Questions And Answers On Eczema
Wayne asks…
Will my eczema be a problem in getting a tattoo?
I have had eczema ever since i can remember, and it was horrible when I was a kid. However, since i moved to Florida I’ve hardly had a break out in 4 years. Now, i have this awesome tattoo designed and ready to go. I was just wondering if my eczema is going to cause any side-effects and possible infection when i get the tattoo?
admin answers:

What is the difference between psoriasis and eczema?
What is the difference between psoriasis and eczema?
I have a patch of dry scaly red skin on my thigh that is itchy. How can I tell if it is psoriasis or eczema?
admin answers:
My guess is you have eczema a.k.a. Dermatitis. Psoriasis is usually constant, more intense, usually involves a lot of flaking, and can be very widespread. From what you describe it sounds like an occasional localized flare-up, so that’s why I think it’s dermatitis. If this is a rare or one-time occurance, I’m thinking contact dermatitis, meaning you rubbed your thigh against an irritant. If it happens regularly, it may be atopic, meaning it’s most likely triggered by pollen, weather, or food.
Try keeping it moisturized. You may have to experiment with different products to find the one best suited for your skin. If you’re not going to see a doctor, try any of the various OTC steroid-based creams and ointments out there.

How can I get rid of my eczema quick and even permanently?
I have had eczema for all of my life and I’m sick and tired of it. I’ve tried cortisone and cortaid and both just provide a temporary relief if anything. I was wondering if there were any over the counter medications that I could use to get rid if my eczema .
admin answers:
I suffered with eczema as a child and an adolescent and tried everything. The only thing that made it go away at that time was a 3 month detox (less sugar, dairy, starch, salt) coupled with Ayurvedic treatment (herbal) which addresses the cause as opposed to symptoms which western medications treat. I would say I was cured of eczema.
Now after 20 years, in my 40′s the eczema has flared up again. I couldnt bear to go back to the painful herbal /detox treatment so following some research, I decided to tackle the problem myself. Eczema is generally caused by what you eat. The food triggers are unique to each person. I started keeping a diary of everything I consumed and found that my trigger food was chocolate and artificial sugar based products, cakes, ice creams etc. The moment I eliminated these foods from my diet, I started seeing positive results. I am willing to completely give up sugar and chocolates if this will keep my eczema at bay. I am in the recovery phase now and I am keeping my fingers crossed. I hope this information helps. Good luck!

What is the reason as to why eczema cannot be cured?
I myself, like so many other people, have eczema. I’m 16 now and for as long as I can remember, I’ve struggled and struggled with the problems that eczema brings about. Scientists say that eczema cannot be cured, but treated. Can anyone explain to me the reason eczema can’t be cured?
admin answers:
Hi Adrian, the reason that eczema cannot be cured through medications, is because not everyone has the same cause.
Different people get eczema because of different factors. This can vary greatly, and can include factors like diet, clothing, allergies, pets, the weather, the air, smells, stress, and so on.
Because of this, science is unable to find a medication that is going to cover all these bases, no 0ne tablet or medicine is going to be a solution for everyone. This is one of the main reasons as to why eczema cannot be cured.
Another issue is that eczema can change in many people. Meaning that some people can naturally grow out of it, some people get it only now and again, while others suffer with eczema symptoms and dry skin problems all the time.
Virtually all medications treat the symptoms, and rarely the cause. This means that in many cases the symptoms continue to return because the causes of eczema are not being addressed.
This is why a lot of people over the last few years have started to use more natural eczema treatments. The advantages are that they do not have any side effects, they are not expensive, and not only do they treat symptoms, they treat the cause of eczema by making the immune system stronger, so that it has more of a chance of fighting eczema.
If nothing has worked for you in the past, perhaps you need a change of direction. You can get some more free information on how to cure eczema naturally at the resource below. I hope that this has been helpful, take care Adrian.
Cindy asks…
How can you get rid of eczema?
I think it’s eczema. The insides of my elbows are red and flaky and itchy, it also hurts and feels stretched when i bend it. I’ve put a lot of moisturiser on it (aloe vera + cucumber and soya + oat) but they haven’t helped. It only turned yesterday but before that it was relatively okay.
admin answers:
There are hundreds if not thousands of homemade cures for eczema, such as:
homemade eczema cream: just mix oatmeal with water and create a past, which you can apply over the infected area, leave it for at least 15min and then washout using water. If so do not have oatmeal you can use raw honey instead, although oatmeal is more effective (IMO).
You can also take a warm bath with milk, the warm water will open skin spoors and the milk containing hundreds of enzymes will penetrate your skin and slowly kill eczema from inside out!
As I said there are thousands of natural ways to treat eczema, visit http://www.eczemacuretoday.com and find thousands more homemade medicines for skin dermatitis (eczema)
