Eczema In Children Hands
problem with the soap causing eczema at school?
My son has eczema. The soap at school causes his eczema to react painfully. He is therefore not able to wash his hands with soap whilst at school. I don't think this is acceptable. When my wife told his teacher, all the teacher suggested was 'have him bring his own soap'. Fine, but I'm not entirely happy with this solution. Can anyone tell me if the soap should be changed to accommodate children who have allergic reactions? Please excuse me being blunt but disabled kids get ramps and schools typically make everyone accommodate kids who have allergies, i.e. peanut allergies, whereby no one else is allowed to bring peanuts into school. This is in the UK. Any suggestions? Many thanks.
To those who just flamed me - get lives dudes - life's too short to just play at getting a high score on Yahoo Answers. To those who gave sensible answers - thanks - ClaireWK and E R cool answers - Yes, life is too short to make an issue of it... Thanks guys.
i have exactly the same with my son who attends a nursery attached to infant school. dreadful excema inside the wrists, on fingers and back of hands - all related to their soap. so he doesn`t use soap, just dermol cream after washing with water. i don`t think it`s worth getting stressed over, there are worse things in life, just provide your own (suggest something good on prescription as it`ll be free).
don`t get me wrong, i get where you are coming from totally as i`m there myself - however, not worth making an issue out of in my opinion.
Types Of Eczema - Determine The Different Types Of Eczema
Aside from the general definition of eczema which is the inflammation of the first layer of the skin, the epidermis, it also has specific types and divided into sub categories or types of eczema. This article provides you with the most common and less occurring classes of eczema.
Most common:
*Atopic eczema. This type of eczema is theorized to be a hereditary disease common among infants. It is believed to be an allergic reaction and goes along with asthma. The redness appears in the butt, cheeks, knees, and elbows.
*Contact dermatitis. This one among the types of eczema is classified in to two classes, the allergic and the irritant type. The allergic type is caused by allergens such as dust mites while the irritant type is caused by a reaction to chemicals like detergents.
*Xerotic eczema. This condition is more of a kind that developed from having dry skin and aggravated by exposure to extremes of temperatures. The skin can be observed as a scaly, flaky and over dried skin that resembles a drought torn land.
Less common types
*Dishydrosis eczema. Vesicles or bumps with cracks and thickening that overly itch in the night are commonly found in the hands, palm of the hands, sides of the fingers and in the fingers.
Discoid eczema. A disc shaped pustule found in the knees, elbows and in the trunk is the manifestation of this skin disease. Like all the other types of eczema, it is also a very itchy type with scaling and bleeding.
*Varicose eczema. Red blisters and patches appear around the varicose veins which make a diseased appearance of the affected part. The affected parts are usually the lower legs and this eczema is common among obese people.
These are the types of eczema that vary in characteristics but can be very disturbing, unpleasant to the eyes and may complicate if not treated right away.
