Top 9 Homeopathic Medicines For Treating Scalp Eczema

Eczema is a condition that causes skin inflammation along with red, rough, dry and itchy skin. Other signs and symptoms may appear like flaking of skin, oily skin, thickening of skin, blister formation, itching, soreness, burning sensation, darkening of skin and pain. There are different types of scalp eczema. These mainly include seborrheic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis and cradle cap. The cause depends on the type of scalp eczema. Seborrheic dermatitis is a skin condition with red, inflamed skin covered by flakes/scales that are greasy and mainly appear on the scalp. Other areas where it may appear are behind the ear, on the face, eyelashes, eyebrows and chest. The exact reason behind seborrheic dermatitis is not clear yet. A few factors that may result in seborrheic dermatitis are overgrowth of mallasezia globose, (a type of yeast) found on the scalp and weak immunity. Other factors include greasy skin, a family history of seborrheic dermatitis, and an increase in androgen hormones.

Atopic dermatitis is a type of eczema which is thought to develop from dysfunction of the immune system. In this kind of eczema, genetic factors are thought to play a role. So persons with a family history of eczema or an atopic disease, for example, allergic rhinitis and asthma, are at risk. Atopic dermatitis commonly occurs in young children though persons of any age group can be affected.

Contact dermatitis refers to skin rash occurring from direct contact or an allergic reaction on coming in contact with an allergen (like hair care products, hair accessories, fragrances). Cradle cap is a skin condition that causes greasy, crusty patches on the baby’s scalp. Along with this, white or yellow scales form that are difficult to detach. Mild inflammation can attend it. Usually, no itching occurs in it. It occurs in the early months of the baby after birth and usually goes away before one year of age. Besides the scalp, the scales may also form on nose, eyelids, ears and groin. Cradle cap is also known as infantile seborrheic dermatitis.

Homeopathic Management

Allergy may occur from different cosmetics and beauty products like makeup products, lipsticks, nail polish, soaps, shampoo, lotions, perfumes, hair dyes, etc. Allergies can be mild leading to slight signs and symptoms or severe varying from case to case. It can cause allergies of two types. The first type is irritant contact dermatitis in which there is irritation and damage of the skin from cosmetics like a makeup product. Second type is allergic contact dermatitis in which there is an oversensitive reaction of the immune system to an allergen present in the cosmetic. Though an allergic reaction may happen on any body part but it usually occurs on the face, lips, eyes, neck and ears. The signs and symptoms may include a rash on the skin, hives (itchy bumps on skin from allergic reaction), reddish spots on skin; itchy, stinging or burning sensation on the skin, flaking or peeling of skin, blisters (fluid-filled bumps) on the skin, pustules (pus-filled bumps) on the skin and skin darkening.

Top 6 Homeopathic Medicines To Treat Recurrent Skin Abscess

Abscess refers to a lump containing pus. These commonly form on the skin but can also appear in organs like lungs, kidneys, liver, and tonsils. The abscess that forms on skin is known as cutaneous abscess. This article relates to the skin abscess only. In case of abscess on skin, pus may ooze out. Abscess can be painful and warm to touch. Redness and swelling may be seen in the abscess area on the skin.  An abscess results from an infection. An abscess develops when bacteria gain entry into the skin via damaged skin like a cut on the skin. It leads to pus formation and abscess development. The most common bacteria involved in abscess formation is staphylococcus aureus. But other bacteria can also lead to abscess like streptococcus pyogenes, mycobacterium tuberculosis and also fungal infections might lead to abscess formation in some cases. A cutaneous abscess can form on different areas on the skin and among these the common locations include armpits (axilla), perianal skin (area around the anus), groin (the area where the thigh and abdomen join) and on the skin above the tailbone. The abscess can be single or multiple varying from case to case. An abscess can heal and never reappear, while in some cases, there is a tendency of recurrent abscesses appearing now and then.

Some of the factors that contribute to the formation of recurrent abscess include diabetes, weak immunity, nutritional deficiencies like iron, poor blood circulation and suppressed immunity due to the use of systemic steroids. Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus may also be one of the reasons behind recurrent abscess. In some cases, a medical condition named hidradenitis suppurative may be the reason behind formation of recurrent abscess. This condition is also known by another name i.e. acne inversa. In this condition, small painful lumps appear under the skin in areas like armpits, buttocks, groin and breasts. These lumps tend to get well slowly and have a tendency to recur often. They may form tunnels under the skin connecting the abscesses, and leave scars. Pus and blood can get drained from these lumps and this discharge has a highly offensive smell. It generally affects areas like armpits, buttocks, groins, folds under the breast, nape of the neck, waist and genitals. This condition results from blockage of hair follicles and is not caused by poor hygiene. Some of the risk factors for this condition include family history of this condition, excessive hair growth, being overweight and smoking.  This condition is also associated with some medical conditions including arthritis (joint inflammation), intense acne, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD which is an autoimmune condition that inflames and damages the gastrointestinal tract).

Homeopathic medicines for healing abscess and overcoming tendency of recurrent abscess are prescribed individually for every case as per the presenting signs and symptoms.
