Beauty is all about being comfortable in your own skin but needless to say, any type of skin condition is uncomfortable as hell. Today we study one such frustrating skin disorder. Atopic dermatitis or eczema is a chronic skin condition which is characterized by dry, flaky, itchy plaques and is commonly propagated by a continuous itch-scratch cycle. The more you scratch, the longer it lasts.
Atopic dermatitis is a common disease that occurs in people that are predisposed to it. This condition usually starts in childhood and develops mainly on the face, joints, neck, knees, and wrists among others. In some cases, it might involve the entire body. Eczema causes may vary from individual to individual.
One of the things that make eczema worse is losing oil from the skin/when the skin fails to retain moisture. This is usually associated with particular environmental factors or a group of substances that a person is susceptible or allergic to. They might include irritants in the form of soaps and detergents, chemicals in cosmetic products, heat, excessive sweating, low humidity, allergens such as dust, dust mites, animal dander, and many more.
It is imperative to start with the treatment process as soon as one notices the symptoms as waiting aggravates the itchy-scratch cycle. Let us look at the different treatment options out there.
Conventional treatment
Before you start treatment, few self-care tips could be very helpful such as identifying and avoiding potential triggers, avoiding places with extreme temperatures, always lubricating the skin with bath oils and moisturizers, just to name a few. Eczema treatment comes in many forms. Your doctor may prescribe creams or ointments that aim to control the itching. In case of a bacterial infection, the doctor may prescribe an antibiotic cream. Overuse of these creams may cause possible side-effects such as skin thinning. In severe cases, you may be prescribed with oral steroids that aim to control the inflammation. Although very powerful and effective, these drugs should not be taken for a long time due to potential side-effects such as weight gain, high blood pressure, hair loss, gastrointestinal issues and many more. When it comes to having options, the more the merrier right? Especially, when the option comes with no side-effects. Say hello to homeopathy.
Homeopathy treatment in eczema
Homeopathy treatment in eczema offers a very safe and sound approach. Atopic dermatitis is a skin condition that may very well be associated with other medical conditions such as asthma and allergy rhinitis and psychological variables such as stress and trauma. Diagnosis of this disease becomes much easier for the doctor if he/she has the patient’s medical and genetic history. In homeopathy, it is imperative to go through all the components before coming up with a medication. Customized remedies are given by examining all the factors and finding correlation between them. Homeopathy has worked wonders when it comes to treating chronic disorders. Choose homeopathy and you are in safe hands.
Bottom line
Yes, eczema can be very irritating but it can be treated. Taking homeopathic medicine for eczema is the best option and it trumps all other medications.
