AVOIDING ALLERGIES

AVOIDING ALLERGIES

HOMOEO CALL KNOWING THE CAUSE IS IMPORTANT TO HANDLE ECZEMA

There are times when the skin cells could get irritated and
appear as dry, flaky or scaly and lifeless and could get
associated with an itching sensation.Dermatitis or Eczema is a
condition in which there is an inflammation or irritation of
the superficial layer that leads to itching. The commonest cause
of Eczema is Atopy and is widespread in children in the first
three years of life. Allergy causes Dermatitis.
A metal watchstrap;artificial jewellery, bindis etc cause a skin
lesion and later spreads to other parts of the body.
It is termed as contact Dermatitis. Seborrheoic Eczema occurs
when the skin is more vulnerable over the scalp and areas where
the moistness is prevalent like armpits,axillae etc people
suffering from Varicose Veins are also prone to Eczema if the
stasis of the blood in the superficial veins causes itching etc.
In all types of eczema there is redness,thickness and itching of
the area with scarred surfaces that tend to heal and form black
and thick patches.These areas could be the size of a coin or more
widespread and could occur simultaneously at many areas of the
body.
When unavoidable like detergents one could use a pair of gloves,
footwear when working in those areas for example. Moisturizer
should be applied immediately and also after a bath within five
minutes of drying.Cotton should be worn most of the time.
Homoeopathic medicine has good remedies to soothe, smooth and
hydrate the skin by correcting the inflammatory response.
Remedies like Mercurius, Graphitis help in rooting out allergic
responses and the moist skin due to infection while Sulphur
removes the tendency even as Sasaparilla brings life to dry skin.
