What is eczema? Eczema is a skin condition, which is medically called as atopic dermatitis.
This is a skin condition that could be inherited or may run in the genes.
The skin becomes very sensitive to many irritants and foodstuff.
What happens when infected by Eczema? The first thing a patient develops is dry scaly patches in a characteristic distribution, which is typical of eczema.
These scaly patches begin to itch.
The degree of itchiness is varied and it becomes very difficult to resist scratching.
It becomes very difficult to curb the itchiness and rubbing of the sore parts begins.
The skin in these infected parts now begins to thicken and darken further aggravating and resulting in bacterial infection.
Sometimes the extreme scaling can result in break down and could begin to ooze or weep the pus conditions.
Once the external abrasion and scratching can be controlled, then the rashes can be brought into control.
How can eczema be treated? There is no known medical cure for eczema.
Controlling the allergens or the triggers of eczema should be the first step.
To a certain extent change of diet could contribute to effectively treating it.
The main treatment is to rehydrate the skin.

Topical applications using the extracts of nuts like almonds and natural oils could help abate the dryness.
This is a skin condition that affects people all over the world.
The skin reacts according to the climatic conditions of the geographic region.
Native alternate remedies are very effective and help to a large extent to control the disease.
Are there any medical prescriptions for Eczema? Oral antihistamines are used to bring the itch-scratch cycle into control.
These medications will stop the inflammatory response of the skin to external stimuli that cause eczema.
A lot of research and experimentation has gone into treating the disease with Ultra violet rays and other light therapy.
The process and the results are yet to be verified and established as procedures of treatment for eczema.
