The word eczema comes from the Greek word that means to effervesce or bubble or boil over. It’s important to remember that many people have eczema. Over 30 million American may have it. There is no need to be embarrassed by your eczema. You are not alone. Generally, people with eczema suffer from dry, sensitive skin. Eczema is also known for its intense itch. The itch may be so bad that you scratch your skin until it bleeds, which can make your rash even worse, leading to even more inflammation and itching. This is called the itch-scratch cycle.

What Causes Eczema?

The exact cause of eczema is unknown, but it’s thought to be linked to an overactive response by the body’s immune system to an irritant. It is this response that causes the symptoms of eczema
In addition, eczema is commonly found in families with a history of other allergies  or asthma. Also, defects in the skin barrier could allow moisture out and germs in.
Some people may have “flare-ups” of the itchy rash in response to certain substances or conditions. For some, coming into contact with rough or coarse materials may cause the skin to become itchy. For others, feeling too hot or too cold, exposure to certain household products like soap or detergent, or coming into contact with animal dander may cause an outbreak. Upper respiratory infections or colds may also be triggers. Stress may cause the condition to worsen.

FIRST STEPS TO TREATING ECZEMA

If you have eczema, it is important to take good care of your skin. Take warm (not hot!) baths on a regular basis and immediately applying moisturizers afterward will help keep your skin moist. You’ll find more information about this in the bathing and moisturizing section. In order for prescription medications to be most effective, a proper bathing and moisturizing regimen is required.

ECZEMA PREVENTION CHECK LIST:

  • Moisturize every day.
  • Wear cotton or soft fabrics. Avoid rough, scratchy fibers and tight clothing.
  • Take lukewarm baths and showers, using mild soap or non-soap cleanser
  • Gently pat your skin dry with a soft towel – do not rub.
  • Apply a moisturizer within 3 minutes after bathing to “lock in” moisture.
  • When possible, avoid rapid changes of temperature and activities that make you sweat.
  • Learn your eczema triggers and avoid them.
  • Use a humidifier in dry or cold weather.
  • Keep your fingernails short to help keep scratching from breaking the skin.
  • Some people with allergies find it helps to remove carpets from their house, and give pets dander treatments.

Farmers crack own record with 'world's biggest egg'

Two weeks ago, a German chicken-farming couple thought themselves lucky when they discovered a sizeable 184-gram egg - until their hen laid an even bigger one. A couple in Lower Saxony who farm chickens "as a hobby" were pleasantly surprised a couple weeks ago when they came upon a 184-gram egg in their coop - more than twice the size of an average jumbo chicken egg. But this week Ingrid and Günther Meyne were amazed to discover an even bigger egg - this one weighing 209 grams and dubbed by DPA news agency to be perhaps the largest egg in the world. Ingrid and Günther Meyne show off their huge egg. Photo: DPA. The Natural History Museum of Braunschweig nearby now wants to put the egg on display, said museum scientist André Koch. So, what is the secret to the oversized ovals? It remains a mystery. The Meynes say they nourish their ten free-range chickens with a normal feed of vegetables and grains. Story continues below… The chicken breeders are still no...

Aid worker rescues two-year-old Nigerian boy 'accused of being a witch' A heartbreaking series of photographs shows the moment an emaciated two-year-old Nigerian boy, riddled with worms and reportedly abandoned by his family because they thought he was a witch, is given water by an aid worker.

The child is carried to safety    Photo: Anja Ringgren Lovén/Facebook In the pictures –  which went viral online  bringing in 1 million Danish Krone (£104,000) from wellwishers - she is seen helping him drink water. She then wrapped the boy in a blanket and took him to the nearest hospital. After two days of care, she wrote that his condition had greatly improved. “He’s taking food for himself, and he responds to the medic...
