Eczema and depression

admin — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 15:17:20 +0000

What you think about yourself is huge, especially how you view your body image. Obviously eczema, especially severe eczema can make someone a little less confident in their body image.
What do to: If you are feeling depressed, and think it may be linked to eczema visiting a shrink is a must. Nothing is more important then your life, you may have 5 days or 90 years left, you want to be able to enjoy each second without having low self esteem or even having suicidal thoughts. Suck up your pride and book a visit, make no excuses and be completely upfront with whoever you are talking to. Worst case scenario is that you do not enjoy your visit and will not be going back for anymore.
In the end, it is just eczema. Yes, how you look matters in the world, for better or for worse. We would all love to start with a blank slate and have our character determine who we are friends with and how our lives turn out, but that is just one aspect of the equation.
It is just your skin! Even if you have severe eczema most people worth talking to and being around will not judge you for it. Red lesions on your skin do not define you, how you react to it does.

Eczema or Ringworm?

Believe it or not, Eczema looks a whole lot like ringworm, despite the fact that the two illnesses are very different in nature.
Here is a picture of Eczema:

Here is a picture of Ringworm:

The two are not mirror images of each other, but I could not blame someone for getting them mixed up at first sight.
Eczema is much flakier than ringworm. Ringworm has raised ridges on the skin that form a circular lesion.
Eczema is almost always red and can be painful and itchy.
Eczema is not contagious in the least bit while ringworm is very contagious, so it is important for the safety and well being of others around you that you know what exactly is going on with your skin.
Nummular Eczema looks most like ringworm.

If you think you are suffering from either ailment do not be afraid to go to a dermatologist or doctor of some kind. Eczema is not very flattering as far as looks go and it can be itchy and painful. Ringworm is much worse in all aspects, and to top it all off it is very contagious.
Getting information online is great, but it is no substitute for speaking to an expert in real life that knows exactly what is going on. If you have decent health insurance all you should have to pay is a 10-50 dollar co-pay, which is a small price to know what is going on with your skin and what you need to do to get everything back to normal.

Eczema on lips

Having Eczema on your lips is always a tricky situation. One of the worst ways to aggravate your Eczema is to eat foods that are overly salty or acidic. These foods will obviously touch your lips before entering your mouth. Have you ever been in an ocean with an open cut? Have you ever squirted lime or lemon juice on a wound? You are doing the same thing every time you let salty or acidic foods touch your lip eczema.
You need to keep your lips moisturized throughout the day. I suggest putting petroleum jelly or other lip balm treatments on your lips 4-5 times a day.
Eczema is very similar to acne, you can try to avoid breakouts, but you cannot stop everything. If you do get lesions on your skin it is not the end of the world. Eczema lesions are painful and unsightly, but they will get better after a few days. Be sure to treat your lesions with care and do not take this situation lightly.
Keeping your lips moisturized is not only the best way to treat an eczema lesion, it is also the best way to prevent it. In the winter I notice my skin and lips get very dry, this is when Eczema likes to attack. Use lotion, lip balm… anything it takes.
There is no magic cure to eczema, you have to make sure you are taking the proper steps to treating and preventing your lip eczema.

Eczema On Hands – How To Treat It

admin — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 18:52:59 +0000

Eczema anywhere on the body but eczema on hands is particularly unbearable. Apart from the fact that they are constantly visible to others, we use our hands everyday and when they are sore with open wounds we are a distinct disadvantage.

Following are a few effective methods to avoid eczema flare-ups and heal existing eczema on your hands.

1) Find a dermatologically tested skin cream that does not irritate your skin. Emollients are not always the way forward, although they are unperfumed they can cause irritation due to the heavy layer on the skin and not allowing the skin to breathe. If they cause you irritation try a 100% organic cream or a brand cream which has skin friendly ingredients such as vitamin E, aloe.

2) Find out what materials irritate your skin and avoid them where possible. Certain materials such as wool, polyester, rubber and latex are all known offenders. You could always take a skin test to find out for sure.

3) Keep your hands clean. Bacteria on the skin can aggravate existing eczema and cause irritation on clear skin. If you smoke, make sure you wash your hands thoroughly afterwards as nicotine and smoke are high on the skin irritant list. Use a gently, natural soap and moisturize your hands after washing. Frequent moisturizing is always a plus. However, there is a fine balance, don’t over moisturize. Around 3 times a day is sufficient.

4) Try not to scratch or pick the eczema on hands as this will cause itchiness. Any eczema sufferer knows this is nigh impossible but with a bit of discipline it can be achieved. Excruciating as it is when bearing the itch, it only lasts for a few minutes then it is gone. If your hands feel itchy, try washing them in cool water and moisturizing afterwards. This will get rid of the itch, which may have been started due to dryness itself.

If you follow these steps, you should be on your way to healing the eczema on your hands and reduce if not completely eliminate future break-outs of eczema. For a fully comprehensive, natural guide to eliminating eczema, continue to the full step by step guide to Remedy For Eczema On Hands
