Natural Remedies For Common Skin Problems

Many people are not aware that when they have acne or blemishes they can manage them by using natural remedies for common skin problems. You can achieve this by just eating yourself to a healthy and smooth skin.

An example i would like to share is that my 14 months old daughter is suffering from facial eczema since she was 7 months old and her skin has suddenly improved and i have been asking myself why her skin has changed for the better. She did not show this improvement while we used a corticosteroid cream and moisturising ointment on her. All i can think of is the ingredients i have started using when preparing her meals and the improvement on her skin showed after i started using ginger and garlic in cooking her food.


I just mixed very little and very finely chopped ginger and garlic in her minced meat and then i would later combine it with gluten free spaghetti to make her organic home cooked spice free spaghetti bolognaise. I attribute these two ingredients to the improvement of my daughter's, her skin is now smooth and free of dry eczema combined with the help of her prescribed creams.

Both Garlic and ginger in cooked food could be natural remedies for common skin problems. Remember to use only the organic and unprocessed food when preparing your toddler's meals. This can work in both children and adults. I have noticed that gluten free food for babies and toddlers can also prevent the appearance of facial eczema in toddlers and infants. This gluten free diet has helped my 14 months old daughter's skin a lot.

ECZEMA SYMPTOMS


Following are the symptoms of eczema.

Itching



Redness on skin


Dry and flaky skin


Itchy blisters


Inflammation on skin


Small bumps on forehead, neck and cheek


Rough and thickened skin.

Symptoms of eczema are more severe on the folds. There are several types of eczema including Atopic Eczema, Xerotic eczema, and Seborrheic dermatitis. These 3 are the most common types of eczema and almost all cases of eczema fall under one of these three Eczema types. None of these types of eczema are contagious. Atopic Eczema is allergic by nature and generally has a hereditary component.

In cases, where this skin condition is passed down from parents to their children, it has also been noticed that asthma is often present as well. Therefore people who suffer from both asthma and atopic eczema should inform their doctor of these problems so that the doctor can suggest adequate preventative treatment methods to protect their children from these health conditions. Cases of contact dermatitis caused by irritants are sometimes mistaken for Atopic Eczema. Xerotic eczema is influenced more by the weather than by any other factors. This is a very common problem, especially with seniors, as it causes eczema symptoms like excessively dry skin on the limbs and trunk.

Sebum is the body’s natural oil that helps to moisturize and protect the skin. As an individual grows older, sebum production decreases and this causes excessive drying. Regular moisturizing, especially in winter is necessary to help control such eczema symptoms. Seborrheic dermatitis causes dry or greasy peeling of the skin on the face, eyebrows, and scalp.

This condition often afflicts new born babies and causes a crusty yellow rash called cradle cap. The eczema symptoms vary according to the type of Eczema and in some cases a skin biopsy may be necessary in order to make a definite diagnosis. An eczema symptoms checker in babies as well as in children and adults refer nothing more than observing rashes that cause itching and seem to stay for a longer period of time. It is also necessary get the condition checked by your doctor.
