Eczema |
A New Relief |
| by Louise Forrest |
| |
One of
the new ways of treating eczema is with the use of wet
wraps. It is has been shown that there is a lot of improvement
in the condition of the skin, including that of children,
as the skin is dramatically re-hydrated.
In some cases, sufferers have seen a reduction of the
amount of itching decrease by nearly 80% as this has
lead to improved sleep patters and of course less stress
over the condition itself.
And the results do last for some time and any type of
eczema can benefit from the use of wet wraps such as
hand eczema. This is a treatment that is very much worth
considering so make sure that you discuss this with
your doctor and best of all it is suitable for both
adults and children.
The process involves applying bandages that are wet
to the affected areas. And the steps involved are normally
as follows: |
| |
| - |
patient
will be asked to soak in a warm bath |
| - |
a
organic based moisturizer will be applied to the
skin. Make sure that you use a moisturizer that
is not scented and is alcohol free |
| - |
medication
is then applied |
| - |
bandages
that have been soaked in a special agent are then
applied to the body |
| - |
on
top of the wet bandages dry bandages are applied
in order to trap the moisture |
| - |
this
should normally be done every day for the first
fortnight, and can then be cut back to every days
for instance. But this type of treatment should
be continued on a regular and frequent basis |
|
| |
One of
the major benefits to this therapy is that it is highly
effective and many people do see a lot less itching,
swelling, dryness and this helps patients to lead a
more active life and they are also getting more sleep
too. |
