There are two very common skin conditions that cause itching and redness. These two are eczema and dermatitis. The following text will explore some treatment options that can help soothe your skin and restore its healthy appearance.

Eczema is a skin condition that presents itself as dryness and recurring skin rashes. People suffering from eczema sufferers will usually show one or two of the following symptoms:

*redness

*inflamed skin

*itching and dryness

*cracked skin

Due to healing patches of skin there may also be signs of discoloration. One of the biggest problems encountered by eczema sufferers is facial dry skin. This occurs because the facial area is difficult to cover.

Dermatitis, on the other hand, is a term used to define a number of skin conditions that causes inflammation of the skin. Case in point, eczema is a considered to be a form of dermatitis, however, not all dermatitis is considered to be eczema. Furthermore, some other common forms of dermatitis are also allergic contact dermatitis and psoriasis.

Treatment options for Eczema & dermatitis

Eczema really has no cure so its treatment is usually focused on alleviating its symptoms like inflammation and itching. Some of the more traditional treatment options may include antihistamines, corticosteroid injections, antibiotics, and immunosuppressants. Each one of these treatments, however, comes with its own caveat.

Corticosteroid injections can lead to thinning and fragile skin. Immunosuppressants should only be used under strict observation of a medical doctor and antihistamines are only effective against the itching. Antibiotics are only used when eczema has produced cracks in the skin.

Since dermatitis is such a broad term, its treatment options depend on the type of dermatitis that you have been diagnosed with. In these cases, treatment can range from steroids to anti-allergy medicine to UV light therapy.

The common denominator for both dermatitis and eczema is dry skin. This skin condition it is usually associated with both. The proper dry skin care is achieved with an effective and safe dry skin cream that is capable of alleviating most, if not all, of the symptoms.

In the case of dry skin care treatment you should use a special healing balm specifically suited to treat eczema and dermatitis. Make sure that whatever product you buy - be it a cleanser or moisturizer - is alcohol free. Alcohol is detrimental to skin causing it to dry out and exacerbating existing conditions. Dry skin creams are probably the most important product that you can have. By keeping your skin moisturized, you can control and alleviate irritation, itching and swelling. Some good ingredients for soothing skin are coconut oil, shea butter, rose hip oil and Helix aspersa extract.

Controlling your eczema and dermatitis with natural and effective ingredients is a good start when dealing with these common skin conditions.

Skin rashes are a very common and irritating symptom of eczema and dermatitis. You can treat your itching, irritated skin with BIOSKINBALM, a dry skin cream or simply revitalize your dry skin with rose hip oil - a natural moisturizer.
