Treatment of eczema with folk remedies and methods
Eczema is a neuro-allergic, chronic disease of the outer layers of the skin, characterized by itching and the appearance of nodules, vesicles, ulcers and scales. Eczema, as a rule, has a long, chronic course. Most often, eczema manifests itself in the elbow and knee folds, as well as on the face, but can affect any parts of the body.
The development of eczema is associated with malfunctions in the central nervous system, the immune and endocrine systems.
Several forms of eczema differ: true, in which there is a development of edema, small vesicles;microbial - develops in the presence of chronic foci of infection, manifested by the development of scalloped foci;professional - under the influence of various harmful substances;Seborrhea - develops in patients with seborrhea.
Treatment should primarily focus on removing the factor that caused eczema. Patients should limit themselves in the use of products containing allergens( spices, cocoa, etc.).
Symptoms: , first red spots of different size appear on the skin, on which small bubbles with clear liquid are visible. When the vesicles are opened, the wetting surfaces are exposed, some of the vesicles are squeezed into crusts. In the long course of the disease, the process can spread to large areas of the skin. The disease is usually accompanied by severe itching. More details about the symptoms of this disease look here.
What's going on? The development of eczema is greatly influenced by disorders of the nervous and endocrine and immune systems, metabolic processes, functional state of the gastrointestinal tract, dysbiosis. Determining the source of the disease is not easy.
Often the cause of eczema is a skin allergic reaction to food( milk, eggs, wheat flour, etc.) or medicines. Allergies can cause animal hair, as well as woolen clothes and blankets. Washing powders are also one of the possible allergens. Another allergen is nickel, which is often added to inexpensive ornaments and bracelets for watches. If an allergen is detected and it is excluded from the "circle of contacts", complete recovery is possible.
In addition to allergies, eczema can also provoke nervous tension. In this case, the sedatives prescribed by the doctor will help.
What should I do? Treatment of eczema should be comprehensive, aimed at normalizing disturbed processes and strictly individual. First, a thorough examination is needed to identify the causes of the disease. Treatment of eczema usually goes in two directions: local, whose goal is to alleviate skin manifestations, and general, aimed at eliminating the pathology of internal organs, nervous and endocrine systems. Local treatment depends on the stage of the disease. With redness and unopened blisters apply "boltushki" and powder: talc, starch, zinc. With a wetting skin - cooling lotions and compresses without cotton wool, with disinfectant fluids. With chronic eczema - hot local baths( only in case of good individual tolerance), warming compresses and absorbing ointments with tar, sulfur, etc.
