Care Begins at Home

At 12 years of age, I came across this unwanted visitor who left with both my skin and my self image with flakes and itches. My skin wept and so did I, it bled and I got scared wondering what had gone wrong. Then my doctor helped me heal both my skin as well as my mind and self image with her eczema treatment.

Little did I know then about all the restrictions that my future held for me. But when this vicious diseases comes to you, you really have to take care and precautions enough so that the visitor is not invited again. Here are some of the precautions that I and anybody suffering of eczema must take care of, along with the eczema treatment.

At first you have to be very regular with the eczema treatment. You should visit your doctor regularly, take the right medicines at the right time and apply the ointments provided religiously. Second, do not scratch your skin... quite a pain but we simply can not help it. No synthetic clothes, only cotton ones.... no artificial jewellery... gold may suit you. Go lavish on the moisturiser everyday and try to stay away from stress.


Eczema Treatment : A Few Simple Methods To Make Good of It

It was a terrible time for my baby with all those rashes to bear. I can remember him unable to sleep at nights. Rashes were intruding more and more skin areas of my dear Johnny boy. It started from the back of his ears and spread onto his face, back, body, neck and legs. It was him having covered with all those weird reddish rashes, but it was most painful for me and my husband, to say the least.

My first instinct was to go for steroidal creams as they bring about quick relief. However, the fact that they can have side-effects made me back out. And also there had to be a better, that is to say, a permanent cure for it. Herbal products with essential oil ingredients and herbs like chamomile offer a better alternative for eczema treatment. Calendula smells nice and is effective too.

We also changed his diet and the baby soaps that we used earlier, as per doctor's recommendation. Regular moisturising with gentle herbal lotions worked well too. Johnny showed a vast improvement in just a few days, while we heaved a sigh of relief. A few simple precautions and we made good of our baby's eczema treatment.
