Are you having long-lasting itchy, flaky skin? Well, you should know that you could be suffering from eczema skin disease. Read on to know the signs and symptoms, diagnosis and homeopathy treatment.

Signs and symptoms

Presentation of eczema varies from person to person. The most common eczema symptoms include the following.

  • Dry, itchy skin
  • Flaking
  • Redness, heat and swelling on the affected area
  • Skin eruptions
  • Oozing of thin, watery fluid from the eruptions
  • Chronic scratching
  • Darkening of skin in long-standing cases
  • Crust formation
  • Cracked skin that hurts and sometimes bleeds

Diagnosis

You can take the skin evaluation test to assess the current condition of your skin. Your homeopath will likely make a diagnosis by examining your skin and reviewing your medical history.

Dr Batra’s® introduced India’s first 3D imaging device for the analysis and evaluation of skin health. This potent diagnostic machine is based on advanced optical technology developed by scientists at Dublin. This allows the skin to be viewed in 2 and 3 dimensions and enables a multi-spectral analysis of the epidermis and dermis. A quick scan by the 3D imaging device reveals the thickness of the skin and extent of eczema in the subcutaneous skin that is not visible to the naked eye.

If you suspect a certain food caused your skin rash, tell the homeopath and ask about identifying potential food allergies. Allergy tests may be required to determine the allergens or irritants that are causative factors in a particular case. Physicians might also conduct patch testing to pinpoint which allergens are capable of inducing eczematous reactions, especially in cases of contact dermatitis.

Homeopathy treatment

Homeopathy provides effective results in treating eczema skin disease. In addition, it demonstrates an improvement in the primary complaint of eczema as well as overall well-being. Homeopathy treatment is largely holistic in nature. Homeopathy treatment also helps to avoid side effects as seen with steroids such as thinning of the skin, atrophy of the skin, and secondary, fungal and bacterial infections of the skin. One must keep in mind that the treatment duration may vary from patient to patient, depending on several factors, namely, the duration of eczema, its extent and severity, and the previous history of treatment. Nevertheless, the homeopathy treatment has multiple benefits to offer to every patient of eczema and, hence, it is strongly suggested for all cases.

Dr Batra's® have successfully treated thousands of cases of eczema over the last 35 years. Their homeopathy treatment mainly helps patients as it corrects the deviated immune process, which is the root cause of eczema or skin allergy as compared to other conventional medication like steroidal ointments used for treating eczema. The homeopathic medicine works to restore this deviated immunity. This gives rise to a series of repeated and increasingly prolonged remissions in the symptoms, which eventually proceeds to good control over the disease.

Natural homeopathic medicine can reduce itching and flare-up, reduce the intensity, frequency as well as the duration of complaints, limit the spread of the disease, stimulate the healing process, improve sleep, and reduce the practice of topical application. The homeopathy treatment at Dr Batra's® includes understanding underlying factors such as stress at work or in a relationship, sensitivity to wheat and milk, mental as well as physical over-exertion. Also, it helps to monitor the underlying diseases such as allergy, diabetes, hypertension and depression. This treats the associated complaints if any. Furthermore, it provides a customized treatment plan. It prevents recurrence and improves the quality of life.
