Behandeling van Vogel Eczeem - Effectieve Strategieën en Advies

Treatment

Since treatment is the only route to get relief from genital eczema, it’s important that you talk to your healthcare provider at the first sign of symptoms. Several factors need to be taken into consideration when developing a treatment plan, including the type of eczema, the cause, and how severe it is.

Home Remedies

If the eczema was caused by an allergen or irritant, such as a type of clothing or soap, discontinuing their use will usually clear up the condition. You may also be able to manage mild genital eczema at home with the following tips:

• Use a humidifier.
• Address stress or mental health issues that could be causing flare-ups if you have eczema on other areas of your body.
• Avoid using harsh soaps like those that are scented or contain alcohol.
• Use a cold compress to help relieve discomfort in the area.
  

Over-the-Counter Remedies

You can also manage your condition by improving the function of the skin barrier. The skin barrier is the uppermost layer of your skin, and it's designed to protect the body from moisture loss and prevent certain things such as allergens from getting into the body via the skin.

For people with eczema, the skin barrier doesn't work as it should. You can improve your skin barrier function using products that contain ceramide.

Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen may also be effective for reducing burning, pain, and inflammation in the genital area. In some cases, antihistamines can reduce inflammation. Some specific OTC antihistamines to try include Benadryl, Zyrtec, Claritin, and Allegra.

Prescription Treatments

If OTC remedies don't work or the cause isn't an irritant, your doctor will likely prescribe topical steroids and a moisturizer to be used on the area. The most common steroid used for groin eczema is hydrocortisone.

Topical steroids should be used once or twice per day and only in small amounts. The topical steroids used should also be applied at least 30 minutes before using a moisturizer so the medication does not become diluted by the moisturizer and doesn't spread to areas unaffected by genital eczema.

What to Look For

You should purchase organic, cold-pressed neem oil. Organic means that the neem trees were grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides, while cold pressed refers to neem oil that was processed without an external heat source, which can damage the quality of the oil.

Because there is not enough research about the oil's therapeutic capabilities, you should avoid purchasing neem oil from brands that make bold health claims about the efficacy of the product to cure conditions. Neem oil should be used in conjunction with and should not replace other prescribed treatments for eczema.

Neem oil should be a cloudy yellow color and have a garlic-like odor. Make sure to store neem oil in a cool, dark place to prevent the oil from losing its potency.
