Eczema and its Exigencies
by Lisa Robbins
Red skin covered with dry or greasy scales is caused by a fungal infection and exacerbated by a weakened immune system. Eczema, also called seborrheic dermatitis, can itch and burn and make the hair fall out. It effects babies, especially on their heads (cradle cap), and teens and adults (dandruff) and can flare up once in a while or be chronic.
Homeopathic remedies decrease inflammation and flaking and reduce the itching and burning. They revitialise the immune system and strengthen it so that it can address and ultimately eliminate the dermatitis.
Temporary relief is available in a medicated shampoo or a cream… but the condition will return. Gentle and without side effects, the right remedy will get to the root of the cause, hence work in the long term.
Below are the top remedies for sebhorreic dermatitis. If you or your children are prone to eczema on the scalp, the face, behind the ears, around the eyes, see what matches your main symptoms.
Yellow sticky flakes in the hair, itching, worse from heat are the main characteristics of Kali sulph, a top skin remedy. Sometimes the condition causes hair to fall out.
If white flakes are sprinkled over a red scalp, Nat mur is a top remedy to consider. The scalp and neck usually itch and sometimes there’s a loss of hiar. Greasy skin is found on the body’s hairy parts.
When there are lots of flakes and scales and intense itching on the scalp especially on the top of the head, have a look at Graphites. Scales are often present behind the ears, on the eyelids and in a man’s moustache. Hair may be matted and thinning.
If the head is sweaty, look at Calc carb. Scales are yellow-white, sometimes dry, sometimes moist.
If you or family members want a long-term solution to dandruff that won’t go away, if the baby’s scalp is crusty with cradle cap, get in touch. I can tell you what remedy to use and in what strength.
