Eczema and Dry Skin

Do milk baths help with eczema?

I was wondering if they work as a treatment..but here are my concerns I know some people say to put scents lavenders in your milk baths but i have eczema and i don’t want it to get worse…so help? thankss=]

I would stay away from scents.

In my experience, doctors will prescribe steroids as sort of a cure all to treat eczema symptoms when they aren’t sure on how to cure the underlying problem. You should be concerned about steroid use as there are a lot of unwanted side effects like weight gain and high blood pressure.

Focus on treating the underlying cause of your eczema and minimize flare ups by:

- Bathing using warm, not hot, water and a very mild soap.
- Use a petroleum jelly based moisturizer on wet skin after bathing or washing hands.
- Moisturize with the petroleum jelly based moisturizer throughout the day as needed. Don’t use lotions – they dry out the skin.
- Pat, don’t rub, excess water from skin after moisturizing as rubbing will irritate the skin.
- Wear 100% cotton clothing.
- Avoid the use of detergents, fabric softeners, and dryer sheets with perfumes and/or dyes.

I found an excellent article on this website about how a woman with severe eczema finally beat it — http://tinyurl.com/kv6pvs

Handbook of Atopic Eczema $219 Atopic eczema (eczema, atopic dermatitis, diffuse neurodermatitis, endogenous eczema) is one of the most common skin diseases of our time — not only in childhood. The prevalence of this disease has increased dramatically over the past decades, although the reasons for this increase are not known. Eczema occurs anywhere in the world, not only in industrialized countries. It occurs at any age, not only in childhood, and approximately two-thirds of children affected will suffer from this disease when they are grown up. Written by leading experts in their field, this second edition of the excellent handbook of atopic eczema comprises the state of the art in pathophysiology, clinical medicine, and therapeutic management. It demonstrates that there is no simple “miracle” cream, pill, or diet for this disease, but that a disturbed barrier function can only be repaired by adequate and individualized skin care. It also shows how unspecific anti-inflammatory treatment has to be individually tailored according to body area affected, patient age, and severity of skin lesions. All physicians treating patients with atopic eczema will find this book most helpful in their painstaking search for the individual causal or eliciting factors, which is the only basis for rational treatment and prevention of this disease.
