Eczema Itch Relief
Eczema nubular thermatitis?
My daughter has turned 6 yrs. old and for about a year she's had eczema nubular thermatitis that's how the poor Dr. called it. I've used esteroids ointments, anti fungul ointments and well nothing has change. I dn't bathed her I shower her I cleanse her face with Dove no fragance soap. I mosturised her face with Lubriderm lotion. And that's how I've relief her from itching and alterating her eczema but it just doesn't go away. What can I do besides to get rid of it? the only are where she has it is on her left chic and the size of a quater and shape too.
I'm sorry to say but you can never get rid of eczema....
I've had it on and off all my life since I was born...I'm now 26!
Trust me I reckon I've tried all lotions and potions doctors,and other professional people have reccomended...
Don't use to much steriod based creams for her as it actually can do her more harm than good later down the track...again take it from one who knows! I've got too much cortosine (or however you spell it) in my liver and as a result I find it hard to loose weight...I know liver and weight don't normally go hand in hand but heh I'm no doc...
Maybe just try aloe vera gel/cream or vitamin E.....NON PERFUMED cream is a must...
I also take Evening Primrose Oil and Flaxseed Oil tablets and they help control it, but like I said she's stuck with it for life....probably be one of the lucky ones though, and not get it so severe in later life..
Hope this has been of some help...any more questions, don't hesitate to ask me!!

Dermatitis Skin Care Tips for Itching Relief
Dermatitis is one of the most common skin problems. And even when taking into account all the steps to proper skin care you can suffer from it.
The term dermatitis means "inflammation of the skin" and it refers to either inflammation or swelling, many people often refers to dermatitis as eczema. If I had to name the biggest sign of dermatitis, it would be severe itching; sufferers are often scratching themselves heavily to find a type of relief - that by the way comes only for some seconds. As the condition gets more severe, the urge to scratch the skin increases to the point that you can't resist it!
Scratching though, isn't of any help, in fact it can worsen the skin condition. Over time, it will form bump on your skin and will leave it irritated. Scratching is an easy way to get a skin infection.
In order to treat dermatitis, you have to know the cause. It can be hard to know what is triggering the dermatitis, even with the help of a doctor it can take some time, however you can follow some tips for dermatitis skin care:
-Take anthistamines. These products are great to relieve the itching sensation. However, keep in mind that these products cause drowsiness, so they may be not that great to use during work.
-Use hydrocortisone cream. Personally, I've found great relief using these types of cream, however they are not good as a long term strategy since they can have certain side effects.
-Cool the itching areas. Instead of scratching, use cool compresses, they are more effective than scratching and don't leave any effects. Use the cloth compress on the itching area for 10 minutes every hour to be itch-free.
-Bathe with oatmeal based soaps. These soaps are mild and will help you find relief. You can even add directly oatmeal into the water if you bathe in a hot tub. I've found this works better than using soaps on a shower.
Remember that when you have dermatitis, you must engage into proper skin care. What at first may seem like extra work, soon will integrate into your daily life and you'll recover the health on the skin.
