Eczema

yes, salt water is good against eczema!

Maybe there should be trials conducted? Unfortunately I've no access to a horse.

No it can't spread to others, but it can spread to other areas of the body.

A number of reasons. During a flareup the skin should not have steam or warm steamed towels. The water should be luke warm. Fragrances should be avoided. Most products used for facials have fragrance or essential oils added. Also, the movement can irritate the skin further causing additional areas to become affected or worsen the areas that already are affected.

The plural and singular form of eczema remains as 'eczema'.

'Eczma' is a mass noun, thus doesn't really have a plural. E.g 'I have eczma.' 'All my family has eczma'.

It is imporbable that a causal relationship between smoking and eczema could be found. Cigarette smoke has a number of nasty chemicals in it, and they can create some severe challenges for the body to overcome. But it is highly unlikely that eczema is caused by smoking.

Eczema is a skin disorder, and it isn't just "one thing" but describes a range or a number of forms of dermatitus. That makes diagnosis and treatment a bit more of a challenge. Finding a cause can also be tough. Sufferers are frequently reduced to simply treating symptoms as a "best solution" to the problem. Certainly any medical issues are best taken up with a professional care provider. Best of luck with any and all health decisions.

Eczema us usually caused by and allergic reaction within the body. Studies have shown that, when smoking was removed from body for enough time, the signs of Eczema have depleted and fully healed.

You should basically use products free from all dyes & all perfumes. (if soaking in the tub, use Robathol, sold over the internet, instead of bubble bath) For bathing, Basis Soap is excellent (sold at Wal-Mart & Walgreens) For lotion, Fragrance Free Curel is excellent (also Vanicream but it is only sold at Dermatologist's offices or over the internet) For laundering X-Tra Detergent, perfume free, dye free, is my only choice, it is very inexpensive & works great....you should also ALWAYS double rinse your clothes before drying & avoid fabric softeners (when traveling I always take along my own towels & wash cloths as the detergents hotels use contain bleach & they also use fabric softener, and all of my relatives & friends use fabric softeners, etc.) For clothing, wear as much 100% cotton as you can, avoid nylons, polyesters, rayons, & wool, this is even important for things like underwear, bras & socks! Try to wear as little make-up as possible, try fragrence free deoderant, go bare-foot as often as possible, wear a light powder to absorb moisture from sweaty areas. Hope that helps some? :)

Eczema is typically treated with a cream to soothe the area of skin that is irritated. However, if it is caused by an underlying issue, the doctor may treat that with other medications.

i think it really depends on how bad it is, if its so bad it cant be kept under control i'd say don't do it, I've had eczema since i was a baby and its been bad for months then fine for months its usually easy enough to prevent flare ups by finding triggers and avoiding them.I currently have four and can honestly say eczema affects them, only one is in an area not prone to flare ups and that's undoubtably my best. i have both wrists tattooed and its been hell getting them to heal with my eczema they're still not healed and its been 4 months.I think you can get tattoos with ecsema but you'd be better off getting them in awkward places like your back or stomach.You'll need to look after them longer and be more careful and be prepared for fading if you use a steroid cream.Hope i helped!!

it depends what type of eczema you have.. if it is a light eczema then u will probaably use that but if its a heavy eczema then u might wanat to try something like a Natural Emu Oil Eczema Cream

Only your dermatologist knows for sure.

Do NOT use store bought soap with all its additives and preservatives. Use natural soap with honey, oats and calendula since all those have healing properties like the one we make at lavendersoap.org. What is more is it has shea butter to seal in moisture. My sons eczema is actually the reason we started making soap in the first place. Since we have been using the calendula soap he hasn't had an outbreak and we don't even have to use lotion anymore! Good luck!

Yes it can, rub it in gently after a bath or leave it overnight. Here are some extra tips:

- Take 4 cups of oatmeal (powdered is best) and mix it with warm bathwater, soak for about 15 mins, rinse with more warm water and pat them dry (dont rub!).

- Make a paste out of oatmeal and warm water, leave it on until it dries then wash off

- Leave raw honey on affected areas for 20 minutes then rinse off with warm water

- Take natural supplements like fish oil, vitamin E, and vitamin C or apply them directly onto the skin

- Keep your skin moisturized, use creams with blueberry or licorice extract

- Cut out or reduce milk (give them soy), eggs, peanuts and sugar from their diet

- Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and shower after you sweat

- Don't let them scratch! It may cause infection and make it worse. If they scratch while asleep then put cotton gloves on

- Dust and dust mites can worsen eczema, so keep the room clean and change bedclothes regulary

eczema is not hereditary althoug there is a higher risk if the parent does have it or the parent has bad allergies or asthma
Yes.

Yes it is a topical ointment and can be used for eczema

Diffrent types of steroids are applied to the infected area. Some of the steroids are in the form of creams/rubs.Others are oral or injectable.These control or suppress eczema.

From your description, you have a rash. Can be caused by numerous things from too much sunlight to a reaction from something you ate or a medication side effect. If you have never had this before, and it persists for longer than a day, you should see a doctor. Be sure not to scratch or break open any of the bumps.

yes

No. The left side of the head does not connect to the eardrum, while the right ear Is slightly from a %10 chance that It Is connected to the ear Infection or the eardrum.

This is usually caused by stress in many teenagers

you can never really get rid but these things have helped me tame it. # i have found that aveeno anti itch creme , intensive care creme, and eucerin products are some of the best cremes out there for people with eczema and i advise covering your skin with lotion every time you come out of tche shower. also it may sound weird but chlorine in pools clears up eczema better than any creme I've tried. another thing that helps is taking fish oil capsules the omega 3 fatty acid help fight eczema

it differs. somedays it feels like its not even there and you have clear skin. but when it flares up you have to itch it, you feel the need to itch it. if you leave it long enough you feel like if you don't itch it, it will drive you mad. then you've itched it, you feel it come up some where else and you itch that and so on and so on. when you have stopped itching you may feel it start up again so you will itch it again. this keeps occurring until you are satisfied. you could be bleeding and you still aren't satisfied. But it's different for everyone, this is just how it happens to me.

the correct term for pimples is acne vulgaris

Yep! I just got diagnosed with it, you can be born with it you can get it at any age.Talk to your doctor: there are ointments that can help with the symptoms if it grows over age 1 then you can cure it but if you're born with it you're arrmegedon
