1. All eczema is commonly due to allergies and dry skin combined.
2. All alergies has resistance levels. This means if you give a product today and it was OK then that does not mean that person is not allergetic to it. Tomorow the same product can trigger allergies.
3. Protiens are the source of major allergies. Try to introduce protien rich food later. Also avoid milk, potatoes, wheat, eggs (esp. whites), sea-food, food colors, artificial food favorings and nuts.
4. Keep the child away if you are cooking in your home. I found that the smell of allergy causing food also creates allergies.
5. Keep a log of daily activities including food / drinks, motion and irritations. If you keep the log it will be easier to find the problem foods.
6. Give one food for one week without switching. Start with rice and carrots or rice and broccoli (choose one). Give the same food for a week. If severe allergies are noted then remove it from diet and introduce a new one. Any one food introduced should be given continously for 1 week.
7. After giving a bath pat with a towel slightly leaving a film of water in the skin. Seal that to skin by applying thick gel like plain Vaseline. Many creams also create allergies so be careful in using creams other than plain unscented Vaseline. Also do not use the baby oil - many kids are allergic to mineral oil.
8. The allergies becomes severe if you reintroduce the same allergic food again and again but may go away if you remove it from diet for long periods like more than a month.
9. Angry and sad moods of child make the situation worse. I know that a child with eczema takes parents to the edge and many times we may become harsh. Try to keep your child happy.
10. An unconventional treatment, NAET worked well for my grandson. For people I have referred it did not work well since it depends a lot on the practitioner. For my granddaughter we did not take treatment since we knew a lot about eczema and could control it well.
11. It is late to tell you but it is best to introduce the solids a little late to kids with eczema.
12. If your child has severe itch, ask him/her to scratch using the back of the nails by scratching backwards (in the opposite direction of normal scratch). You can also scratch him like that. Less damage occurs by scratching reverse.
Children with Eczema
Survey says one out of ten children gets eczema. It appears, typically before the age of five. Upon seeing rashes on your kid, consult a pediatrician and a dermatologist immediately to confirm the diagnosis. Babies and children up to 5 years old get eczema on the forehead and cheeks, normally red, inflamed rashes with bumps.
These become even painful for kids when the eczema develops with fluid-filled blisters that may eventually burst. For older children, eczema develops on knees, wrists, ankles and elbows like round red scaly patches.
Bear in mind that your child needs not to be isolated from other people because eczema is not dangerous and contagious.
So you don’t have to stop your kid from going to school. You can avoid the flare up by doing the following prevention and tips. • Give your child clothes made of cotton.
This help the skin breathe and cool down. Also, the scratchy feeling in reduced as well. • Use mild and gentle soap with warm water when bathing. Fragrance free soaps are gentle on skin.
Use a cloth to apply the soap and never rub the skin roughly. • Regular moisturizing of the skin could help. Use creams and ointments that are advised by the doctor to maintain the skin’s moisture and reduce irritability.
• Tell your child to avoid scratching and rubbing the affected areas. This may just worsen the situation and in the long run, start up painful flare.
• Make sure to keep your child’s nails trimmed down and clean.
• Keep your environment clean and dust-free. Also restrict pets on some areas at home. Visit http://tinyurl.com/Psoriasis-f1
