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.
