7 Tips While Waiting for a Cure for Eczema
If you are the parent of a child with eczema, you know how
uncomfortable this condition can make your child. You have
undoubtedly wondered during treatment if there is a cure for
eczema. Unfortunatly, there isn't. However, there are treatment
options available for your child.
1- When a flare up of eczema happens, the use of antihistamines
can be very affective in reducing the itching that will
accompany it. However, antihistamines can cause drowsiness,
especially in children.
2- The most common form of prescription that acts as a stand in
for the cure for eczema is corticosteroids. While these can be
very effective for reducing the redness and itching that are
associated with eczema, they are not recommended for young
children.
3- One of the most newest advancements in the hunt for the cure
for eczema are topical immunomodulators (TIMs). These new drugs
reduce the redness and itching of eczema without the use of
steroids. The abcesnce of steroids means that the TIMs are safe
for use in children.
4- There are some treatments that can be used in conjuntion with
the medicines as you wait for a cure for eczema. The most
important thing you can do for an adult or a child that has the
issue of eczema is to moisturize, this will be the most
effective tool for fighting the symptoms as they
occur.
5- When flare-ups happen, a good course of treatment is to take
a bath in lukewarm water. This doesn't need to be too long,
about five minutes or so, just long enough to get the skin
hydrated. After getting out of the bath, it is important to pat,
not rub the skin dry. Immediately apply a good quality
moisturizing cream, the skin is very receptive to the cream
while it is still damp.
6- To keep comfortable, dress in loose fitting clothing that is
made of 100% cotton. Cotton reduces sweating, which can lead to
eczema outbreaks. Cotton also breaths, keeping the skin drier.
It is best to avoid wool or any other roughly textured material,
as the material can cause eczema flare ups. In fact, if you are
wearing wool, it is best to use a cotton diaper between you and
your child when holding them.
7- Another very effective way to combat flare-ups while waiting
for a cure for eczema is to use cold compresses. The compress
can be as simple as a damp washcloth. Just placing on the
affected skin will help to take away some of the itching and
other discomforts.
