If dry, cracked, and generally irritated skin has adults in pain periodically due to an allergic reaction, stress, or weather, imagine the pain children and infants who have developed eczema go through. There have been supposed “miracle cures” for decades hoping to be the end to eczema but without expensive and dangerous prescription drugs; people searching a more natural approach have been silently suffering.

As a form of dermatitis, eczema is a broad term for a whole range of various skin conditions. The common denominator in all of these problems is that they are all consistent in the patient with symptoms like edema/swelling, dryness, itching, crusting, oozing, and blistering.

Infantile eczema, for example, is a common case called atopic eczema which is a skin disease revolving around allergens. Believed to be hereditary, infantile eczema is often transmitted to babies through families who have a history of asthma and hay fever. Usually associated with red blotchy rashes on sensitive areas such as the head, neck, bottom, and inside the joints like between the fingers, under the knees, and inside the elbows, eczema can occur anywhere on the skin.

While searching for natural, healthy, and alternative soothers for childhood eczema, there are several different products that claim to be better than the scores of lotions, gels, creams, oatmeal baths, and powders aimed at “severely dry skin,” and are supposedly great for kids because of their highly sensitive skin. Because there is temptation to scratch an itch, it is important for parents to be able to control eczema, not only to prevent it from worsening in the present but also to ward off unsightly scars on their child’s skin.

Until recently, the most commonly recommended creams and salves happen to contain steroids which, while helpful, often cause more problems later on for the child. Steroids are powerful and full of dangerous chemicals which can cause thinning of the skin, and skin infections.

We’ve all heard the phrase, “I am going to pull my hair out,” from someone in a stressful situation, but there are actually many Americans who suffer from urges to pull their hair and have been diagnosed with a disease called trichotillomania.

Trichotillomania is a condition where sufferers have compulsive urges to pull on their hair, many times pulling it out, causing bald areas. There is new evidence that a daily dose of amino acids, found in health food stores, may curb the urge to pull ones hair.

Amino acids are readily available at any health food store and are relatively inexpensive, costing between $20 and $25, for a month’s supply.

For those who suffer from the condition, this would be a minimal price to pay versus the potential embarrassment for early balding, especially for children and young adults, where more emphasis is placed on appearances.

The team of researchers noted, as effective treatments for trichotillomania arise, it is important for medical staffs to be aware of the condition and its signs and symptoms, and screen patients for the disorder, to help provide prompt medical attention.

Even though the research proved positive, the perfect dose and duration of amino acid treatment has not been determined and anyone wanting to try amino acid therapy, as treatment for trichotillomania may want to discuss the treatment with their doctor.

With a huge market of dry skin potions made of oils and natural herbal extracts and super duty all-day extra dry hand creams aimed at keeping skin moist throughout the harshest of conditions, dry hair seems to be the first part of the body that is neglected. Even though winter is almost over, dry skin doesn’t end with the first day of spring and your hair needs to be taken care of just as much as cracked hands, feet, or elbows.

Having an itchy, dry scalp can not only be annoying but sometimes unsightly and embarrassing by showing up on your clothes. When the scalp is very dry the follicles flake off in little white sheets that can fall from your head when you least expect them, unlike dandruff, having a dry scalp can be caused by too much sun, too much shampooing, blow drying, chlorine, or coloring among other harsh ways of stripping the natural oils from your hair. When dry scalp flakes occur normally they are slight and only occur once every month as the skin sheds.

Hair masks can also be temporarily beneficial for overly dry hair. Oils such as almond, avocado, olive, rosemary, shea, and burdock among others can be mixed with honey and used on the hair to restore the moisture. Another natural remedy is mixing egg yolks and massaging them onto the hair and scalp and some people like to use mayonnaise to revive dry hair.
