Children Health Issues: Eczema Victoria Brunson January 29,2010

What is Eczema? According to Health, Safety, and Nutrition for the Young Child, eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin condition. According to emedicinehealth, eczema is also known as dermatitis.

Different degrees of Eczema

Signs The exact cause of eczema is unknown until this day. Caused by an abnormal immune system response and associated with allergies Triggers: soaps, detergents, weather (hot, cold, humid, or dry), environmental allergens, jewelry, creams, food handling, clothing, sweating, gloves, rubbing, bacteria, emotional or mental stress

Symptoms Intense itching Rash; patchy/flaky or scaly dry skin Rash burns If scratched, oozes and becomes crusty Painful cracks Reddened patches of irritated skin

Hands-on look of Eczema

Management Eczema is not curable but can be controlled. Eliminating environmental allergens can be a step taken to reduce exposure. Letting children to know not to scratch skin and to keep skin moisturized, especially after bathing. Keep in warm weather, dress in light and loose fitting clothing and also reducing stress in the lives and help them develop a healthy self-image

Treatment Prescription-strength steroid cream and antihistamine medication are the usual treatments. Diet restrictions and chemical skin-drying agents may also be offered, but their success is controversial. For severe cases not responding to high-potency steroid cream, alternate treatments may be tried. These include coal tar, PUVA (psoralen + ultraviolet A light), and chemotherapy agents.

Treatment Antihistamines - Prescription strength antihistamines relieve symptoms without drowsiness, allowing you to carry on with your normal activities. Corticosteroids - A short course of an oral steroid is sometimes given if the rash is severe. A long course is rarely prescribed because of the many side effects. Antibiotic pills or an antifungal cream may be prescribed if your health care provider is concerned about infection.
