There isnt actually one kind of eczema its the common name given to a group of conditions that can cause skin to become itchy and inflamed.

It may seem like an irritating side-effect of hot weather, but sweating is essential for helping your body regulate its temperature, preventing you from overheating. But its benefits may actually extend further for our health. Research found that it can help clear up your skin naturally. A 2005 study published in the Journal of Immunology revealed that atopic dermatitis - a type of eczema - may be triggered because sufferers are lacking dermcidin, an antimicrobial peptide, in their sweat. Additionally people who sweat more often due to exercise have a lower risk of kidney stones. This is thought to be because salt is sweated out instead of the kidneys having to process it, potentially risking stone formation. It can also help you get rid of toxins. Research published in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health found that it helps excrete arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. A study released last week by the University of Missouri found that high levels of cadmium raise risk of endometrial cancer in women. Exercise is an easy way to induce sweat, but can also be triggered in environments such as a sauna. While some sweating is clearly beneficial, perspiring excessively - known as hyperhidrosis … Continue reading →

It is surprisingly common in infants and children, but it is a problem that afflicts many teenagers and adults too.

Here are some important things you need to know about eczema and treating it naturally. The term basically refers to a variety of rash-like skin conditions. The symptoms of eczema include red, blotchy skin that is inflamed, irritated and itchy. Frequently, a person with the condition will scratch their skin incessantly, which can exacerbate pus-filled sores, flaking and scaly patches. Scientists believe a number of different factors can cause or contribute to the condition. For example, heredity, allergens, autoimmune disorders, environmental irritants, hormones, stress and temperature can all play a role in precipitating eczema. A susceptibility to eczema seems to run in families. However, sensitivity to detergents and common allergens can also induce symptoms. Likewise, hormonal changes linked to pregnancy, menstrual cycles and menopause have all been associated with eczema outbreaks too. Here is a list of … Continue reading →

Xconomy San Francisco Skin treatments developer Dermira is adding another experimental drug to its pipeline that it plans to test as a potential treatment for eczema, through a deal announced this morning with healthcare giant Roche. But in picking up the global rights to lebrikizumab, Menlo Park, CA-based Dermira (NASDAQ: DERM) is entering a suddenly crowded field of new treatments for the skin condition, which is characterized by inflamed, itchy, and scaly rashes on the skin. Dermira has agreed to pay Roche $80 million now, plus $55 million next year for global rights to the drug. If Dermira can hit development and regulatory goals for the lebrikizumab, the company could be on the hook to pay Roche up to $250 million more. Should Dermira commercialize the injectable drug in other diseases, the company would have to pay more than $1 billion as the drug hits undisclosed sales marks. Dermira would also need to pay Roche royalties on the drugs sales. Roche is keeping the rights to the drug in interstitial lung diseases, a group of disorders that lead to progressive scarring of the lungs. Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is an autoimmune disorder that produces an inflammatory response thats … Continue reading →

Probiotics in first six months of life do not reduce incidence of eczema at age 2, asthma at age 5 HealthDay News Probiotic administration during the first six months of life does not reduce the incidence of eczema at 2 years of age or asthma at 5 years of age, according to a study published online August 7 in Pediatrics. Michael D. Cabana, MD, MPH, from the University of California in San Francisco, and colleagues conducted a randomized trial of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) supplementation on the cumulative incidence of eczema and asthma and rhinitis in high-risk infants. Ninety-two intervention infants received a daily dose of 10 billion colony-forming units of LGG and 225mg of insulin for the first 6 months of life, while 92 control infants received 325mg insulin alone for the first 6 months of life. The researchers found that the estimated cumulative incidence of eczema was 30.9 and 28.7% in the control and LGG arms at 2 years of age, respectively, for a hazard ratio of 0.95 (95% confidence interval, 0.59 to 1.53). The cumulative incidence of asthma was 17.4 and 9.7% in the control and LGG arms at age 5 years, respectively, for a hazard ratio … Continue reading →

A number of cases have had the disorder because of slow and poor digestions as well as gut related problems such as Leaky Gut Syndrome.
