Treatment for Eczema

What is Eczema?

Eczema is a medical condition that causes inflamed, itchy, cracked, and sometimes blistered skin. About 10% of the American population is affected by a variety of this condition.

Types of Eczema

There are 7 types of eczema that each share these common symptoms:

Dry, scaly skin
Redness
Itching, sometimes intense

Each type of eczema has its own set of symptoms and causes.

1. Atopic Dermatitis

As the most common type of eczema, atopic dermatitis typically develops during childhood then lessens or resolves itself by adulthood. Doctors include atopic dermatitis in the atopic “triad,” which also includes asthma and hay fever. Usually, people with this skin condition have all three.

Symptoms
Atopic dermatitis symptoms include:
- Rash that forms in the creases of your elbows and knees
- Skin may turn lighter or darker or get thicker where the rash is located
- Small bumps that leak fluid if you scratch them
- Rash on the scalp and cheeks of babies
- Skin infection from scratching
Causes
- Genetics
- Dry skin
- Immune system issue
- Environmental triggers

Atopic dermatitis occurs when the skin’s natural barrier is weakened, so your skin has less ability to protect you from irritants and allergens.

2) Contact Dermatitis

Contact dermatitis occurs when you have a reaction to a substance you touched, whether its an allergic reaction to something like latex or metal or a reaction to an irritant like a chemical.

Symptoms
Contact dermatitis patients experience:
- Itchy skin that turns red, burns, and stings
- Hives, or itchy bumps on your skin
- Crusty, fluid-filled blisters that may ooze
- Thick, scaly, leathery skin
Causes
Contact dermatitis is the result of touching something that irritates your skin, such as:
- Bleach
- Jewelry
- Detergents
- Paint
- Latex
- Nickel
- Soaps and perfumes
- Solvents
- Poisonous plants like poison ivy
- Tobacco smoke
- Skin care products and makeup

3) Dyshidrotic Eczema

Dyshidrotic eczema causes the formation of blisters on your hands and feet and is more common in women than men.

Symptoms
Dyshidrotic eczema patients experience:
- Fluid-filled blisters on your palms, fingers, toes, and soles of your feet
- Itchy or painful blisters
- Scaly, cracked, and flaky skin
Causes
Causes of dyshidrotic eczema include:
- Allergies
- Damp feet or hands
- Exposure to irritants like nickel, cobalt, or chromium salt
- Stress

4. Hand Eczema

Hand eczema is eczema that only affects your hands after being exposed to chemicals. People in professions like hairdressing and cleaning are more likely to develop this condition.

Symptoms
Hand eczema patients experience:
- Red, itchy, and dry hands
- Cracks or blisters may form on hands
Causes
Hand eczema is the result of chemical exposure and primarily affects people who work with irritants for activities like:
- Hairdressing
- Cleaning
- Laundry or dry cleaning
- Healthcare

5. Neurodermatitis

Neurodermatitis is kind of like atopic dermatitis that makes your skin thick, scaly, and patchy.

Symptoms
Neurodermatitis patients experience:
- Thick, scaly patches all over your body (hands, bottoms of your feet, arms, legs, back of your neck, genitals, and scalp)
- Patches that itch during relaxation or sleep
- Patches that bleed and become infected if you scratch them
Causes
Doctors are unsure of what causes neurodermatitis, but it usually begins as a different type of eczema or psoriasis. Stress may also be a trigger.

6. Nummular Eczema

Nummular eczema causes the development of coin-shaped spots on your skin, hence the name “nummular” which means “coin” in Latin.

Symptoms
- Coin-shaped spots on your skin
- Itchy, scaly spots
Causes
- Reaction to an insect bite
- Allergic reaction to metals or chemicals
- Dry skin
- Having another type of eczema like atopic dermatitis

7. Stasis Dermatitis

Stasis dermatitis occurs when fluid from weakened veins leaks into your skin, causing swelling, redness, itching, and pain.

Symptoms
- Swollen lower legs after walking
- Heavy or achy legs
- Varicose veins (damaged veins in your legs)
- Dry, itchy skin over varicose veins
- Open sores on lower legs and on the tops of your feet
Causes
- Blood flow malfunction in lower legs that causes blood to pool, swell up, and form varicose veins

IV hydration therapy for eczema is becoming a popular and effective way to treat this condition. It involves the infusion of an intravenous fluid containing electrolytes, vitamins, minerals, and other important nutrients directly into the bloodstream. The purpose of this therapy is to help replenish lost moisture in the body due to eczema and improve overall skin health.

Vida-Flo is the best solution for IV hydration therapy. In fact, studies have shown that IV hydration therapy for eczema can help reduce inflammation in the skin and improve its overall health. It also helps replenish lost moisture, which in turn combats the dry, itchy, and scaly patches common to eczema sufferers. This treatment may also help speed up healing from more severe cases of eczema.

The best part about Vida-Flo IV hydration therapy is that it is non-invasive and relatively painless. Patients simply receive the fluids they need through an IV drip. This can be done in our clinic or an outpatient setting. The procedure only takes about 30 minutes and patients may immediately feel the benefits of the hydration therapy.
