Eczema and Psoriasis: Affordable and Effective Treatment
Introduction
Discovering an effective, low-cost treatment for eczema based on personal experience can be groundbreaking. Despite limited awareness in the medical community and the public, this approach may also benefit those suffering from psoriasis due to the similarities between the two conditions.
Understanding Eczema
Eczema is a hereditary skin condition characterized by red, flaky skin, often accompanied by cracks or tiny blisters. If both parents have eczema, their children have an 80% chance of inheriting it.
Traditional Treatments
In the past, with medical insurance, I relied on various medications and creams that offered temporary relief. However, they never reduced the frequency or severity of my eczema attacks. Topical cortisone creams provided some itch relief, but they only suppressed the symptoms and could potentially cause spreading. Stress is also thought to trigger eczema, a theory I believe based on my severe year-long episode during a stressful period in 2004-2005. Despite seeking medical advice, new treatments generally involved costly ultraviolet light therapy or internal medications with risks of liver damage?"options I found unacceptable.
A New Discovery
One day, after a doctor's visit, I wandered into a health food store. A certified nutritionist there spoke of an alternative treatment: liquid zinc applied topically. Skeptical but hopeful, I purchased a bottle. To my surprise, it eased the itching and reduced inflammation. Recalling that Desitin, a baby rash remedy, uses zinc oxide, I wondered about the effects of taking zinc internally. Following the nutritionist's advice, I started with a daily dose of 75 mg of zinc and gradually increased it to 200 mg.
Results and Reflections
Eczema often frustrated me, with each blister feeling like an internal attack. But now, armed with zinc, my experience has drastically improved. Eight months into my experiment, the first signs of an outbreak no longer escalate. The blisters heal quickly, often without itching?"a remarkable change from my lifelong pattern.
Recommendations
If you're considering trying zinc, opt for "chelated" zinc. Chelation links minerals to amino acids, enhancing absorption into the bloodstream. This method, discovered in the early 1980s, makes minerals more bioavailable.
Conclusion
My journey with zinc has been transformative, and I hope sharing this experience helps others dealing with similar conditions. If you're struggling with eczema or psoriasis, this affordable treatment might offer the relief you seek.
