ec·ze·ma
(ek's?-m?, eg'z?-, ig-ze'-)
A noncontagious inflammation of the skin, characterized chiefly
by redness, itching, and the outbreak of lesions that may discharge
serous matter and become encrusted and scaly.
Eczema & Dermatitis
Exema also known as atopic dermatitis is the chronic
allergic skin disorder. The condition is a hypersensitivity
reaction similar to an allergy, causing inflammation of the
hands, scalp, face and back.
What Are the Symptoms?
No matter which part of the skin is affected, eczema is almost
always itchy. Sometimes the itching will start before the rash
appears, and most commonly occurs on the face, knees, hands,
or feet, but may also affect other areas.
Affected areas usually appear very dry, thickened, or scaly.
In fair-skinned people, these areas may initially appear reddish
and then turn brown. Among darker-skinned people, eczema can
affect pigmentation, making the affected area lighter or darker.
In infants, the itchy rash can produce an oozing, crusting
condition that occurs mainly on the face and scalp, but patches
may appear anywhere.
Do You Suffer From Exema (Eczema)
Millions
of people, including parents of small children, are searching
for natural sources of healing for their sensitive, red, itchy
skin. While some have had suitable results through the use of
topical steroid creams and lotions (for example, hydrocortisone
and betamethasone), many others have shunned them all together
due to the unpleasant and sometimes dangerous side effects.
The source or cause of eczema is unknown. While genetics and
heredity may play a role, it is often related to various forms
of dermatitis, which can be triggered by numerous things. Itchy,
red, scaly skin often indicates an allergic reaction. Common
triggers include pets, plants, laundry detergents, soaps and
scented lotions, dust mites, foods (mainly dairy, eggs, nuts,
and soy), and drug interactions or side-effects.
Eczema is not particularly hard to diagnose for a physician.
It manifests itself anywhere on the body, and in children quite
often in the joints (in the creases of the elbows or behind
the knees).
In adults it often appears in areas like the hands as they
are constantly exposed to water or cleaning agents. It can appear
as dryness, scaly skin, weeping bumps, and as various other
forms. It is very important to have your skin diagnosed by your
healthcare provider to determine an exact diagnosis.

Toners are out. Using alcohol to suck out every
ounce of oil and makeup from the skin is usually doing far more
harm than good. Why? Because the oils are protectants, not assailants.
You need them on the skin to help heal damage and keep the skin
smooth and healthy. What is bad about oil is that it builds
up, combines with dead skin cells, and then clogs pores.
