Picture
Eczema is an extremely difficult skin condition to live with especially when it manifest as face eczema - in my opinion that is one of the worse forms of this condition. I have seen women and men attempt to cover their skin with makeup and they look silly trying to do so. 

In this article I will be providing you with information to attack and defeat this condition once and for all. I like to refer to this approach as, "The Two Pronged Attack." You will discover how to cure yourself both from the outside and the inside, but first you need to understand a few basic things about eczema.

Face eczema isn't different from any other type of eczema... They all start with the same symptoms which is dry skin with red splotches, and rashes. If the condition is really bad the rashes may blisters which often leaks pus. This condition can break out on any part of the body which most people learn to live with. However when it appears on the face you only have two choices... Live with it, or do something about! The mere fact that you are reading this article means that you have chosen to do something about it, and for that you need to give yourself a pat on the back.

This condition has no shame it strikes adults as well as infants. This condition is easily spotted on the face because it normally affects the inner eyebrows, scalp, eyelids and the creases of the nose around the nostril area. Unknown to most people it also can affect the scalp. You can always notice an eczema scalp condition due to the large amounts of dandruff, and the itchiness. Another tale-tale sign is the color of the dandruff, it will change from white to a yellowish color. 

I know this article is suppose to be geared towards face eczema, but I felt it was crucial to touch on a few other areas of this condition for a quick moment. Now that I have that out of the way let me return to the point... 

We have already discussed why face eczema is the most difficult aspect of this condition to live with. The temptation to scratch the affected areas on your face can be hard to resist. Those urges can be fought by taking an anti-histamine just before you go to bed. The drowsiness caused by the medication will keep you from scratching while you are asleep. At this point you are probably thinking, "that is great but what do I do during the hours that I am awake?" Well there is some good news... You can take a non-drowsy anti-histamine that will allow you to stop scratching your face during the day.

Now that you have a working knowledge of face eczema as well as other variations of this condition, lets move on. In order to keep this condition from transforming into a serious infection you will need to put together a daily routine that will lead to a cure. One of the first things that I recommend is finding a good moisturizer i.e. one without oil or alcohol in it. By keeping the skin moist it will tremendously increase your recovery time. The next thing you will want to add to your routine is a daily intake of the essential vitamins such as Vitamin A, E, and C which will aid in increasing your immune system. This will help the body fight off any infection. 

Since this condition works from the inside out, it only makes since to fight it the same way. With that thought in mind I highly recommend that you eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. You should also increase your daily water intake, and I recommend drinking spring water and not purified water since purified water has very little if any of the minerals that the body needs. 

This article is only meant to put you on the right path. Reports have shown that by adding a daily routine of eating the right foods, and moisturizing will cure face eczema as well as other types of eczema. This article is by no means meant to be the end but the beginning of your quest. Don't be afraid to try new things such as experimenting with which foods work and which foods do not. I also recommend that you keep a journal and document your results.
