There are three kinds of rashes that babies tend to develop. If the cause is not chicken pox or poison ivy it has to be eczema. In such a case the skin will turn scaly, red and it will develop sores. If the itching exceeds a limit the skin will start shedding in the form of scales. Eczema is also known as Dermatis. Dermatis means skin inflammation and here the skin tends to turn sore and pink. This is a very common problem. It has been found out that one in every ten children tend to suffer from this problem and this is below the age group of five. Once the child becomes a teenager there are less chances of this problem occurring.

Dry skin is just one of the problems that eczema creates, the other is the fact that the skin tends to itch terribly. Eczema is chronic and it can occur periodically. A special kind of cell that is present in the body will react to any foreign body that comes in contact with the skin. Here the skin inflammation takes place only to protect it. Some of the foreign bodies that are harmful may cause the skin to over react as they trigger out the reaction in self-defense. This can make the skin terribly sore, red and itchy. These special cells are present in large quantities in children who have eczema.

Generally if diseases like asthma, general allergies or hay fever are present in the family, the baby has a higher chance of getting eczema. This problem is passed down from the parents and is present in the genes. Researchers have found out that babies who have eczema have smaller chances of developing hay fever or asthma later in life. One good thing about eczema is that it is not contagious. There are many symptoms that help in identifying eczema. The first and foremost is the rash. Initially it might seem like the rashes are disappearing but they are sure to return back. Though eczema rashes are known to itch badly, this need not be the case always. These rashes always start from inside the elbows and behind the knees and then gradually spread to the other body parts.

There are many other kinds of rashes that can be formed besides eczema; only a doctor would generally be able to distinguish a normal rash from eczema. If it is confirmed that the rashes are due to eczema the child will have to use lotions or moisturizing creams in order to stop the skin from drying and also to stop the itchiness. In case the rashes do not stop the doctor may prescribe corticosteroids. This can be in the form of cream or ointment, which has to be applied to control the inflammation of the skin. Antihistamine can also be taken for severe swelling. This is available in either in the form of a liquid or as a pill. The doctors will definitely prescribe an antibiotic in case the itching has produced infection.

Certain substances trigger eczema. Children who are prone to eczema should avoid these substances. These substances could be soaps, detergents, hot and sweaty skin, dry air (during winters), and perfumes. Skin irritation can increase when it comes in contact with certain fabrics or dust mites. Even if there is severe itching the child must refrain from scratching it severely since it will only cause the skin to itch more and it will also help in spreading infection. In case of severe scratching the skin can sometimes break and bleed and this is what causes the infection to spread. The best remedy to this is to wet a cloth with cool water and place it on the area where there is severe itching. Parents should ensure that the nails of the children are cut short in order to avoid the skin from tearing when the child scratches it. Most importantly the patient should drink lots of water since this helps in keeping the skin moist.

I’m looking for some good Natural remedies for my babies Eczema.
Adding some details.
He has some dry patchy blochies all over his chest/back, legs and arms. It is hard to see intill he bathes or wears clothes and gets hot, then it turns red. It does not seem to bother him in the least bit. I have taken him to the Doctor 4 times for the same condition and each time I get the same results. This first accured at the age or three months, around the time I moved to Japan…

The only form of holistic treatment that will cure eczema, psoriasis and other major skin problems is Homeopathy. Anything else you do will just be palliative — it may work as long as you keep using "something" and the problem will always reoccur.
Pharma. preparations that contain cortisone are known to suppress/damage your immune system, which leads to major and worse health problems in the future.
You can find a registered professional homeopathic doctor through www.homeopathy.org in the U.S. or through a professional organization in whatever country you live in. These organizations maintain a register of highly trained certified people who know what they’re doing.
