EXEMA (ECZEMA)

Learn if natural remedies for exema can help

Exema is a chronic (long-term) disease that affects the skin. It typically causes a red, itchy, reoccurring rash. The most common type of eczema is atopic dermatitis. Approximately 15-20% of all people will be affected by eczema in their childhood. Fortunately, the disease usually disappears as they get older.

The cause of atopic dermatitis is unknown, and the symptoms come and go. Eczema can affect any part of the body, but is most commonly seen on the face, neck, and the insides of the elbows, knees, and ankles.

While the cause of eczema is still unknown, it appears to be related to the immune system. For unknown reasons, the body’s immune system overreacts to an irritating substance, causing itchiness. Eczema is not contagious, and there is no cure. The goal of treatment is to reduce the frequency of outbreaks, and severity of the symptoms.

We will now go over the types of eczema, and then discuss exema treatment including natural remedies for exema.

Types of eczema

Atopic Eczema is believed to be a hereditary condition. In atopic eczema, the immune system overreacts to allergens in the environment. The eczema is triggered by coming into contact with substances in the environment, or after eating certain foods. Triggers include pollen, dust, or foods such as nuts, eggs, seafood, dairy, etc.

Contact Dermatitis is a localized reaction that is caused by something coming into direct contact to the skin. Examples of irritants include chemicals, plants, soaps, cosmetics, etc.

Symptoms of eczema

-A red rash can appear, with flaky or scaly dry skin. The rash can itch or burn.
-Scratching can make it worse. It can become crusty and ooze or bleed.
-In adults, thick brown scaly patches can develop.
-Some people develop red bumps, while others may have clear fluid filled bumps. Scratching can make both worse.
-The skin can become very painful, harden and crack.
-Without treatment, it will continue to get worse.

Exema treatment

There is no cure for eczema. The goal of exema treatment is to reduce the frequency of outbreaks, and minimize the symptoms.

A dermatologist typically will prescribe steroids, antibiotics, antihistamines or phototherapy. These treatments all can have severe side effects, and are not safe to use long term. For example, phototherapy can make the skin more susceptible to cancers from the sun. Using steroids can cause weight gain, irregular heartbeat, thinning skin, hair loss and sterility. Antihistamines and antibiotics are specifically intended for short term use only, and have an extensive list of side effects.

For this reason, many people look into natural remedies for exema. Natural treatments have no side effects, are safe to use long term, and for many people are the most effective exema treatment.
