Dermatitis

 
Description

Eczema is a common skin condition distinguished by the presence of fluid-filled blisters that weep, ooze, and crust over. From infants to adults, eczema is experienced across the age spectrum and can be both irritating and distressing. The term "dermatitis" is often used interchangeably with "eczema".

Addressing the underlying cause(s) of the eczema is often the most viable course of action and your naturopath or other health practitioner will assist you in outlining a healing protocol to meet your needs

 

Symptoms and Signs:

Excessive dryness and itching of the skin are the primary symptoms of eczema. The skin will develop a red, scaly, bumpy and rough appearance. Continual scratching and rubbing leads to darkened and hardened areas of thickened skin with accentuated furrows and weeping lesions. This can occur anywhere on the body but most commonly eczema is seen on the front of the wrist, elbows, and the backs of knees. There is usually a previous personal or family history of allergies.
