Eczema or atopic dermatitis is a chronic
(long-term) skin disorder. People with
eczema have scaly and itching rashes.
There is often a family history associated
with eczema.
Things which can worsen this condition
include exposure to environmental
irritants, stress, temperature changes,
and how dry your skin is.
In some cases it has been witnessed that
controlling depression, stress,
nervousness and anxiety can be beneficial.
Treatments vary depending on the stage of
the lesions.
Please consult your doctor for more
information about treatments. A good idea
is to write down what you want to ask /
say to your doctor beforehand on a pad and
bring that with you to the consultation.
Best of luck.

Well I dont know if I spelled that right.
But I think I contracted it from both my
mom and dad. I told the doctor about it
and she just told me to use eucerin and I
was using it for a while and it just didnt
seem to help. So I dont know what to do
anymore.

Eczema, Itchy Posted: 11-14-05 23:30pm
Thank you Dr. T. Blake, you are about
the 1st doctor that has said what this
itchy sickness possible could be. I've
been to 3 emergency rooms, my own doctor
and a skin and vein doctor and not one of
them new what it was. They test me for
all kinds of things and still has not come
up with anything. Just leave me itchy.
Tomorrow I go to another skin doctor, I
will surely tell them what I think it may
be, maybe they can figure something out
and give me some idea of how long this is
to last.
If you know could you please respond.
Thank you so much.
