Eczema Eye Area
Eczema over my 2 year old's eye. Any advice or tips?
My daughter has eczema over her eye. It began when she was away from me with her dad for his summer visitation last month. We have been perscribed Elidel.
Does anyone use this themselves or for their children?
Do you know of any side effects personally?
I have read alot on the internet. Her eye looks really bad. It doesn't help that it just started getting 100 degrees here (DFW area, TX) I am putting the Elidel on her eye as directed. She can't use a steroid cream because they have been known to cause cataracts and even blindness when used directly over the eye. So I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with this... My poor baby looks so sad
Elidel has the least amount of side effects. It's the safest drug for a baby with eczema. If it doesn't start to get better after 2 or 3 days, call the doctor back and let them know.
If you have gone to the ped, it would be helpful to see a dermatologist instead. Pediatricians and family practice docs frequently misdiagnose things having to do with skin.
Don't use any steroids without a prescription, the side effects can be extreme, as you already know.
Reasons Why You Have Dark Circles Under Eyes - Revealed!
If you have dark circles under eyes, you might think that you have a medical problem. The truth is that it is most likely not caused by any medical or internal problem, although it is one of the top two problems that dermatologists are concerned about.
One thing is for sure though, having these dark circles and eye bags will get you looks that are embarrassing, humiliating, and it will definitely make you look a lot older than your age because you’ll appear stressed out and overworked.
Before discussing the things that will help you get rid of dark circles under eyes, you must first know the probable causes why you have these. Namely:
1) Nasal congestion - When you are experiencing nasal congestion, the veins from your eyes drain onto the nose area and in the end this leads to darker and dilated eyes and under eyes.
2) Eyelid swelling - Because of gravity, some fluids swell and form in your eyelids as you sleep, thus leading to dark circles.
3) From other skin diseases - There are other skin conditions that lead to dark under eyes like atopic eczema.
4) Inherited - Yes, even dark circles can be congenital because of your parents’ genes.
5) Lack of sleep - Most people know that the reason for dark circles under eyes can be lack of sleep.
6) Lifestyle - If you are smoking or you are exposed to UVA light too often, you will have dark eye bags.
7) Womanly cycles - When you are pregnant or you are having your monthly period, your skin will look pale; thus, your under eyes, even if they’re not that dark, will show.
8) Make-up reactions - If you like putting on eye liner under your eyes and you are allergic to it or you do not remove it properly, it might affect your under eyes.
9) Vitamin intake - Less vitamin intake can also lead to having dark eye bags.
Now that you know the causes, it is now time to know the natural remedies you can use to prevent it from darkening even more.
- Slices of cucumber - Put cold slices of cucumber on your eyes for about 20 minutes. You can also use potatoes. By doing this, you will be able to let the blood circulation in your under eye area flow better.
- Almond powder + milk cream - Mix these two ingredients and gently massage it on the affected area. This is a good home remedy and it best done before you sleep.
- Lemon or tomato juice - A drop of lemon or tomato juice under your eyes will also help in eliminating dark circles. However, when you are doing this, make sure that you do not spill juice into your eyes because it might hurt. These fruits have high acidity.
- Diet - Adjust your diet. If you have been drinking lots of caffeinated drinks, it would be best if you cut down on it a bit. Fatty foods and sugared foods and drinks also lead to this. Make sure that you take everything in moderation.
These are natural home remedies that you can follow. This is a better way to eliminate dark circles instead on relying on eye creams that do not work and even lead to side effects causing your dark circles under eyes to darken more.
