Eczema is a general term for many types of skin inflammation, also known as dermatitis. The most common form of eczema is atopic dermatitis

Eczema is a term for several different types of skin swelling. Eczema is also called dermatitis. It is not dangerous, but most types cause red, swollen and itchy skin. Factors that can cause eczema include other diseases, irritating substances, allergies and your genetic makeup. Eczema is not contagious.

The most common type of eczema is atopic dermatitis. It is an allergic condition that makes your skin dry and itchy. It is most common in babies and children.

Cause of Eczema

  • Abnormal function of the immune system
  • Substances that come in contact with the skin, such as soaps, cosmetics, clothing, detergents, jewelry
  • sweat
  • Environmental allergens
  • psychological stress
  • Changes in temperature or humidity

Symptoms of Eczema

  • Usually the first symptom of eczema is intense itching.
  • The rash appears later. It is patchy and starts out as flaky or scaly dry skin on top of reddened, inflamed skin.
  • The rash itches or burns
  • If it is scratched, it may ooze and become crusty, especially in young children
  • In adults, the patches are more likely to be brownish, scaly, and thickened
  • Painful cracks can develop over time
  • The itching may be so intense that it interferes with sleep

How can eczema be prevented?

  • Moisturize frequently
  • Avoid sudden changes in temperature or humidity
  • Avoid sweating or overheating
  • Reduce stress
  • Avoid scratchy materials (e.g., wool or other irritants)
  • Avoid harsh soaps, detergents, and solvents
  • Avoid environmental factors that trigger allergies (e.g., pollens, molds, mites, and animal dander)
  • Be aware of any foods that may cause an outbreak and avoid those foods

Homeopathic Treatment

The goals for the homeopathic treatment of eczema are to prevent itching, inflammation, and worsening of the condition. Treatment of eczema may involve both lifestyle changes and the use of medications. Treatment is always based upon an individual's age, overall health status, and the type and severity of the condition.

The fundamental strength of homeopathy is that the treatment is targeted at

  1. Genetic components
  2. Coping up with sentimental triggers

Duration of treatment:

The total length of treatment varies form case to case, depending of the following factors:

  2. Areas affected
  3. Extent of spread
  4. Previous medication (Extensive use of oral or local cortisone)

One may expect a definite change in about three to five months, depending on the extent. The total length of medication may be anything between six months to one years or longer.

Why homeopathy for Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)?

Major benefits of homeopathy could be summarized as under:

  • It addresses altered immune system, treating the roots of this autoimmune disease.
  • It is not superficial but deep acting; gives lasting to almost permanent results in most cases.
  • It is absolutely harmless, safe and non-toxic.

In homeopathy, eczema has been considered, understood and treated as an external manifestation of an internal disorder. In other words, eczema is a result of a reactive process of the skin, which may be caused by external or internal factors. Eczema is more of an end result and not a disease by itself. The characteristic reaction shows up at the level of skin in the form of eczematous rash. Any attempt to treat eczema with local application of creams or ointments on the skin, assuming that it is a skin-deep disease, may prove ineffective in the long run. Eczema needs to be tackled at a deeper level in order to treat it from the roots. This is best done with the homeopathic treatment.
