Itching And Its Sure Shot Treatment

Hello visitor! Thank you for taking the time to read this article.


Itching is a symptom of several conditions of the skin such as eczema, scabies, ringworm, allergies, etc. When the skin is inflamed, the nerves in it become hyperactive. This increases the irritation at the region, which we try to remove by itching. Several times itching is mild and the sensation goes away after a while. But if the itching is due to a skin disease, then it could become very severe, leading to bleeding, pus formation and further complications.

Treatment:

1. After every bath, make sure your baby skin is moisturized. What this does is keeps the skin hydrated, and prevents it from drying. Dry skin makes eczema worse, and you want to avoid this at all times. If you do this, you can really improve their skin condition.

2. Tomato juice may also play a role in this bothersome skin condition. Although the majority of people opt for a glass of orange juice in the morning, if you have eczema it may be worthwhile to switch over to tomato juice. It's said to help calm the skin down and reduce the itchiness that is so often associated with eczema and many other skin conditions too. You'll also benefit from the nutritional value of the juice itself.

3. Antihistamines, like Benadryl, can be taken for itching. They come in pill form and can be taken before bedtime. This will relieve the itching so you can sleep. They can be taken during the daytime but if you do be sure that they are a non-drowsy formula.

4. One of the most beneficial emollients that is available is called emu oil. This oil is great to help keep the skin moist and it also has some anti-inflammation and anti-itch properties as well. This is great for eczema flare-ups. Antibacterial properties are also found in this oil and it is great for the prevention of many different kinds of skin infections. How to stop scratching? Try emu oil.

5. Ointments, creams, and gels--when used around the anus--should be applied as a thin covering. When applied to the anal canal, these products should be inserted with a finger or a "pile pipe." Pile pipes are most efficient when they have holes on the sides as well as at the end.

6. In order to fight dry skin, here is a natural cure for eczema you can use. Aloe Vera and Vitamin E are extremely successful in dealing with this skin condition. Once you apply a lotion that contains either of the 2 ingredients listed above, the moisture is locked into your skin. It's best to use this 2-3 times a day for best results, this will prevent dryness and cracking.

7. Holy basil leaves are very good in the treatment of itching due to ringworm. Its soothing properties have also been found to work in other kinds of itching.

8. Olive oil can also be used on the scalp as a remedy for extremely dry skin and hair. Avoid products containing drying agents like alcohol, clay and glycerin in your dry skin care. Certain herb teas work as an internal remedy for dry skin. Use one teaspoon of the dried herb to one cup of boiling water. Remove from heat and let steep for 5 minute.
