Nummular Eczema Information.

Nummular eczema also know as nummular dermatitis is a skin disorder that is allergy triggered.

It breaks out in patches or spots shaped like coins on your skin, and itches like other forms of eczema. Similar to other types of eczema, a specific cause is hard to pinpoint.

Normally it is said to be allergies, asthma, or it can start off as another condition like the atopic form of eczema. This happens less often than the other types of eczema and older men get it more than women do.

Nummular eczema can be negatively affected by outside irritants, dry skin, fluctuations in temperatures, and stress.

Nummular Eczema Treatments.

Various treatments include staying away from the specific triggers, whether it be food allergies or any other thing that can stimulate a breakout or flare-up. Be careful of bathing frequently as this will make your skin dry out and can make Nummular eczema become worse.

Also stay away from harsh detergents and soaps. There are special soaps and other mixtures that will soothe your skin. Moistened compresses can also give some relief to dry, scaly patches of nummular eczema.

There are also lotions, creams and ointments that will help relieve the irritation that the rashes create.

The ointments or creams can have special ingredients designed to combat the itchiness of this condition. Corticosteroids, coal tar, and moisturizers are just some of these ingredients.

Sometimes oral steroids are needed to be prescribed because of the severity of the condition.

Prescriptions strength cortizone creams are highly effective for a severe case of this condition. Certain cortisone creams should not be used on every area of the body, so be sure to check with your doctor before using.

The coal tar products are quite useful if your breakout is very scaly, as it will help the scales shed easier.

Since nummular eczema can be a chronic form of the eczema, ongoing treatments are usually needed. Also if a known trigger has been found you need to avoid it as much as possible. This will lessen the breakouts and help keep the condition under control.

There is really no way to totally prevent nummular eczema from occurring. You can only try to lessen the symptoms with ongoing care and maintenance. Be diligent to catch any breakouts early and doctor them accordingly.

As with the other types of eczema other types of therapies can be useful besides the ones listed above. The ultraviolet light therapy for one can be used on this. It normally takes about 3 treatments a week for this therapy.

Treat any affected skin gently, which means no harsh soaps or detergents, fragrance-free versions are best as they will be easier on the skin. Also there are special body washes that are designed to cleanse very gently without drying the skin out.

Keep the skin moist through the use of creams and ointments to. The healthier you can keep your skin the more you can keep this condition at bay.

Hopefully this article will have helped you understand what nummular eczema is, and how it differs from other forms of eczema.

Eczema Cream.

Eczema Cream Information.

Many times when someone has eczema they need to treat it with some kind of eczema cream (or ointment).

There is more than one kind of eczema cream available that can be applied to relieve the itchy rash associated with eczema. Below is some information on the various creams to help you know which one is right for you.

Moisturizing creams are always beneficial for fighting off the dryness that can occur with eczema. Many good brand name creams are available on the market today. Apply these creams or ointments after showering to add moisture.

Steroid creams are also used for the itching of eczema. These are also effective at keeping the inflammation down. Apply over the affected area usually just 2 times per day (the frequency should be determined by your medical practitioner). There are various strengths of these steroid creams and ointments.

Some of these can be bought over the counter, while others are only available through prescription. Long-term use of steroids can cause bad side effects. Some side effects include a change in the thickness of skin, or you skin’s color changing. So make sure to use as advised.

Then you also have the immunosuppressing effects of Elidel cream and Protopic ointment, which can be useful in hard to deal with cases of eczema. But these should not be used unless absolutely necessary, especially as they carry a warning against cancer. Also other skin infections could occur because these drugs work by suppressing the immune system.

Antibiotics are occasionally needed if the eczema becomes infected. These infections can even be caused by the Staph bacteria that is naturally found on the skin and other surfaces. If antibiotics are prescribed they usually have to be taken from 14 – 28 days. You may have to have ongoing antibiotics if you are constantly suffering from these infections.

There are gel products that contain coal tar which may lower the need to use the topical steroid creams. However, some of these products may irritate the skin if they have alcohol in them, so read the labels before use.

Other Eczema Treatments.

  • Other treatments can be used along with the creams or ointments. Corticosteroids lessen the severity of the flare-ups along with lessening the itchiness of it.
  • Light therapy using either PUVA or UVB ultraviolet light can help with the chronic cases of the various forms of eczema. This is usually used for the times that other treatments don’t work . Treatments using light therapy are sometimes given several times a week.
  • Antihistamines are great for reducing the itchiness of the affected area. Taken orally these help reduce the aggravation that the itchiness causes. You should try not to scratch the eczema as it makes the flare-up worse.

Whether you use eczema cream or one of the other treatments, use something that helps relieve your eczema symptoms. Don’t go around with this condition without doing something about it. Soothe and heal your skin to keep the flare-ups down to a controllable level. You may not be able to totally cure yourself of the eczema, but you can most certainly make yourself more comfortable with it.

Dyshidrotic Eczema.

What is Dyshidrotic Eczema?

Dyshidrotic eczema is a form of eczema that shows up as small blisters filled with fluid. It normally shows up on the hands and feet. It can breakout on the sides of toes, soles of your feet, and fingers.

This is an extra itchy form of eczema, and outbreaks can last for a period of weeks. Through the blisters drying, the skin becomes cracked, dry, and painful.

Dyshidrotic Eczema Symptoms.

There are various symptoms associated with dishidrotic eczema.

Your skin can become very inflamed and cause the skin to crack and fluid (serum) to collect.

Other symptoms can involve:

  • Small bumps that itch slowly turning into a rash of blisters containing fluid.
  • The skin can crack or get fissures in it, especially around the toes or fingers.
  • The itching associated with this form of eczema can become quite severe.

As the blisters become larger, they can become very painful.

Dyshidrotic Eczema Causes.

No singular cause can currently be pinpointed for Dyshidrotic Eczema. Similar to other forms of eczema, it can be triggered by allergens that the sufferer may be sensitive to.

Breakouts can happen during the times of the year that you are allergic to the outside stimuli. This could be as simple as hay fever, or it could be a more serious condition such as asthma.

Dyshidrotic Eczema Treatments.

Once you have been properly diagnosed with Dyshidrotic Eczema, you can then obtain the correct treatment. The correct treatment will alleviate the symptoms and make the sufferers life a whole lot easier.

Some of those treatments are:

  • Cold or wet compresses is one thing you can try at home to relieve the itching. These can be used in conjunction with certain topical solutions to reduce the blisters and the irritation they cause you.
  • Corticosteroid ointments and creams are often prescribed by medical professionals for relief of the blisters and rashes that are part of dyshidrotic eczema. These mixtures can help the blisters to get smaller and even go away. They can also keep the skin from cracking due to dryness.
  • Antihistamines are often prescribed to get rid of the itching. Both loratadine and diphenhydramine are effective in this area.
  • There are a variety of light therapies that could also be beneficial such as the PUVA (psoralen with ultraviolet A) or the use of ultraviolet B light therapy.
  • An oral steroid may also be part of your treatment to help with the itching and other symptoms, however these can have serious side effects.
  • There are also the pimecrolimus (Elidel) and tacrolimus (Protopic), which suppress the immune system, and are used when other treatments are not successful. Please note that you may be at risk of developing skin infections due to the fact that these drugs suppress the immune system.

Hopefully this information on various Dyshidrotic Eczema Treatments will help, however you need to be aware that this type of eczema can come back even with treatment.
