most people know it is not a bad thing just say you have it and in a few day it will clear up with the help of lotions and creams.

I know what you are talking about as well.  My daughter and I both get this.  We are blond/blue and we get this on the underside of our upper arms.  It is not scabies, eczema or psoriasis. I have known people with all of those conditions, and this ain't it!  I will have to research KP and look for pictures.  KP sounds "stronger" than what we have.  I have noticed that the bumps are not as pronounced in the summer when I have been out in the sun more.  Also, as I have gotten older (I am 34 now), they are not as pronounced.  Good luck to you (and us!)

You may want to try taking sugar out of your diet and applying Aloe Vera gel to the area after bathing and whenever it itches.  The Aloe can eventually heal it almost completely if you apply it consistently. For extremely itchy eczema, you may want to try applying cooked, watery oatmeal to the area when it's really acting up. It can take the itch out almost immediately! Make sure you stop using any of the above if you seem to be having an allergic reaction or if it seems to make it worse, because people with eczema often have allergies to all sorts of normal every day things that don't bother other people.

the definition of a "condition" is- A disease or physical ailment. so there is no distinction between the words. \nEczema is a general term encompassing various inflamed skin conditions. One of the most common forms of eczema is atopic dermatitis (or "atopic eczema"). \nEczema is not contagious and, like many diseases, currently cannot be cured. However, for most patients the condition may be managed well with treatment and avoidance of triggers

Itching (pruritis) is not a symptom of anemia.  You may have simple dry skin.

I have had eczema off and on my entire life so I can definitely synpathize.  PROTOPIC is the ointment my dermatologist gave me and it was the only medicine I have EVER used that got rid of it.  I had an extremely sever case of it on my hands, out of nowhere, and I found out that what was causing it to surface was that I was using scented lotions like from Bath and Body works.   The chemicals in perfumed lotions and creams causes the rash to surface and irritate your skin.  Ask your doctor if Protopic would be right for you, put it on the spots, and do not over medicate. Stay away from cleaning chemicals such as bleach, comic, items like this and scented lotions and soaps. Ivory is the best.  Hope this helps.

(m)\n\nThe terms eczema and dermatitis are now used synonymously. They refer to a distinctive reaction pattern of the skin showing a combination of signs which depend on the duration of rash and type of eczema. \n\n\n\nHomeopathy offers very good treatment for eczema, but the approach used by homeopaths is very different from that of conventional treatment. Homeopaths usually do not give anything to apply topically. Instead they try to remove the basic disposition/sensitivity to develop such a lesion using internal medicine. This approach not only successfully removes the eczema but also removes the possibility of development of  other hypersensitivity disorders like asthma after the eczema is cured. To find the proper remedy a homeopath collects all the past medical history of the person, his/her family history, his/her physical and psychological characteristics etc. All this information helps the homeopath to find a remedy which not only will remove the eczema but will also remove the disposition to acquire such diseases. As a note of caution I would like to add here that after a proper remedy is given the eczema may occasionally ( not often) show a mild flare up. This should not worry the patient  as it is often considered a good prognostic sign by homeopaths.\n\nThere are many medicines in homeopathy that are used for this condition. ars-alb, bovista,  dulcamara, graphites, lycopodium, mezereum, peteroleum, rhus-tox, sulphur, cicuta etc are some commonly used medicines. But which medicine will work in a particular case can only be judged by a trained homeopath.

I've had eczema since high school ( sucks doesn't it -lol-), you can try "Aveeno skin relief moisturizing cream" to help relieve the itching. It works really well when even my medication doesn't help.\nIt has a nice cool feeling when you put in on and it stops the itching. You can get it at any pharmacy or market, it's kinda expensive $10 up (?).

Eczema can be extremely uncomfortable, because the more it itches, the more it is scratched, and the more it's scratched, the more it itches. This cycle may be triggered by an allergy to a particular food or pollen; it may be a contact dermatitis, caused by a particular fabric, or it might flare up because of emotional tension created by family arguments or anxiety about schoolwork. Eczema should be treated by  the family doctor who may be able to discover its source and prevent further attacks. Advertised cures for eczema cannot control the cause and sometimes make the condition worse.

If eczema starts later it is usually caused by an allergic reaction to something\n\nit could be dietary, or even washing powder or soap\n\nIf you havnt tried any new products/food (which would be a first guess), it could actually be something you have been exposed to for years!\n\nYou can build up an allergy to something- like your favorite washing powder or dust mites. Your body might have fought the allergen for years, and finally succumbed to the allergen. \n\nwash all your clothes and bed sheets in hot water and pure soap to kill dust mites, use gloves while washing dishes, and try not to wear synthetic clothing and see if this helps to relieve your eczema. \n\nUse a GOOD FRAGRANCE FREE moisturiser to stop cracking and infection in the meantime\n\nIf not, the eczema may be caused by your diet or something else. See your doctor for an allergy test.

Because you have eczema, your skin may be very sensitive to most creams. Try Eucerin cream or Cetaphil cream. Both are commonly recommended by dermatologists for eczema patients. (If you live near an Albertson's grocery store, their Albertson's Dry Skin Cream is half the price and the same as Eucerine. Walgreen's generic is too dry, in my opinion.)

I am not sure.\nAre you itching in one area of your body or all over?\nDid you eat something , then the itching started. \nDid you walk by a certain plant , then you started to itch?\nDid you use a certain perfume or cologne,then you started to itch?\nDid you put some lotion on your skin , then you started to itch?\nDo you have dry skin? \nAll except for dry skin, would be allergic reaction to something that that you put on, inhale, or eat. \ntry and remember.\nIf this is the case some Benadryl would help.\nCall your Doctor and let him know and also let him know if you have taken anything for it. Might need to do Allergy test to see which of these you are allergic to , if it is indeed allergic reaction.\nHope I was able to help.

sometimes it can be related to a skin allergy, such as different types of soaps or dyes, your arms and upper back would be the most sensitive to these products, see if there is something you can change such as your laundry soap or bathsoap, and see if that helps. Otherwise it would be best to see a dermatologist for an allergy test. Lost of luck.\n\nContact dermatitis is the result of an allergen (allergic contact dermatitis) or irritant (irritant contact dermatitis) that contacts the skin (e.g., plant dermatitis or diaper rash). Hives are smooth bumps that suddenly appear on the body. Angioedema is similar to hives, but involves welts that form at a deeper layer of the skin.
