Answer by me
WHAT IS ECZEMA?
Eczema is a skin condition that has two distinct components:

Dry, easily irritated skin – children with this condition have a genetic tendency toward dry skin. Moisture is very important for our skin. It helps skin stay healthy. It prevents irritation. It speeds up healing. Moisture essentially helps our skin function better. With eczema, the skin does not retain moisture very well, thus giving it a dry, slightly rough texture and making it prone to irritation. To further complicate matters, this dry, irritated skin is itchy, causing children to scratch frequently. This further irritates and damages the skin, which leads to worse itching and scratching, and so on.
Allergies – children with this condition also have some underlying allergies that are manifested in the skin. When exposed to these allergens, the skin over-reacts and breaks out in a rash. The already dry and slightly irritated skin is less able to handle this allergic rash, and less able to heal itself quickly.
Thus, children with eczema have an ongoing battle on two fronts – trying to retain moisture in the skin and prevent irritation and itching, and limiting exposure to allergens and skin irritants. This is a battle we plan to help you and your child win!

WHAT DOES ECZEMA LOOK LIKE?
Dry skin – your child will have slightly dry skin with a rough texture. You may be able to see and feel tiny white bumps as you run your fingers across the skin.
Dry patches – you may see scattered, scaly, dry, white patches anywhere on the body.
Flare-ups – from time to time you will see some areas of the skin become more irritated and flare up. These will look like raised, red, slightly oozing patches. Flare-ups generally occur near skin creases – most commonly the inside of the elbows and behind the knees, but also in the neck, wrists and hands, and feet. It can also occur of the trunk. One unique aspect of eczema is that it usually does not affect the diaper area.
WHAT CAUSES ECZEMA?
As stated above, eczema is a mixture of dry skin and allergies. The cause is mainly genetic – an inborn tendency toward dry skin and allergies. There is no way to change this genetics. The important issue is not what causes eczema in the first place, but what allergies and skin irritants is your child exposed to that is triggering the flare-ups.

Question by cece: Ketosis or low-carb diet causes eczema/hives?
Has anyone else experienced this?

I have been suffering from some sort of hives/eczema for the past few months. I have seen the dr., who couldn’t name a cause but prescribed me prednisone for immflamation. It went down, but started right back up when I finished the prescription.

I’ve kept a careful food/activity/stress journal to try and pinpoint the cause, and the ONLY consistent thing I can find is that it flares up at night, sweating can make it worse, and it gets worse the deeper in ketosis I am.

I have done low-carb for a few years now because my body is very sugar sensitive. A few days ago I went on a short junk food spree- back to eating burgers, sweets, etc, and the eczema on my forehead/around my eyes cleared up. Now I think I am in ketosis (or near) and overnight, the eczema has exploded on my face again.

Anyone have any experience with this? I really do NOT want to have to gorge myself on carbohydrates to clear my skin, I am pre-diabetic as it is, and sugar makes me slow & nearly unable to function at times.

I can’t really answer your question, but I can relate a personal anecdote.

When I was younger, I had severe eczema. The doctors put me on a low-protein diet, and it got much, much better.

Low-carb diets are known for causing skin problems in people who have a predisposition for such.
