Eczema Treatment Care

Question by veija02: My 6 year old son has eczema and has since birth. I recently took him to the doctor for coughing and runny?
nose, and she told me that he had wheezing in his lungs and that because he had eczema, that he would develop asthma and that a small percentage of children that have eczema develop ashtma later in life. I have never heard of this and can find no relation between the two on the net. I don’t want to give my child a medication that he does not need. Does anyone else have any information on this? Please help.

Eczema is a form of allergy and they do and can go together. I have sever allergies but do not have normal astma I have sports ashtma. You want to try that in a google.
There are many sites on what you ask. Webmd, Mayo Clinic has a site. And I would try this google to…latex allergies..Because I am allergic to latex properties and get eczema from being exposed to it. It may have helpful idea on how to lower allergens in your home to help him out. Well i know it does. I even use the information for my car so i do not touch or inhale things.

Question by : is this is a birth mark or eczema or something else? can it go away?
i have a HUGE mark on my stomach. it literally takes up half of my stomach. but im not sure if its really a birthmark. my mom thinks it may be eczema, but what does eczema look like? my mark is dark brown, patchy, and rough feeling with little bumps. my little sister has eczema, but i’ve never had any problems with dry skin. i put lotion on it every day. besides, i’ve had it ever since i can remember. my parents don’t know if i’ve had it since birth. if you think its eczema what can i do to make it go away? or if it isn’t eczema than what is it?

pictures of eczema or other conditions may help me figure out mine, so that would help me a lot thanks!
i forgot, my sister also has a very small patch like mine on her forehead.

I would guess you have eczema, it’s a flora bacteria and once it takes hold, it’s there forever. It will always show on you, either as rough skin darker then the rest, or reddish and rough. You can put a number of things from the Walmart drug store on it to make it so it doesn’t show so much. My own daughter never wore skirts or shorts because she was always ashamed of her legs and what they looked like.
We both go to a dermatologist and get shots every week now to halt our allergies, the shots Xolair are on special request and have to be approved are $ 2400.00 a month but can be approved by the drug company and they will pay. See your doctor for more facts.

Question by Cloud9er: Can birth control make your Eczema worse?
So I went off of the pill (Ortho-Cyclen) about three weeks ago and my obnoxious spot of Eczema on my my forehead seems to have hardly flared up at all since then….I’m contemplating going back on the pill tonight but I’m worried that it’ll get bad again…Has anyone else out there noticed a correlation between the two?

I’ve posted this before but had no response, I really need advice by 2pm pacific.

Just as pregnancy can make eczema worse, birth control can also make eczema worse.
I would try a low hormone birth control pill instead of ortho tri-cyclen.
