What medications will relieve my child's eczema symptoms?

Lotions containing alcohol should not be used because the alcohol will dry the skin. Also steer away from lubricants that contain lanolin, which is derived from sheep and thus may be allergenic, and paraben, a preservative that may sensitize the skin. The CVS pharmacy brand of lubricating cream is a good value and works well.

For children with more severe atopic dermatitis, topical steroid creams prescribed by your physician can provide relief from symptoms and should be applied to the skin that has a visible rash as often as three or four times a day. It is important not to apply steroid creams to unaffected areas -- it increases adverse effects -- or to the face without specific instruction from your allergist. Usually, a milder corticosteroid is used on the face as the rash improves.

Your physician will prescribe the appropriate form of topical steroid. Other medications that may be helpful include antihistamines, which make the skin less itchy and, sometimes, antibiotics to clear an infection. The rashes of eczema result not from the disease itself, but from staph germs that infect the skin from the child's nails.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
