Choosing Facial Eczema Cream and Ointments

Facial Eczema (PE) is an inflammatory disease that causes low production of skin, irritation and sometimes burning and even death. Facial Eczema is most commonly caused by a toxin (sporansmines) produced by the Sporales moulding on pasture in warm, damp conditions. The toxins are airborne and can become airborne in dust particles and settled in the lower respiratory tract when breathing air, and they become even more airborne when a person coughs or sneezes. The toxins can also be swallowed when a sufferer eats food with a crusty taste resembling mold or slimy cheese. The toxins then enter the bloodstream when the sufferer inhales them via the mucous membranes of the mouth and nose and travel to different parts of their body.

Facial Eczema

This allergic reaction triggers the release of histamines (also known as lignins) which cause the skin to become inflamed and dry. Normally there are normally some immune cells that protect the face from irritants such as pollens, but under certain conditions the immune cells become lazy or overactive and the body becomes more susceptible to allergens and irritants. Under normal circumstances, the presence of histamines is always beneficial as it stimulates the production of new cells and reduces inflammation, but when the immune system becomes overactive and/or lazy it starts causing serious health problems including facial eczema.

So how do we treat this skin condition? There are many prescription medications available, and they can have side effects if you are sensitive to them. Some of the most popular and effective medications for facial eczema are Aloe Vera and Hydrocortisone. These products are available as ointments, creams and lotions. The advantage of using these topical treatments is that they are immediately effective, so there is no waiting for the medication to take effect and there is also no risk of irritation. The other benefit of topical products is that they reduce swelling and inflammation within a short space of time.

Both Aloe Vera and Hydrocortisone have natural characteristics and properties which mean they are less likely to irritate the skin and cause dryness. They can be absorbed into the blood stream and so can be used by almost anyone. Dermatologists who prescribe these creams or ointments for facial eczema generally recommend them for children as well as adults. However, there are now many alternative treatments available on the market which may also provide relief from this condition. So what should you look for when choosing which cream or lotion to use?

The first thing you should look for is whether the treatment contains steroids, aloe Vera or hydrocortisone. It should, if it does, that you should make sure you consult with a physician as soon as possible. The reason why you need to consult a physician is that these topical agents can cause a build-up of fluid under the skin which can cause long-term damage to the cells of the skin. This can lead to facial eczema in the long-term. If the doctor gives you a prescription for a steroid cream, you should follow his or her advice, as they will often have instructions about the duration you can use the cream or lotions and about how often to apply them.

Another thing to look for in a cream or lotion is whether it contains ingredients that can help to control your individual symptoms. For example, some facial eczema creams and ointments for the face contain light sensitive eczema eucalyptus oil. It is this ingredient that causes the flaking, itchy skin and redness that people with light sensitive eczema have. By using the cream or lotion on your face regularly, you should be able to reduce the frequency of the outbreaks to the levels of those people who don't suffer from light sensitive eczema.

Zinc tablets are also available over the counter to treat facial eczema, although as previously stated, they are not advisable for long-term use. As zinc does have a drying effect, however, those suffering from facial eczema will find that regular dosages are very effective at reducing the effects of itching, flaking and redness. The best time to take zinc is after bathing, in the morning and in the evening. However, zinc can also be taken by mouth in small doses, up to one hundred and twenty milligrams per dose, three times daily. You should contact your pharmacist to determine the appropriate dosage rate for you.

When looking for the best facial eczema creams and ointments, you'll quickly discover that many contain ingredients that have been proven to be very effective in treating this common but frustrating condition. A good rule of thumb is to look for a product that contains at least ten percent zinc oxide, as well as plant oils and emollients like Babassu oil, Avocado oil and Maracuja passion fruit extract. Along with these ingredients, look for products that also include natural vitamins and other nutrients like Vitamin E, Vitamin C and antioxidants like Vitamin A. Look for products that also promise a reduction in wrinkles and dryness. If possible, try and find a product that combines all of these ingredients into an effective whole.
