfortable

www.preventsweating.com

For the more than 8 million Americans who suffer from Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, the current heat wave that is setting record temperatures across the country is a nightmare come true.

Fortunately, for the many Hyperhidrosis sufferers who experience excessive underarm sweat there is now a cure available that won’t just put an end to their embarrassing condition, it will keep it from ever returning again.

The cure was discovered by Mike Ramsey, who began suffering from Hyperhidrosis in high school. Before coming up with his cure, Ramsey tried every possible remedy he could find with no success.

“I tried more than a dozen types of antiperspirants,” Ramsey said. “I tried applying antiperspirants several times a day. I wore undershirts to soak up the sweat before it reached my outer shirt. When one undershirt wasn’t enough, I tried wearing two undershirts. When I was in my car (alone) I would hold up my arms, aligning them with the air conditioner vents, allowing cold air to flow up my sleeve to cool and dry my armpits. When sitting at my desk I tried to keep my arms away from my sides so that my shirt had less contact with my underarms and wouldn’t soak in the sweat so quickly. I took showers morning and night. Sometimes I would come home during lunch to shower as well.

“I wore oversized shirts for better ventilation and to keep my underarms from contacting my shirt. (This didn’t work because the sweat would just drip down to my sides and create wet marks near my waistline),” Ramsey continued. “I brought clean undershirts to work and changed several times daily. I purchased a device that pushes electric currents through your skin and supposedly stops underarm sweat for a period. I never found out whether it worked or not because it was incredibly uncomfortable to use, and I knew this was not the solution to my problem."

Ramsey was about to give up hope of ever being rid of his embarrassing condition when he and his wife attended a fateful seminar on natural health.

“The seminar actually didn’t have anything to do with excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis,” Ramsey said. “But what the speaker said got me to thinking and soon led to my discovery.”

Ramsey’s discovery was practical and unique treatment approach that permanently gets rid of a person’s excessive underarm sweat problem – naturally and without side effects.

Ramsey’s process, which he details in his new ebook, “Stop Sweating and Start Living: A Practical Guide to Ending Your Underarm Sweat Problem,” is made up of three simple steps, takes about 30 seconds a day to complete and relies on readily available and inexpensive products. According to Ramsey’s latest statistics, the method has proven effective for 96 percent of those who have tried it.

Ramsey adds that the process is easy for a person to incorporate into their morning or evening routine, and he personally guarantees that it will keep a person’s underarm sweat problem away for the rest of their life.

So while Californians are sweltering in a heat wave that has set records across the state … while power outages in St Louis and New York City have residents scrambling to find relief from high temperatures … and while usual havens from the heat, such as San Francisco, see record hot temperatures … there remains hope for hyperhidrosis sufferers everywhere.

“At last, there’s an effective way for anyone to cure their underarm sweat problem - in just two weeks - without prescription drugs or risky surgery,” Ramsey said.

Avoid The Causes Of Eczema and Beat It For Good

Eczema is caused more by several different factors, each one increasing the discomfort level until the threshold is reached and you are in a full blown itching attack, ripping your poor skin to shreds. Fear not though, if you take the time to learn how to understand and recognize these factors, you can significantly reduce the impact that the condition can have on your life. Check out my tips below to get the better of Eczema today.

The #1 Cause of Increased Eczema Discomfort-
Dry Skin. A lot of people will argue this point, stating that that the dry skin is a simple symptom of the Eczema. This may be true, but think about it for a second-what’s the most irritating thing about Eczema, the thing that causes most discomfort? The itching right? Well if you can combat that dry skin, you can go a long way to beating the itch too. The key is to keep it moisturized. Moisturize at least twice a day, preferably after bathing or showering. Dab yourself down with the towel, and apply the moisturizer to damp skin. This will help lock the moisture from the bath into your skin.

The #2 Cause of Increased Eczema Discomfort-
Ignorance toward diet. Most people have no idea how much your diet can affect your skin and the condition of it. To put it plainly, if you aren’t giving your skin the right nutrients, it can’t heal itself, so your Eczema will only get worse.
Foods that are high in acidity are often blamed for exacerbating the Eczema condition, there is something in the acid in some foods which reacts very badly.

The #3 Cause of Increased Eczema Discomfort-
Scents. Silly as it sounds, the perfuming agents in many detergents/soaps etc has awful effects on your eczema. Have you noticed that sometimes nothing can irritate your skin more than having it brush up against your clothing all day? This is most often due to the scenting agents in the clothing. If you can change over to unscented soaps, detergents, shampoos etc, you will most likely find your clothing is suddenly more comfortable for you.


The #4 Cause of Increased Eczema Discomfort-
Clothing itself. We already mentioned the damaged that scented clothing can have, but did you know that just your clothing alone can prove to be pretty formidable? Most Eczema patients have no idea that sometimes when they experience a worsening of the condition, it can be down to the very clothing they are wearing. Certain fabrics can be a real curse. As a general guide, avoid anything woolen or obviously itchy, and try to wear 100% cotton clothing as often as possible.www.beateczema.com

Beat Your Eczema Skin Condition Now & Reclaim Your Life

Are you a sufferer of Eczema? If so it may surprise you to know that you can gain considerable relief from it just by a few changes to your everyday lifestyle. I’ve laid out some tips below, so put them into place today to start getting ahead!

Moisturize-A lot!
Many people will say the worst part of Eczema is the itching. Well here’s some news, if you keep your skin moisturized enough you can all but eliminate that pesky itch. The key is to moisturize regularly, and at the correct times. Ideally, twice a day after bathing or showering would be perfect. The reason it’s done after bathing is so you can seal some of the moisture from the bath or shower into your skin. To do this, lightly dab yourself with a very soft towel, leaving the skin slightly damp, then apply the moisturizer directly to the damp skin. It’s a little tougher to work it all in, but it’s certainly worth the extra effort.

Improve Your Diet!
Your diet and the food you eat play a huge role in how Eczema is able to attack your body. In short, if you are able to eat more of the foods that aid regeneration of your skin, your skin will be able to regenerate better, and this extra regeneration can really help eliminate your Eczema. As a general rule for this, big salads with lots of greenery are very good. Also, bear in mind that foods with a high acid content have been directly linked to increased Eczema. It’s well worth seeing a dietician to get some tips on how to reduce this, and even taking some supplements to reduce or neutralize this. Kelp supplements can be perfect, as they are very high in alkali and will neutralize the acid very naturally.

Be Smart-
Many people amaze me by complaining about Eczema and then doing all the things they shouldn’t do, all the time making it worse. You can beat Eczema by being smart. Avoid itchy clothing-woolens are definitely out, and try to find clothing only of the softest 100% cotton. Also avoid perfumes and scents of any kind, especially applied directly to the skin. It’s also possible for the scenting agents in your detergents and toiletries to have a negative effect, so you may want to take the time to find some natural products which are not scented.

Take care of your skin!
Keep your skin well hydrated all the time, by drinking plenty of water. If you are going to be in the sun, use plenty of the appropriate strength sunblock. It sounds obvious, but carrying a small bottle of sunblock with you at all time can prevent those “accidental” sunburn occasions, which can obviously have terrible consequences with Eczema.

You really can find some great Eczema relief if you apply the tips above. Eczema is a real curse in anyone’s life, but fighting back and fighting smart can have some real benefits.www.beateczema.com

Beat Your Eczema Skin Disease Now

Eczema is very common these days, and there are millions of suffers all over the world. It’s worse for some than others, some people don’t even know they have it, while others are living lives that are permanently altered because of it. You’ll find some tips below that will help you get some relief, no matter how badly you have the condition.

Use Coconut Oil-
Many people would have you believe these days that coconut oil is just about the healthiest thing in the whole world. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but there are certainly many benefits being reported by eczema sufferers. Coconut oil contains something called Lauric Acid, which is only found in one other place-human breast milk. The human and soothing qualities of this substance are pretty powerful-apply coconut oil to the areas affected by Eczema, and you will see exactly how powerful it can be.

Bathing-
If you suffer from Eczema, one of the most important things is to keep the area clean and free from bacteria, dust etc. Nothing does this better than bathing or showering regularly, some specialist recommend it as often as twice a day. This can work wonders, but you have to take extra care, as the constant washing away of the skin’s natural oils will result in drier skin, which is in turn prone to increased Eczema intensity. This leads to the next point…

Moisturize-
As we said, drier skin is much more prone to Eczema, and this is because it is less flexible so will often crack and flake, especially areas around our joints. The key to avoiding and preventing this is to moisturize regularly. If you can do it after bathing, all the better. Applying the moisturizer to damp skin is excellent as it will allow some of the moisture to stay sealed into your skin.

Diet-
You are what you eat. Sound familiar? The food we eat is the fuel our body uses for every single process, including healing and fixing skin. You can run your car on coca cola and beef burgers can you? Well your body struggles to run with that kind of fuel just as much. It’s thought that foods with very acidic content can cause an increase in Eczema symptoms, but this can create complications, as many very good foods are high in acid-fish, tomatoes etc. The best way to combat this is to see a dietician and get some meal plans custom made for you. You can also combat the acid by taking kelp supplements-these are very high in alkali, and can neutralize the acids in your system.

Eczema is truly a nightmare for many people, but it really doesn’t need to be. In most cases, if you take some time and apply some intelligence, you can see real benefits. Hopefully these guides will provide you with some benefit.www.beateczema.com

Can a Natural Eczema Treatment Help You?

If you’ve done the rounds of skin experts and dermatologists and still found no relief, maybe it’s time you turned to some more natural Eczema remedies? I’ve put together a few tips here that will help you experience some relief from your condition.

Learn To Like Blueberries.
Ok well maybe that’s not so necessary. Eczema experts have found that there is something in Blueberry leaves called chlorogenic acid, and this acid can have excellent effects on your Eczema. In short, it uses completely natural means to remove the microbes from your skin which cause the itching and discomfort. It’s also an excellent natural anti inflammatory, so when you apply it to the affected area you will really notice the benefit. You should be able to find some kind of blueberry leaf extract in your local wellness store.

Get A Moisturization Habit-
Anyone with Eczema should keep their skin moisturized as often as they can. It’s as simple as that. Your skin is a lot less prone to itching and cracking if it is soft and supple, and moisturization is the key to this. At least twice a day, and if possible after bathing. You want to do it after bathing or a shower so the moisturizer can lock the moisture from the bath into your skin. You may also find that you get by better if you can find an unscented moisturizer.

Get Some Vitamin E-
Vitamin E is a very powerful natural antioxidant. Applied to the affected areas, it can remove all traces of dirt/bacteri/anything else that may otherwise have the effect of worsening your symptoms.

Hopefully, if you’ve been at the end of your tether after getting nowhere with the Doctors and specialists, these tips may bring you some relief. The key is to actually take some action and be consistent with it. If you apply these tip consistently, you can see considerable relief.www.beateczema.com

Care For Your Eczema Better With These Skin Care Tips

Many Eczema sufferers are unaware that sometimes good skin care regimes are all that stands between endless suffering and an improved quality of life. The simplest of changes and techniques can make all the difference, so I have put together a few tips to hopefully help you out.

Fix Your Diet-
There’s a whole lot more to skincare than just fancy creams and lotions. Real skin care starts on the inside-if you give your body the tools it needs to fix the Eczema damaged skin, you will have a definite advantage. Continuing to eat the wrong foods while trying to clear up your Eczema is like trying to run your car without gasoline! It just can’t get going! Scientists have found that foods with high acidity are linked to increased Eczema symptoms. For some reason high acid content makes the skin more prone to irritation, which of course brings on the Eczema. You can avoid this by obviously steering clear of acidy foods, which is easier than it sounds. A dietician should be able to steer you the right way though. Fear not though, there is a much simpler way to improve this too-kelp supplements. Kelp is very high in alkali, which will neutralize the acid it finds in your system, so you may find relief there.

Moisturize Regularly-
You need to get into a habit of moisturizing your skin at least twice a day, preferably after taking a bath or shower. This is great for your skin because the more moisture there is inside it, the suppler it will be, and obviously soft supple skin is far less likely to crack and itch than dry flaky skin. The reason you need to apply the moisturizer after bathing or showering is because this will help lock in the moisture from the bath. You should pat yourself almost dry with a very soft towel, and then apply the moisturizer to damp skin. It’s a little harder to rub in, but it’s worth it in the long run!

Protect Yourself-
Be aware of all the things than can trigger your Eczema, and do your best to avoid them. As a general rule, avoid wearing any kind of perfume or scent, as well as all scented soaps or toiletries. You will also probably find a little relief if you can get rid of all the perfumed detergents in your home. If you can wash your clothing in unscented natural detergents you will probably find that your clothing is suddenly not so itchy!

As I’ve tried to illustrate here, you don’t have to go to huge lengths to get some control in the battle against your eczema. In most cases all you need is common sense and some consistency. I hope these tips bring you some relief, but remember to be consistent!www.beateczema.com

Cure Eczema For Your Baby

You don’t need me to tell you how painful it is to see your little baby struggling with Eczema. It’s not only a tough time for the little one, but it can be real hard on the parents too, with them often not knowing where to turn or who to go to for help. I have put together some simple tips here, so that if you find yourself in that situation you may actually be able to help the little one!

Get New Bedding-
Just like with an adult Eczema sufferer, the wrong fabrics in any circumstance can really make things worse, but imagine how it would feel if you were a baby and swaddled head to in fabric for most of the day, and yet were unable to tell people how bad it made you feel?
To prevent poor baby having to go through this, there are a few things you can do you. Firstly, make sure all bedding is 100% very soft cotton, and also cleaned regularly. If it’s not cleaned very very regularly, tiny bacteria will build up, and it’s these bacteria which will cause the itching in baby’s skin. Also, make sure that the detergents used are perfume free-the perfuming agents can wreak havoc with skin, so it’s best to avoid them altogether.

Bathe Baby Regularly-
This is the most common cure for Eczema in babies. It’s been suggested that baby should be bathed at least once per day, twice if at all possible. Obviously the temperature of the water needs to be correct to prevent baby getting a chill. The bathing will help reduce the amount of bacteria and microbes attacking baby’s skin, which should in turn reduce the Eczema symptoms.

Keep Baby’s skin Moisturized-
Most adult Eczema sufferers will tell you that keeping their skin moisturized brings them great relief. Well, then it follows that this is also a good idea for baby right? The problem with Eczema in babies is that  Eczema is worsened when the sufferer experiences stress. As the baby doesn’t know what the itch is or why it’s happening, it is a truly stressful time, which in turn makes the itch worse, which increases the stress, and so on. It’s a vicious cycle for your poor little one.
You can relief much of this stress by moisturizing baby directly after bathing. Supple skin is less prone to itching, and the more moisture content in the skin, the suppler it is. It’s best dab baby dry with a very soft towel, and apply a suitable moisturizer directly to the damp skin. This will help lock the moisture from the bath into the skin, increasing the effect.

It’s truly difficult to find a reliable cure for baby eczema, but hopefully these tips will help you give some relief to your little one.www.beateczema.com

Eczema : When You Feel The Itch...Unwind!

Increased stress at school, home, and at work can take its toll on your physical, emotional and psychological well-being.  It can cause you to feel extremely fatigued and can make your skin act up.  Acne breakouts occur when pores become clogged. Still, it is not always acne that we should be worried about.  Red, irritated, and itchy skin can be an eczema in the offing.
Eczema is a common skin irritation characterized by reddening of the skin which sometimes appear as small, oozing, fluid-filled bumps.  There are many forms of eczema, but atopic eczema is one of the most common and severe.  There is no exact known cause for eczema but doctors believe that skin allergies and the way a person's immune system reacts to things may be involved in the formation of eczema.
Eczema is not contagious but scientists believe that some are predisposed to this skin condition if their parents or close family relatives also have eczema and allergies like hay fever or asthma. Some people who develop eczema are also allergic to cow's milk, soy, eggs, fish, or wheat. Allergies to animal dander, rough fabrics, and dust may also trigger the condition in some people.
People who are under severe stress may find it difficult to avoid all the triggers, or irritants, that cause or worsen eczema flare-ups.  These itchy patches of eczema may affect any part of the body but are usually seen where the elbow bends, on the backs of the knees, ankles, wrists, face, neck, and upper chest.
Eczema flare-up may feel hot and itchy at first, prompting the person to scratch it. Continuous scratching will eventually make the patch turn red, inflamed, and blistered.  When heavily scratched, the skin becomes almost leathery in texture. Others find that their skin becomes extremely dry and scaly.
Atopic eczema can easily be confused with a skin condition called contact dermatitis, which happens when the skin comes in contact with an irritating substance like the perfume in a certain detergent.  Dermatologists usually conduct physical examination and inquire about your medical history, your family's health history, and the medications you have been taking in order to make proper diagnosis.  Since emotional stress can also lead to eczema flare-ups, your doctor might also inquire about any problems you might be having at school, home, or work.
Treatment can be in the form of creams and ointments that help soothe the redness and irritation. Some anti-eczema medications are taken orally.  In cases of severe eczema, ultraviolet light therapy can help clear up the condition.
Eczema cannot be cured but its symptoms can be managed. However, there are many ways to prevent a possible eczema flare up.  Use only nondrying facial cleanser or soap substitute for facial eczema.  This will keep facial skin from being irritated.  A non-comedogenic/oil-free facial moisturizer can also help ease the dryness and itchiness cause by eczema. Try not to apply make-up or use only hypoallergenic makeup and sunscreens.
Furthermore, try to avoid substances that may stress your skin such as housesehold cleaners, drying soaps, detergents, and fragranced lotions.  It is possible that too much exposure to water can dry out your skin.  A brief shower with warm water is advised but it may be advisable to wear gloves if your hands will be in water for long periods of time. Pat your skin dry gently and thoroughly.  Do not rub with a coarse towel which can irritate the condition.  Remember, it isn't the water that causes your skin to react; it's the water evaporating if not dried soon enough. Wear clothes made from cotton fabrics.  Avoid scratchy fabrics like wool which can irritate the skin.  Do not scratch no matter how itchy it gets.  Scratching can worsen the eczema and cause breaks in the skin which could lead to bacterial infections.
Although there is no cure yet for eczema, it usually clears up by the time you reach the age of 25.  In the meantime, learn to manage the condition by avoiding anything that will trigger it.  Since stress can trigger eczema, find time to unwind and relax.  Engage in different activities that will set your mind off from the itch.

Eczema - Instigator The Itch

Skin irritation skin disorder skin ailment, call it what you like but eczema is an eruption of the skin causing pain and suffering to millions worldwide. Eczema comes in many different forms. One of the most common is the type suffered by babies and children called atopic eczema.
Eczema is a skin complaint which can maliciously cover the whole body.  Dry patches of scaly crusted scabby like clusters mounded in a clump or red pimply like sores are just a few to mention of how eczema displays its self on the skin (not in all cases) severity of this nature most definitely needs medical attention and the reason is because if unattended the sufferer gets to prolong their agony by scratching. After an attack on the skin with fingernails expect the infected area to become wet after the oozing clear fluid which sometimes consists of specks of blood settles around the open pierced skin

A skin complaint like eczema can flare up at any time through a number of reasons. As the years pass us by our skin starts to thin and becomes drier thus contributing to vulnerability of eczema affecting us in the ripe old years. Then we have allergies developed from exposure to things we find that does not agree with the skin hence allergic reactions.

The instigator behind why the scratching takes place is the distressing symptom (The Itch) a patient does more harm than good by scrawbing away at the flesh seeking contentment in easing the itch. Damage done by scratching can result in an open wound prone to infection.

Some types of eczema can be surrounded by a redness which changes colour e.g. from bright red to barely showing at all. Because eczema is normally dry and scaly it prevents and reduces the quality of the skin and its performance in doing what nature intended and that being is to protect against heat cold and all forms of bacterial infections.

Medical treatment is advisable in every type of eczema whether it mild or severe. Hospital admissions have been imminent in some cases where the human body has been ravished by this complaint or where infection has set in after a fingernail beheads a pimply spot.
The largest organ weighing in at approx four kilograms is the skin. A great many people are unaware and intend to ignore the skin and its needs. The skin like any other part of the body needs attention. The hair is nourished with conditioner the teeth with toothpaste so why not the skin. This coverage of about two square metres covering the human body has to stand up to appalling weather conditions/bumps/knocks and itching.

Remember the skin is your border line with the environment which is not in the very best of health at the moment. So while environmental friendly activists fight a good cause to stamp out pollution then please protect the skin.www.beateczema.com

Eczema And The Control Of This Skin Condition

Eczema is an inflammatory, chronic, noncontagious disease of the skin caused by allergy and hypersensitivity. The term is loosely used to include many skin conditions more properly included under dermatitis. Eczema is characterized by a number of cutaneous lesions, such as macules, papules, pustules, vesicles, scales, and crusts.

Macules are nonelevated skin spots. Papules are hard, circular, and elevated. Pustules are papular like lesions that contain pus, and vesicles are small skin blisters that contain fluid. Eczematous lesions are usually accompanied by an exudation of serous fluid and by intense itching. One-third to one-half of all cutaneous conditions are eczematous.

There is no known cure for eczema, but new treatments are helping people to manage, and even prevent flares, better than ever before. Treatment is most effective when people with eczema work closely with a physician, preferably a dermatologist, who will customize a treatment approach based on the person's age, symptoms, and overall health. With the right treatment, most flares can be brought under control in less than three weeks.

In more severe cases of eczema, where other treatments have failed, systemic steroids may be used. Instead of applying the steroidal medication to the top of the skin, it is injected into the body, or taken in pill form. These medications should only be used for a short time.

Side effects can include skin damage, weakened bones, high blood sugar and/or blood pressure, infections, and cataracts. It is also dangerous to stop systemic corticosteroids abruptly, and patients must work closely with a doctor when changing doses or stopping treatment.

Antibiotics can be prescribed by a doctor to treat secondary infections associated with eczema. Medications used to fight infection can come in ointment or pill form and are taken for a set period of time.

Sedating antihistamines, which are best to take at bedtime, can help ease severe itching associated with eczema, and help restless sleepers and "scratchers" to sleep. The sedating antihistamines are more effective at relieving itching than the newer, non-sedating antihistamines, but these drugs cause drowsiness, and can affect an adult's ability to work and think, and childrens' ability to learn if taken during the day.

Phototherapy uses ultraviolet A or B light waves, and is reserved for children over 12 and adults. It is very much like a tanning bed, and, like tanning beds, can cause skin cancer if used too much, for too long. Doctors use the minimum exposure necessary to ease itching and reduce inflammation.

In severe cases of eczema that do not respond to any other treatment, an immunosuppressive drug, like cyclosporine, may be used for a short time although the safety and effectiveness of cyclosporin in children has not been clearly established by clinical trials. These drugs block the production of some of the body's immune cells and curb the effect of others. They can provide relief from very serious eczema flares, but this improvement while on the drug often does not continue after the drug course is over. Side effects include hypertension and kidney problems, nausea, tingling or numbness, headaches, and a possible increase in cancer risk.

Keeping the skin happy and healthy is the first rule of good eczema care. This includes avoiding flare triggers, and sticking to a skin care routine that keeps the skin moisturized, and minimizes itchiness. To avoid these typical treatments that can do more harm than good you can try an all natural approach to healing.

Eczema Or Atopic Dermatitis, Anyone?

Atopic dermatitis is a skin disease which in some countries is also known as “eczema.” The ailment is one of the many forms of dermatitis or skin disease.

Atopic dermatitis most of the time occurs with some other atopic diseases, or ailments whose exact infected locations are not really traceable. Some of these diseases include asthma, hay fever and conjunctivitis.

This skin disease is most of the time chronic and symptoms and manifestations can further develop, continue to exist or disappear over some time. When you say chronic, it means the disease is treatable but not really curable.

Treatments like ointments and other forms are generally used to ease or relieve the itchiness or discomfort brought about by atopic dermatitis. These treatments are also used to reduce or diminish the affected area in the skin.

In the past, and even presently, atopic dermatitis is mistaken for psoriasis, another skin disease.

Atopic dermatitis usually shows up or affects infants whose ages may range from one month to six months. In the US, about 60% of atopic dermatitis patients experience their first onset of this skin disease when they were just one year old.

Approximately 90% of atopic dermatitis patients in the country got the skin disease when they were about 5 years old and below. There are cases of an atiopic dermatitis onset during adolescent years but they are very uncommon and rare.

Symptoms of atopic dermatitis

Be aware that manifestation or symptoms of this itchy and uncomfortable skin disease vary with age.

Generally, atopic dermatitis is characterized by the presence of lesions which occur or can be found in different areas of the body, depending on age.

For example, an infant has eczema if he has lesions in the extensor surfaces, the face or in the trunk. For young children, they are found in ankles and wrists. In adults, these lesions may be found in the upper chest, in the neck, in the face and in the genitals or sex organs.

For infants and children with atopic dermatitis, rashes also occur during warmer weather. These rashes will surely worsen with the climate change from warm to winter or colder climate.

Skin areas infected with atopic dermatitis also is characterized by unusual and unaesthetic skin drying.

Treating atopic dermatitis

Modern medicine believes that atopic dermatitis may be worsened or complicated by stress or emotional and psychological anxieties.

The dryness in the infected area in the skin can be practically reduced by avoiding and preventing further contact with the allergen that may have caused or triggered the onset of atopic dermatitis.

Moisturizers are available and easily accessible in local drug stores and retail chains but it is important to seek a doctor’s or a dermatologist’s prescription and consultation first. Self-treatment or self-prescription should be avoided for it may only worsen the skin disease.

Use of strong and harsh soaps must also be reduced to help prevent further drying of the skin. Most soaps today have chemicals that wash away and put out the natural oil produced by the skin. These natural oils contain substances that will help prevent skin drying.

Prevention

Of course, jut like other skin diseases, the most basic and general prevention for atopic dermatitis is through proper and practical hygiene.

Avoid skin contact with allergens like skin irritating chemicals, solvents and clothes. As much as possible, also avoid too much exposure to extreme climates like very high or very low temperatures.

It can be hard to explain but emotional stress can also be a factor causing atopic dermatitis so as much as possible avoid it, as well as exposure to excessive or little tobacco smoke.www.beateczema.com

Eczema Treatment

Eczema is a skin condition commonly known as dermatitis which can result in dry flaky skin which can be itchy and feel hot.  This sensation often leads to vigorous itching which in turn can damage the skin.
The word Eczema comes from the Greek words that mean “to boil over”.  The word Dermatitis comes from the Greek word for skin.  Both words refer to the same condition though.

There are four types of eczema, (atopic, varicose, discoid and contact/dermatitis).

Atopic Eczema is the most common form of Eczema. It is linked to hay fever and asthma.  There is a tendency for it to be inherited, but there are also environmental factors which are important as well.
Atopic means extra sensitivity to certain substances (allergens) e.g. dust mites, cat and dog fur etc.
It affects 15-20% of young children in the UK, however, in about 70% of these cases, it clears up.  If it doesn’t clear up, then it is likely that the condition will get worse as the patient gets older.
For some reason, the number of cases of Atopic eczema have increased in recent times.

Varicose Eczema affects the lower legs of patients.  It is associated with varicose veins and is often a pre-cursor to varicose vein problems.  It is also associated with poor circulation.  Unlike Atopic eczema, it tends to affect the middle aged and the elderly.

Contact/Dermatitis Eczema can be either an acute or chronic skin reaction where there is a sensitivity to a particular material.  This reaction may be an allergic or non-allergic reaction.  This condition is caused when the bodies immune system reacts with a particular substance.

Discoid Eczema can occur at any point in a persons life, however, it tends to appear at a later stage in life.  It tends to affect the lower legs and feet and shows itself as a distinct round patch of eczema.

<b>What are the symptoms of Eczema?</b>
Atopic
This type of Eczemas symptoms normally include red, dry, itchy skin.  There may also be some small water blisters which can weep on the hands and feet.  Scaly areas will develop as well where the skin has been continually scratched.

Varicose
The symptoms for Varicose Eczema start with a mild itchiness just above the ankle.  This will then become speckled and inflamed as well as becoming itchy.  On occasion, ulcers can form.

Contact/Dermatitis
This type of Eczema usually starts out with a  rash in the area where the trigger substance has come into contact with the skin.  Once the eczema has been triggered, then the eczema can spread through the body.

Discoid
Normally, one or a number of round patches of red skin appear.  They may be itchy and become blistered.  It is also quite common for these patches to be infected with bacteria.

<b>What is the treatment for Eczema?</b>
As with all conditions and diseases, it is usually best to talk to your doctor before embarking upon any course of treatment.  The information below is purely for information purposes only and I always recommend that you read the information below and then go and talk to a medical professional.
There doesn’t appear to be a cure for eczema, however, there are a number of treatments which can control the symptoms of this very uncomfortable condition.

There are a number of over the counter creams which will help to soothe your eczema of which there are two types.  These are emollients which are moisturisers which will soothe and hydrate the skin.  A good time to apply these creams is straight after a bath while your skin is still slightly moist.  There are also mild steroid creams.  These creams can calm flare ups of eczema by suppressing your bodys inflammatory response.  Even though these creams are available to anybody, it is wise to ask the pharmacists advice before using either emollients or mild steroid creams.

Your doctor may prescribe some prescription medicine if the emollients and mild steroid creams don’t work.

Your doctor may advise you to take anti-histamine drugs which will help you to sleep although they won’t directly relieve your eczema.
If your eczema is severe enough, it is possible you could have to go to hospital where the staff there will be able to keep you away from any trigger allergens and also to ensure that you take the medicine prescribed for you. To avoid these symptom treating means and focus on a cure, you can try an all natural approach to healing.www.beateczema.com

Eczema treatment with Vitamin E Cream

Eczema, to those who personally suffer from the disease or who have close family that has, can pose a significant problem in trying to live a normal life. Various treatments for the disease have been touted right and left, but few have proven themselves to be truly effective. While it’s recommended that every Eczema sufferer see a doctor who can recommend a course of treatment, there are some over the counter products available that can ease the symptoms of Eczema. If you’re skeptical about trying treatments other than those recommend by your doctor, we suggest talking to him or her before exploring other treatment paths. Below we will be looking into a treatment that has been overlooked by many for a good while – vitamin e cream.

Vitamin e cream has long been used by medical professionals for treating various problems, including scars of various types and other skin problems. Vitamin e cream can be an extremely ideal product for Eczema sufferers – given the amazing things it can do to protect and enhance one’s skin. Since the product can eliminate/reduce skin irritation, it can make living with Eczema much more bearable. Further, vitamin e cream can keep your skin from having to deal with other problems that can be brought about by sunlight. We recommend using a cream that contains natural vitamin e.

Like any other treatment, you have to be patient with vitamin e cream. Some people notice results quite quickly while others are left for several weeks without any sort of results. If you continue on the proper course, you will eventually notice an improvement in your skin. If you are interested in curing your eczema and not just treating the symptoms, you should try an all natrual approach to healing.www.beateczema.com

Forms Of Treatment For Eczema Sufferers

Many forms of Eczema treatments exist to help combat the inflammation, itching, and discharges associated with the very uncomfortable and disheartening condition. These treatments are designed to reduce inflammation, moisturize the skin, and assist the immune system to ward of skin Cancer, which is a possible result of severe or untreated Eczema.

Eczema treatment comes in many forms: moisturizers, itch-relief medication, corticosteroids, immunomodulators, antibiotics, light therapy, diet monitoring, and gene therapy. Each of these Eczema treatments is specialized in that each targets a particular symptom or aspect of the condition. None serves as permanent remedy, but most provide some relief.

Forms of Eczema Treatment:

Eczema Treatments: Moisturizers

Moisturizers can promote and help the skin retain its natural moisture (i.e. prevent the skin from drying out), which is necessary to reduce the symptoms of Eczema. Moisturizers are the single most important and effective health-care Eczema treatment in existence.

Emollients (moisturizing agents) come in creams and ointments. Each one has a different effect over the skin. Both must be applied on dry (non-wet) skin. Soap is effective, too, but conditionally.

Creams—these are absorbed into the skin rather quickly and are subject to continuous re-applications. That’s not to say they don’t work, only that ongoing use will reinforce their effect.

Ointments—since they are low on water content, ointments remain on or at the surface of the skin for a longer duration of time, so only periodic applications are necessary. Using only a little ointment from time to time will also cut down on a sticky mess.

Soap—bathing in warm, not hot, water; do not use sponges, washcloths, or loofahs; soap at the very end of the bath; use fragrant-less moisturizer before drying off; do not rub skin dry; and use soap sparingly.

Eczema Treatment: Itch Relief

Antihistimines—reduces itching during an Eczema flare-up.

Capsaicin—counteracts the itching by mitigating the body’s itch signals. Other agents, especially those containing menthol, effectively do that as well. Naloxone Hydrochloride and Debucaine are two preferences.

Eczema Treatments: Corticosteroids

This Eczema treatment combats dermatitis and other similar skins conditions. Corticosteroids come in creams and ointments.

Effects of Corticosteroids are dependent on usage:

Atrophy--Prolonged application causes the skin to become thin and fragile. This condition might allow Eczema to grow more severe.

Osteoporosis (Bone Demineralization)—high-strength steroids applied excessively will likely be absorbed into the body and eventually cause bones to weaken.

Skin Infections (Fungal or Viral)—as immunosuppressive agents, Corticosteroids can allow or cause certain skin infections.

In the end, Corticosteroids should be used sparingly and only temporarily; after symptoms have disappeared, the use of this Eczema treatment should cease immediately.

Eczema Treatments: Immunomodulators

Immunomodulators as an Eczema treatment is risky. It is believed that inflammatory conditions like Eczema have a link with Cancer, and that suppressing the immune system will reduce the likelihood of Eczema. The problem with this is that suppressing the immune system will increase the likelihood of Cancer developing. Therefore, this Eczema treatment is questionable and should be used as a final alternative.

Eczema Treatments: Antibiotics

Antibiotics as an Eczema treatment will fight off infections, should this happen through scratching or breaking dry skin. If scratching is inevitable, antibiotics should be considered immediately and continuously used to reduce the chance of infection.

Eczema Treatments: Light Therapy

Light therapy as a form of Eczema treatment, using ultraviolet light on PUVA, UVB, and/or Narrow Band UVB is effective in combating the symptoms of Eczema.

Photo-ChemoTherapy: the combine efforts of light therapy and a drug called Psoralen to combat the symptoms of Eczema. This Eczema treatment should only be employed if light therapy alone does not work.

Eczema Treatments: Diet Monitoring

Diet Monitoring as a form of Eczema treatment is effective by removing potential allergen foods, such as cow milk and foods having a high number of preservatives, like processed meats and “fizzy’ drinks, from one’s eating pattern. In this alternative, the Eczema treatment can be summed up to discipline.

Eczema Treatments: Gene Therapy

Considering that Eczema has no known cure and that such conditions are usually related to family history and hereditary, Gene Therapy might serve as an effective Eczema treatment.

Eczema treatments are plenty, but the right move to make depends on one’s individual circumstances, as each person’s family and biological make up are different. Furthermore, each treatment has its drawbacks as well as its advantages; no treatment is perfect. Eczema treatments, then, should be considered very carefully before being used.www.beateczema.com

Get Relief For Baby’s Eczema

Treatments for Eczema in babies can be a little thin on the ground, which is pretty tough to bear if your little one is a sufferer. Doctors will do all they can, but many medical treatments focus solely on the symptoms of Eczema, instead of the roots. There are a few tips to follow that may help you get some real relief for baby.

Tip1
Bathe Baby as often as you can, ideally twice a day. Obviously take extra special care that the water is the right temperature-85 degrees is about perfect for battling Eczema. When you clean baby, use toiletries that are aimed for babies, and always always always try to use natural unscented products. The perfuming chemicals in many products can have awful effects on Eczema ridden skin-not what we want for our little guy!

Tip 2
Moisturize the little fellow. It’s a pretty obvious fact that the higher the moisture content in human skin, the less itchy it is. Itching is a particularly large factor in Baby Eczema, as baby doesn’t know what’s happening-this causes them to become more and more stressed and upset, which in turn only effects the itching and makes it worse! It can be a vicious cycle, and hopefully you can keep your little one out of it by regular moisturization. It’s best to do this after bathing, and obviously use the correct products for infants, especially unscented stuff.

Bedding-
Bedding and clothing can be a big factor in Eczema, because it rubs against our skin night and day-this is especially true for baby. Can you imagine being swaddled in a fabric that was itching you non stop? It would drive the little guy crazy! To make sure the bedding and clothing is in the best possible way for the baby, try to use things that are made from only the very softest 100% cotton, and keep it laundered frequently. The more frequently it’s cleaned, the less bacteria will have a chance to build up. It’s also a good idea to make sure that any detergent used in the laundry is very mild and scent free. Another point is to bear in mind that your own clothing may also irritate baby, so avoid woolen fabrics and anything else itchy.

Seeing your little one suffering with Eczema can be one of the worst feelings in the world. The tips above can give you a little power to fight back, and hopefully earn some peace for your baby.www.beateczema.com

How to relieve eczema, itchy skin using all natural remedies

Also called dermatitis, eczema is a noncontagious skin inflammation that produces itchy skin, red, rashlike areas. These occur on the face, scalp, wrists, and hands, as well as at the crease of the elbows, in back of the knees and sometimes elsewhere on the body.
Eczema can spread or worsen if you scratch the affected areas. And persistent scratching or rubbing can bring on chronic eczema, chronic itchy skin, with its distinctive dark, thickened, scaly red patches.

There are different types of eczema, some classified by causes, others by specific symptoms. Atopic dermatitis is marked by a hypersensitivity, or allergy, to a food, inhalant, or other common substance that doesn't bother most people. It tends to be genetically linked, affecting individuals with a family history of hay fever, asthma, or eczema.

Flaking and scaling on the face and scalp are typical of seborrheic dermatitis, while contact dermatitis produces an acute local rash after someone sensitive to it comes in contact with an irritant (say, the nickel in jewelry or the oil on a poison ivy leaf).
 A separate type of itchy skin, stasis dermatitis, affects the lower legs and ankles and is associated with insufficient circulation of blood in those areas.

Key Symptoms

Itchy, red rashlike patches of skin that are dry, rough, scaly or cracked
Small red pimplelike blisters
Leaking ("weeping") of fluid, crusting and flaking in affected areas
Chafing and peeling
Thickened, dry patches of skin in persistent cases
Itching, swelling and inflammation in lower legs and around ankles (stasis dermatitis)

What Causes Eczema?

Allergies are a common cause of eczema. People who are susceptible tend to have a personal or family history of allergic reactions to foods, pollen, animal fur or other substances. Many people with eczema also have (or eventually develop) hay fever or asthma, and their bodies often contain above-normal amounts of histamine, a chemical that triggers an allergic defense reaction in the skin when it's released.

Eczema symptoms can be triggered by such foods as milk, eggs, shellfish, nuts, wheat, strawberries, and chocolate.

They can also be aggravated by contact with various substances, including animal fur, plant allergens, such as poison ivy and poison sumac, jewelry containing chrome and especially nickel (watchbands, rings, earrings), cosmetics (including nail polish), fragrances, deodorants and antiperspirants, shaving lotions and skin creams, different types of fabrics (particularly wool and silk), dyes, latex and rubber, leathers, and household cleaning agents (including dishwashing and laundry detergents

Other factors associated with outbreaks of eczema are dry air; too much sun; stress; topical medications and certain drugs, such as penicillin; hot baths; and exposure to dust, pollen, and animal dander.

Treatment and Prevention

Soothing creams and ointments can help to lessen the excruciating  itchy skin  of eczema--and it's important not to scratch, as this can worsen the condition.
A variety of nutritional supplements can also provide relief.
 
How Supplements Can Help

Because people respond differently to supplements, many eczema sufferers have to try several before they find one (or a good combination) that works well for them.

Evening primrose oil (in capsules, soft gels, or liquid) contains essential fatty acids that can help revitalize the skin and relieve itching and inflammation. Studies have shown that recommended daily doses of evening primrose oil can reduce the need for    creams. Alternatives to evening primrose oil are the less expensive black currant and borage seed oils.

Flaxseed oil contains equal amounts of both omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids, which can be helpful in the treatment of any chronic allergic condition, including eczema.

Fish oils were found to relieve chronic eczema in a double-blind study. They appear to work by reducing levels of leukotriene B-4, a substance in the body involved with the inflammation of eczema. Eating cold-water fish regularly is the best source for fish oils, but if you're not a fish fan, you can always take fish oil capsules.

Grape seed extract is rich in flavonoids (antioxidant substances that inhibit the body's allergic responses). Grape seed extract can help relieve and prevent the itchy skin flare-ups of eczema.

These are just some tips of things that have helped others in the past. In order to cure your eczema, you will need a complete system.www.beateczema.com

Kick Eczema With These Home Remedies

Learning to care for your own Eczema and wage war against it without needing Doctors or specialists can be the one thing that finally tips the scales in your favor. Many people experience no relief through various medical help, so maybe you can find relief through the tips I have compiled below.

Home Remedy 1- Diet
The average person’s diet contains a fair degree of acid. Scientists have proven that that acid can be very bad for Eczema. You have two solutions-systematically cut down on acidic foods, which is tougher than it sounds, or take some kelp supplements. Kelp is very high in alkali, and will help to neutralize some of the acid. This can be very effective, as can visiting a diet expert and having them compile a few meal plans for you.

Home Remedy 2-Vitamin E
Vitamin E has excellent effects on areas affected with Eczema. The main benefit is that it can greatly reduce the itching and discomfort you can feel in your worst Eczema prone areas. The way it works is by neutralizing the microbes in the area-these microbes are thought to be to blame for the irritation which causes the itching. Natural Vitamin E is much more efficient than the synthetic kind, so be careful when buying.

Home Remedy 3- Blueberry Extract
Blueberry leaves have a natural acid in them, which acts a wholly natural anti inflammatory. If you use and apply this regularly, it can really help you in the long term. Blueberry leaf extract should be found in your local health store.

Home Remedy 4- Moisturize
Moisturizing can be a real godsend for some Eczema sufferers, but many people just don’t bother with it. If you get into a regular moisturization regime, you can really cut the effect the condition can have on your life. It’s best to moisturize as often as possible, twice a day if possible, and it’s also best to do it after bathing or showering. Apply the moisturizer when your skin is still slightly damp, and you will be helping to seal that all important moisturizer inside your skin.

Eczema is never good news, but most people don’t realize they can make a real difference to it if they take some action! Hopefully you will use these tips and find some real freedom.www.beateczema.com

Natural Eczema Treatment Provides Relief without Side Effects

The National Institutes of Health estimates that more than 15 million Americans have symptoms of atopic dermatitis - otherwise known as eczema. Although there are several different types of eczema, atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin disease characterized by inflamed and itchy skin. According to the NIH, health insurance companies pay out over $1 billion in medical care costs for eczema treatment every year. Considering how many Americans are uninsured or underinsured, the actual cost for eczema care is likely much higher.

Causes of Eczema

Unfortunately, the specific cause of eczema is unknown, but according to the NIH, "the disease seems to result from a combination of genetic (hereditary) and environmental factors." It appears that allergies and immune system disorders are associated with eczema, and that stress can cause eczema outbreaks in people who have inherited the tendency for the condition. Environmental irritants that can trigger or exacerbate outbreaks include dust, cigarette smoke, wool or synthetic clothing fibers, soaps, cosmetics, and household chemicals.

Infantile Eczema

According to the NIH, "Scientists estimate the 65 percent of patients develop symptoms in the first year of life, and 90 percent develop symptoms before the age of five." In other words, infant eczema is much more prevalent than adult-onset eczema. Moreover, about 60 percent of those with baby eczema will continue to have symptoms of the condition into adulthood.

Eczema Treatments

According to the NIH, the two goals of eczema treatment are preventing outbreaks and healing the skin. Doctors sometimes prescribe immuno-modulators that come in ointment or cream form, but these cannot be used in children under two years of age. In addition, unwanted side effects like burning or itching can occur.

A wide range of other mediations is also used to treat the condition, including antihistamines, immuno-suppressants, and antibiotics (to treat skin infections). Most commonly, corticosteroids are prescribed, either as a cream or a pill. This class of medications is problematic for a number of reasons, notably that long-term use can have serious and life-threatening side effects.

Home Relief for Itching with Eczema

As an alternative to medications that are rife with side effects, there are all-natural eczema treatments on the market that can stop the itching, re-hydrate the skin, and promote healing. For example, eczema bath salts use natural essential oils with healing properties that also condition the skin, soothe itching, and stop oozing. Parents are embracing these natural treatments because they are not harmful to children, help to prevent the infections caused by scratching, and turn the nightmare of bath time into a welcome respite.

Those who suffer from hand eczema or a rash on other parts of the body can turn to a number of remedies, but a natural eczema treatment provides an inexpensive, safe alternative to prescription medications.

Nummular Eczema-Get Some Relief

Nummular Eczema is a slight variation from regular eczema, which starts with very itchy patches or rashes on the skin, which develop into coin shaped patches of dermatitis. It can get steadily worse as it progresses, and for a lot of sufferers it is chronic. I’ve put together some tips here so you can try and prevent it yourself!

Clothing-
A fundamental way to prevent both nummular eczema and the regular kind is to be very particular about the clothing you have next to your skin. The wrong clothing can really make your eczema flare up. Try and stick to clothing that is very soft and 100% cotton. Woolen items are a definite no-no, as is anything else even slightly itchy. Also pay attention to the fit of your clothing. You don’t want anything that’s going to be too tight or clingy, as this can be just as bad as wearing the wrong kinds of fabrics.

Detergents-
Perfumes, scent agents and the detergent itself can all have very ugly effects on regular skin, so Eczema sufferers should be extra aware. If you’ve ever found that there is a certain piece of clothing that for some reason just drives you crazy with the itching and soreness one day, the problem is probably your detergent. You can eliminate much of this by going with a natural detergent which is unperfumed. This is good advice for both clothing and also for any toiletries which come into close proximity to your skin.

Bathing-
Sometimes people can assume that they can prevent Nummular Eczema or send it into regression by increasing the amount of baths or showers they take. This is kind of a double edged sword. Yes, bathing can reduce symptoms, as it will remove bacteria and microbes in the area which may eventually cause discomfort-BUT the more you bathe, the more your skin dries out, which will definitely make the eczema worse. The only compromise is to moisturize…

Moisturize-
As I said, it can be beneficial to bathe twice a day, but only if you moisturize DIRECTLY after. Pat yourself down with a very soft towel, and apply your moisturizer to damp skin, which will hopefully help you lock even more of the moisture inside.

Diet-
A highly acidic diet can prove bad for Eczema, scientists have found definite links, so it may be worthwhile trying to reduce the acidic content in the food you eat. This is tricky, unless you happen to be a dietician. If you don’t you may want to visit a dietician for some advice. There is also a simpler solution, which is to take kelp supplements. The alkali in the kelp will help by neutralizing the acid in the food you eat.

No matter what kind of Eczema you have, it can make your life a real misery. Nummular eczema is one of the very worst kinds, so hopefully these few tips will help provide you with some relief.

Simple Eczema Solutions

If you’ve ever been disappointed or discouraged by regular medical procedures regarding Eczema, these tips may help you. There are a few proven methods to gaining Eczema relief that have little to do with drugs, medication or Doctors. Check them out below.

1-Keep your skin moisturized
The key here is consistency. Set yourself a regime, and stick to it. The more often the better, usually once in the evening and once in the morning is very beneficial. In the morning, you want to apply the moisturizer after your bath or shower. Towel your skin lightly so it is mostly dry but still a little damp, and apply the moisturizer then. This will enable your body to absorb a lot of the moisture left over from the bath. As a side note, if you can find an unscented moisturizer you may better off, as scenting agents have been proved to exacerbate Eczema. Imagine coating your skin in something that is only going to make it worse!

2-Give Your Diet A Makeover
This may require seeing a dietician, or anyone else trained to give advice on diet in relation to your health. Many people underestimate the importance of diet, but think of it this way-you may be eating the wrong kinds of foods right now, and making your Eczema 3 or 4 times as bad as it would otherwise be. Scientists have sometimes found that highly acidic foods are linked to Eczema, so you may experience benefits by cutting down on them, or by taking kelp supplements, which are very high in alkali and can neutralize the acid in some foods.

3- Get Some Vitamin E Cream
Vitamin E is great when applied directly affected Eczema areas, as it has proven anti microbial qualities. This doesn’t mean to much to most people, but certain microbes and bacteria are thought to be responsible for a large percentage of the itching and discomfort from Eczema, so removing them with Vitamin E can really bring some relief. Also, it’s worth noting that synthetic vitamin E will not have the same benefits as a natural version.

4- Dress Smart!
I mean use your brain, not wearing smart clothing! Throw out any clothing or bedding or towels or anything that you find even slightly. A minor irritation like this can really cause problems long term. Replace it all with the softest 100% cotton you can find. Also, rethink your laundry situation. Detergents and softeners etc can wreak havoc with skin conditions, so you may want to switch to natural unscented detergents etc to combat this.

Eczema can ruin your life-if you let it. But it doesn’t have to. If you play smart and work against it using the pointers above, you can experience some real relief and start to gain some real headway in getting rid of it forever. www.beateczema.com

Treat Your Eczema At Home

Learning to treat your eczema and gain relief at home can provide you with freedom that you may not otherwise experience. A surprising number of Eczema sufferers are realizing that the treatments they give themselves in their own home can have a much more fundamental effect in the fight to beat the condition. I’ve put together a few tips here so you can try it for yourself.

Fix Your Diet-
It’s often the change that has the biggest effect on your Eczema, and ironically is most often the easiest change to implement into your lifestyle. Scientific reports have hinted that foods with a high acidity can have direct links to Eczema. You can fix this very efficiently by visiting a dietician and getting some ideas for a new diet-but realistically, most people have neither the means or the inclination to visit a specialist dietician, so I would suggest a trip to your local health food store. Kelp supplements can most likely be found there, and they are proven to have a very high Alkali content. This alkali will neutralize the acid in your stomach from Acidic foods, and so can be a quick way to get relief.

Moisturize-
The more you moisturize the less bother your eczema will give you, period. For most people the dreaded itching is amongst the worse parts of being an Eczema sufferer, and a regular moisturization regime can really help eliminate that itch. The best method is to moisturize each day after your bath or shower, and lightly towel yourself dry before application. Applying the moisturizer to slightly damp skin like this will help you lock some of the moisture inside the skin, giving even greater relief.


You don’t need me to tell you how much of a pain Eczema can be, but hopefully if you apply some of these tips you can find some considerable relief.www.beateczema.com

Use Nature To Beat Your Eczema

Many people experience disappointment at the lack of progress conventional medicine is able to make against their Eczema, and unfortunately most of them have no idea how much help some natural therapies can be. I’ve compiled a few tips here that may help you find some natural relief.

Step 1-Get Some Vitamin E Cream.
As one of nature’s most powerful anti oxidants, vitamin E does a great job of clearing your Eczematic areas of any offending microbes or bacteria. These are the little guys that cause the itching and swelling, so to be rid of them is a real boost!

Step 2-Use An Emollient
An Emollient is a little like regular moisturizer, except that it’s got a base of FAT. Yes fat. Gross? Well it may seem so but when you take into account that the fat layer will seal the moisture inside your skin and stop itching and cracking, it doesn’t seem quite so gross huh? If you apply an emollient directly after bathing or showering, you will really be doing some good as that is when there is the most moisture available to be locked under your skin.

Step 3-Get Some Blueberry Leaf Extract
The blueberry leaves contain a form of acid, called chlorogenic acid-don’t worry it’s not the kind of acid that will eat through your carpet. This acid has certain anti microbe agents in its make up, which means it’s a very effective natural anti inflammatory. Perfect to apply to the affected area when it seems like nothing else will get the job done!

Step 4-Starting Packing Moisturizer
As we said, emollients are great, but they aren’t always super practical. That’s why it makes sense to keep a bottle of moisturizer with you all the time. That way, next time you are in the office shuffling papers and you feel your hands starting to dry out, just apply a dab of moisturizer. If you get into this habit you can really start to stop some of the worst Eczema episodes in their tracks.

These steps will help reduce your eczema. If you are wishing to cure your eczema, you will need a complete system. www.beateczema.com

Your Natural Eczema Solution

Eczema can be a real problem in your life, it can have profound effects and literally stop you living your life how you would like to. Many people find that the solutions they receive from their Doctors is either unsatisfactory or plain old just doesn’t work. If this is at all familiar, try out some of the natural tips below- you’ll be surprised how effective they are.

Blueberry Leaf Extract-
Natural base ingredients in blueberry leaves have excellent effects on your Eczema. They use a kind of acid called chlorogenic acid. Chlorogenic acid is mother nature’s own natural anti inflammatory medicine. This means that basically wherever you are experiencing discomfort or swelling, apply the extract in cream or lotion form, and you should find the symptoms lessening. Your local health or wellness store should carry Blueberry extract in many forms.

Flaxseed Oil-
The jury’s still out on the taste of this stuff, but there can be little arguing about the effects it has on your skin. Not only will it help reduce Eczema, it will also improve the health of your skin in general. It does take a while for the results to show up, but keep at it and be consistent with your dosage and you will get there! The dosage is different for everyone, so you may want to consult with your Doctor for some medical advice first.

Moisturization of the affected area-
To put it bluntly, the more moisture there is in your skin, the less it can split and crack and itch and flake. In an eczema sufferer, the further you can get from these things the better. As a general rule, the more you can moisturize the better, but as a minimum twice a day should give you some real gains. It’s best to moisturize immediately after bathing, dab yourself dry with a soft towel and apply the moisturizer directly to damp skin. This will help you lock the moisturizer into the skin, and give you even greater benefits.

These are good tips in helping deal with your eczema. If you would like to cure your eczema forever, you will need a complete system designed to do so. www.beateczema.com

Atopic Eczema

Atopic eczema is a disease distinguished by chronic inflammation of the skin. This is also called atopic dermatitis and can be hereditary. This is actually the most common form of eczema. Babies, children and adults are prone to this disease. But deviating from other people’s belief, it is non-contagious.

Those who suffer from this disease normally experience red, flaky, irritated and itchy skin. Babies have rashes in the face, elbows and knees. Children and young adults usually have the symptoms inside the elbows, behind the knees, on the wrist and on the side of the neck and hands. But of course, symptoms vary from one person to another. These are caused by the skin’s abnormal reaction to irritants and allergens scattered in the environment.  

Aside from allergens, the disease may come about through other factors such as stress or fatigue. But typically, it attacks with other atopic diseases such as hay fever and asthma. So those people with history of these allergy problems have the biggest probability of undergoing the chronic inflammation of the skin and can be aggravated through the irritants and allergens.

To prevent atopic eczema, one has to know first what triggers the allergic reaction. Here are some common triggers among eczema sufferers:

• Changes in temperature
• Foods like peanuts, soy sauce, and etc.
• Clothes made from wool and other abrasive fabrics
• Allergens like dust, animal dander, mold, pollen and etc.
• Chemical irritants like astringents, perfume, detergents, alcohol, paint, pesticides and harsh soaps.
• Extreme fatigue and stress
• Other skin infections

Basically, the prevention is obvious. One has to avoid these triggering factors to avoid eczema even for a short time only.www.beateczema.com

Children with Eczema

Eczema may develop to different kinds of people. It can hit even the wealthiest person alive. All people are prone to acquiring this kind of disease. No one’s excuse; not even children.

Survey says one out of ten children gets eczema. It appears, typically before the age of five. Upon seeing rashes on your kid, consult a pediatrician and a dermatologist immediately to confirm the diagnosis.

Babies and children up to 5 years old get eczema on the forehead and cheeks, normally red, inflamed rashes with bumps. These become even painful for kids when the eczema develops with fluid-filled blisters that may eventually burst. 

For older children, eczema develops on knees, wrists, ankles and elbows like round red scaly patches.

Bear in mind that your child needs not to be isolated from other people because eczema is not dangerous and contagious. So you don’t have to stop your kid from going to school. You can avoid the flare up by doing the following prevention and tips.

• Give your child clothes made of cotton. This help the skin breathe and cool down. Also, the scratchy feeling in reduced as well.
• Use mild and gentle soap with warm water when bathing. Fragrance free soaps are gentle on skin. Use a cloth to apply the soap and never rub the skin roughly.
• Regular moisturizing of the skin could help. Use creams and ointments that are advised by the doctor to maintain the skin’s moisture and reduce irritability.
• Tell your child to avoid scratching and rubbing the affected areas. This may just worsen the situation and in the long run, start up painful flare. 
• Make sure to keep your child’s nails trimmed down and clean.
• Keep your environment clean and dust-free. Also restrict pets on some areas at home.www.beateczema.com

The soreness of its symptoms which include, redness, swelling, inflaming, itching and sometimes wounding make a person’s living really difficult. Eczema can range from the occasional flare up to the more severe cases.
