How to Treat Juvenile Eczema

Juvenile eczema is fairly common among today’s youth. Atopic eczema is an irritating disorder that creates an itching sensation and generally a crusty dry rash. Atopic eczema is a chronic condition which tends to relapse and reoccur and can flare up according to a child’s environment and diet. One of the most common conditions that tend to accompany atopic eczema is asthma and other allergy conditions.

So how do you treat atopic eczema? There are a number of treatment options available for treating atopic eczema but it is more important to get a professional diagnosis from your child’s pediatrician or a dermatologist. Once you have a diagnosis and advice from a professional you develop a plan of action from a parental standpoint.

There are a couple of things to recognize in the treatment of your child’s atopic eczema. Know that when there are drastic weather changes, either heat or cold, your child is subject to a break out and or asthma or allergy attack. Most pediatricians, once they have diagnosed a child with asthma and related atopic eczema, will write a prescription for a breathing machine, and inhalers as well as a steroidal topical cream or ointment to apply to the atopic eczema.

Many sufferers of atopic eczema tend to treat the condition from the inside out which means consciously watching the foods that are eaten. Generally a gluten free diet is followed as well as the elimination of cow’s milk. Any types of foods that tend to cause inflammation in the body’s system are eliminated to control not only the atopic eczema for the accompanying disorders as well. Building a strong immunity is paramount in beating juvenile atopic eczema and the elimination of common foods is a step in the right direction. Common foods such as citrus fruits and products, eggs, milk, seafood, acid based fruits and vegetable and some nuts are common culprits. It is also important that children with atopic eczema stay away from common bubble bath products and use more natural products such as oatmeal based soaps and washes and botanical and herb products.
