Eczema

Eczema also called Dermatitis, causes the skin to become dry, itchy, cracked and sore. While some only experience small patches of dry skin, others may experience widespread inflamed skin all over the body. This skin can be red, dark brown, purple or grey. The most common type of Eczema is Atopic Dermatitis.

Sometimes the irritated skin is affected with pus-filled blisters, this phenomenon is called Weeping Eczema. The sores seem to weep, oozing pus that is clear or yellow and eventually dry up with a crusty layer on the skin.

Common in children but occurring at any age, Eczema is non-contagious and its symptoms can vary from person to person. Common symptoms include:

Dry skin
Cracked, scaly, thick skin
Severe itching, especially at night
Tiny, raised bumps that leak fluid and crust over when scratched
Red to brownish-grey patches
Sensitive, swollen skin from scratching

Unlike healthy skin that helps retain moisture and protects from bacteria and allergens, Eczema is aligned to a gene variation that affects the skin’s ability to do so. This causes the skin to be affected by environmental factors, allergens and irritants.

Food allergies
Activities that cause skin to be sensitive

OUR APPROACH

Eczema is a disease that has a mind of its own; it is so attached to the human body that it clings on for generations together. At Dr. S. Vidya Prakash Homoeopathic Clinic, we study every patient's close and extended family’s history, their Eczema's nature, extend and chronicity. Before Eczema homeopathy treatment is begun, the patient and their condition are studied in detail and is then identified as suppressed or non-suppressed superficial type. We also conduct in-depth research in factors that trigger the body’s immunity to respond by producing inflammation in patients.

We prefer the classical approach of homeopathic treatment in healing the altered immunological response to the condition and to reclaim the immunity of our patients. In young patients, we ensure extra care not to suppress the inflammation so as to avoid relapse in early adulthood. Patients suffering from other ailments alternating with Eczema, such as Asthma, are treated simultaneously to improve their quality of life. The patients are given deep acting medicines for complete healing and specially made tinctures to avoid scarring and further infections. Along with homeopathic principles like Hering’s Law of Cure, a proper diet and regime are advised in the healing stage. Find the ideal Eczema homeopathic treatment in Kerala at Dr. S. Vidya Prakash Homoeopathic Clinic, where we ensure that patients respond positively to true homeopathic methods.
