Patient discussion about dermatitides.

Q. I have atopic dermatitis and its been out of control : ( i was wondering any suggestions what to do? This past year i have experienced 2 bacterial infections due to my open soars as well as a viral infection in which i was hospitalized. im so fusterated and scared i dont know what to do.. i personally dont think that creams and ointments work all that well. From what i have gathered eczema comes from the inside out? :S i also have allergies i tend to be allergic to everything environmental, animals dust, mold, as well as oral allergy syndrom to alot of foods. which is very difficult. i have been to numerous doctors and specialsist and they dont know what to do. the next step is to put me on an oral medication, sure it prevents it from coming but there are also alot of disadvantages to taking the pill. They also wanted me to go for uvb lights which are knowen to treat psriosis, which personalyy i dont feel it helps me ..realie.. eczema and psriosis are 2 totally diff skin diseases.. someone . PLEASEE HELP .. : )

A. this actualy works.. one tsp. of apple cider vinegar per day diluted in alot of water or apple juice. my son who is 3 yrs. old had horrible sores from ecsima and it was cleared up within 2 wks. he had been struggling with the condition his whole life and now he has been clear for 6mos. topically applied it burns like hell so dont apply it topically untill after the first week of treatment with dilution of water taken internally. by then the sores and itching should be gone..
don't do steroide cream unless necessary, the side affects greatly out weigh the potential good. i sincerely hope this helps you. let me know..

Q. My son has atopic dermatitis that is treated with topical cream. Is he in a greater risk for other diseases? My 1 year old son has atopic dermatitis. We treat him with topical cream and he is getting better. What kind of a diseases is this? Is he in a greater risk for other diseases because of his skin lesions?

A. Your son has an increased risk for other diseases. this is not because of his skin lesions but because of the base pathology of his diseases. Atopic dermatitis is an immunological disease and someone that has it is in a greater risk to have other immunological diseases. It is not connected to how much you care for him or how much you keep him clean.
My little brother had atopic dermatitis when he was 9 months old and now he is 12 years old and he is healthy

Q. What are the causes of dermatitis herpetiformis?

A. Dermatitis herpetiformis is an autoimmune disease that causes clusters of extremely itchy blisters on the skin. The autoimmune system normally protects the body from infection and disease. When the autoimmune system malfunctions, something triggers the body to generate an immune response against itself. Dermatitis herpetiformis is caused by proteins called glutens found in foods containing wheat, barley, or rye. Normally, the immune system sends antibodies to attack foreign invaders in the body, such as infections. However, in people with dermatitis herpetiformis, the glutens trigger the immune system to attack the patient’s own skin.
