Busting myths about eczema
Eczema is a medical condition in which patches of skin become rough and inflamed with blisters which cause itching and bleeding. Patients are often misinformed, and the gap between the myths and facts about eczema is usually very broad. Dr SPS Bakshi, CMD, Bakson Group helps us understand this disorder better:
Myth: Eczema is contagious
Fact: The answer is no. You can't catch eczema from another person and you can't give it to someone by touching them.
Myth: Eczema is just an allergy
Fact: Most people assume this because they are allergic to external allergens, but the fact is that our genetic makeup is sensitised to various allergens, and this leads to hypersensitivity reactions. These sensitised response characteristics can be passed on to the succeeding generations, too.
Myth: Bathing aggravates it
Fact: Daily bathing can help hydrate the skin as well as remove any bacteria or other micro-organisms that can cause infection.
Myth: It can be cured with ‘miracle’ creams
Fact: There is no shortage of ‘miracle’ natural eczema creams in the market, since in the traditional medical system, eczema is typically treated with the topical application of creams and ointments. The fact is that they just provide temporary relief, and don’t address the actual causes and triggers of the inflammation. However, homoeopathy’s natural treatment works on the immune system and enhances body’s natural healing process against eczema. Homoeopathic treatment is tailored to an individual’s specific symptoms, history, and needs, so is extremely effective. Some commonly prescribed homoeopathic medicines are:
