There are many different forms of eczema, also called excema, and this means that there also many different eczema causes. Some people only classify the eczema causes into 2 groups, externally triggered and internally triggered. To help you better understand the nature of your eczema, this article will explain subgroups of externally and internally triggered eczema. It is important for you to understand specifically what causes eczema in order to seek the right type of treatment. First, you should understand the difference between the external and internal causes of eczema. Externally is typically when you come into direct contact with a substance that caused a reaction. If the substance has touched your skin and caused a reaction, then the outbreak will typically only be on the surface of the skin that actually contacted the trigger. While it is easy to come into contact with an external trigger, it is also easier to identify and control these triggers. Internal triggers cause an extreme reaction by your immune system and the skin begins to react internally, at the cellular level. These reactions are typically from a combination of internal triggers, such as an allergen and a hormone imbalance occurring at the same … Continue reading →

SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) - October is National Eczema Awareness month. Eczema, medically known as Atopic Dermatitis, is an itchy red rash that can appear all over the body. Eczema can appear on the elbows or behind the knees, for newborns it often appears on the face. There is no cure for this skin ailment and the severity varies from person to person. A Shreveport mother says this common medical condition caused her young son to go from scratching to biting and now bleeding. If you look closely at two year old Karsyn Lebum's hands and knees, you can still see subtle signs of this skin issue that causes him a great deal of discomfort. Myesha Newton, Karsyn's mother, says watching her son scratch to the point of bleeding is painful to endure.

Posted: Thursday, October 23, 2014, 4:00 AM (HealthDay News) -- While in-office visits may still be best, taking a photo of a skin lesion and sending it to your dermatologist for analysis may be a valuable piece of eczema care, a new study finds. "This study shows something interesting -- patients' eczema improved regardless whether they saw the doctor for follow-up in the office or communicated online," said one expert not connected to the study, Dr Gary Goldenberg of New York City. The new technology "gives patients another valuable option of communicating with their doctor," said Goldenberg, who is assistant clinical professor of dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital, New York City. The new study was led by Dr. April Armstrong of the University of Colorado, Denver, and published online Oct. 22 in the journal JAMA Dermatology. The study included 156 adults and children with eczema: 78 received typical in-person, follow-up care, while 78 received online follow-up care. The patients in the online care group sent photos of skin outbreaks to dermatologists, who evaluated the photos, made treatment recommendations and prescribed medications. After one year, clearance or near clearance of eczema was achieved by almost … Continue reading →

Tampa dermatologist Dr. Seth Forman continues to conduct a clinical trial for eczema and is seeking new patients to participate in what may be a one-of-a-kind, breakthrough treatment that will alleviate symptoms for those who suffer from the skin condition. In an effort to provide an effective solution for patients, the Tampa dermatologist is administering the treatment in hopes that participants will see a noticeable improvement of their skin by the end of the trial. I would encourage anyone who suffers from eczema to take advantage of this opportunity, says Dr. Forman. The goal of this treatment is to provide patients with positive, long-term results that will relieve irritation and itchiness and improve the appearance of their skin. Also known as atopic dermatitis, eczema is a skin condition characterized by irritated skin due to the release of inflammatory chemicals in the body. Common symptoms include a combination of itchy, dry and red patchy skin on areas of the body including the face, hands and neck. Patients enrolled in the trial will receive subcutaneous (injected under the skin) medication at no cost, as well as free lab tests and exams by the Tampa dermatologist and his office. In addition, volunteers will … Continue reading →

Editor's Note: Covenant Health Plainview is offering a four week segment about common health concerns. These articles are written by the four residents that are currently in rotation with local physicians. These residents are among the best of their peers, and are focused on advancing rural healthcare. Eczema is a common skin condition that occurs most frequently in children, but can also affect adults. The word Eczema comes from a Greek word meaning "eruption or to boil out". Also known as Atopic dermatitis, Eczema is a skin problem that causes dry, itchy, bumpy, red skin but is not contagious. At this time, there is no cure, but in most cases, symptoms can be controlled. Eczema usually occurs in the first year of life but may appear as late as the age of five. Many cases, as much as 40 percent of cases, will clear by adulthood. In babies and children, the skin may be intensely itchy, scaly, and many times, red patches are seen on the face, scalp, arms and legs, but groin areas are usually spared. The skin in older individuals, with more recurrent flares, are thickened, dark and scarred due to repeated scratching. It is usually seen in … Continue reading →
