Avatar m tn My little boy has eczema and we also have a swimming pool (which he loves). We have been told by our doctor that we will need to immediately bath him after swimming and we were wondering if switching our pool to a salt water system (the system turns the salt into chlorine) would help him be less itchy. The also offer a peroxide system for keeping the pool clean. Is one better than the other regarding his eczema?

DO they mean that prior use could cause PVC's some time later or that while using and having those substances in your systems cuase PVCs?

Avatar f tn He has been prescribed several creams, none of which work very well. The eczema is on his lower legs and arms, is extremely itchy, large areas are raised, crusty, and often bleeding & infected due to his scratching. The doctors have suggested he have allergy testing. All of this makes sense to me based on the research I've done, but my husband has one other symptom that the doctors say is part of the eczema, but I haven't seen it mentioned in any literature.

Avatar m tn Medical research shows that the most effective treatment plan for eczema involves using a combination of therapies to treat the skin and making lifestyle changes(prevention of triggers and application of lots of moisturizers) to control flare-ups. Other than steroids liberal use of good quality moisturizers helps in controlling the itch associated with eczema. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar m tn Apply some calamine lotion on the affected area and keep the area well moisturized. Use only thin applications of moisturizer ointments as excessive amounts of ointment may restrict breathing of the skin and aggravate the condition. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
Avatar n tn I was given daktacort hydrocortisine to manage the flare-ups which has controlled the eczema. However after using the cream for about 3 months I began to develop an area of redness on one side of my nose which goes across my cheek bone. It seems to be very sensitive to the sun, after I wash my face and in certain environments. Grateful for your advice.
