Skin Allergies Eczema Treatment
My legs won't stop itching!?
I've been to two dermatologists and they both gave me some topical treatments for my legs that don't work. One of the doctors thought is was eczema and the other one said that it was an allergic reaction. I have really bad allergies, but I'm not sure if that's the problem because I've had allergies all my life and this problem just started. My legs get extremely itchy, it even wakes me up at night! My skin isn't dry, and I don't have any red bumps... that is of course until I start itching. Any advice on what this is, and something that will help!!

1. Take a quick shower, not hot water

3 Natural ECZEMA Treatment Solutions
Eczema, also known as Atopic Dermatitis is a non-contagious inflammation of the skin, characterized chiefly by redness, itching, and the outbreak of lesions that may become encrusted and scaly.
Eczema treatments are varied and it may be necessary to try multiple forms to combat this condition. Each of these Eczema treatment solutions is specialized in that they target particular symptoms of the condition.
The primary symptoms of Eczema are inflammation and itching which can be very uncomfortable and frustrating.
Here are 3 Natural Eczema Treatments to Consider:
1) Minor Diet Adjustments
- Consider removing potential allergen foods such as cow milk, processed meats, and foods with high numbers of preservatives. Eliminate one food-group at a time to test the response. This may take a bit of trial and error but food-sensativity is often a contributing factor.
- Be sure to eat a variety of whole foods and maintain a healthy diet.
- Getting tested for food allergies may be a good step.
2) Moisturizers
- Moisturizing is essential to prevent the skin from drying out. It is the most important Eczema treatment in preventing itching and scratching. Emollient Moisturizing creams and ointments should be used on dry (non-wet) skin.
- Creams absorb quickly but usually need to be re-applied frequently. Ointments remain on the surface of the skin longer so fewer applications are necessary.
- Be sure to use fragrance-free moisturizers.
3) Careful Skin-Care is Essential
- Eliminate strong chemicals and detergents by using all-natural products if possible - and wear rubber gloves if you must come in contact with these agents.
- Use non-perfumed soaps to avoid drying your skin.
- Choose fabrics made from 100% breathable cotton. Avoid harsh fabrics such as woolens which may irritate sensitive skin.
- Drink plenty of pure filtered water to hydrate your skin.
- Cover up from the sun and wear a good-quality sun block for skin protection.
Eczema treatments come in many forms, most of which will work to some degree. As any sufferer of Eczema will tell you, this is a disheartening condition due to the pain and discomfort associated with the flare-ups. Doctors say there is no known cure; however, trying these Eczema treatments can bring relief. The key is being consistent with your treatment.
As with all medical conditions you should be properly diagnosed by a doctor to ensure you are using the best methods of treatment for your level of condition.
Understanding your specific triggers is the first step in getting relief from the pain and itch of Eczema. Learn more about how Natural Solutions can help.
