Eczema affects about 10-15% of adults and 12-25% of children, including 80-90% of children under 5 years old. It is characterized by recurring, long-term inflammation of the skin. There is no cure, but there are many prescription and non-prescription (aka over-the-counter) products available to help ease the inflammation and itch.
This skin condition can be mild to severe and can cause sleeplessness, irritability, stress, thickening skin or even intense pain. If the itch is so bad, you may inadvertently scratch or tear your skin, which can lead to infections at the eczema site.
Eczema can “flare-up” when exposed to irritants like soap, detergents, abrasive clothing, perfumes, dust, excessive sweating, or low humidity. To avoid these flare-ups, all you can really do is avoid the irritant. If you do get a reaction, your doctor can prescribe a medication (either prescription, or non-prescription) to help ease the pain.
Don’t worry, eczema is not contagious. It can look unsightly, and make the sufferer feel uncomfortable, but it is not transferrable. If you think you have eczema, talk to your doctor who will give you a physical examination to diagnose this skin condition.
Once diagnosed with eczema, your doctor may prescribe different medications including, antibiotics, antihistamines, cortisone creams, coal tar preparations, and phototherapy. You can also discuss various herbal remedies or alternative treatments for your condition.
No matter what prescription, non-prescription, alternative, or natural remedies and medications your doctor may prescribe, chances are you can find them at an online pharmacy and save up to 70%! Ordering online is just as safe as getting the products from your local pharmacy as long as you do your research and make sure the pharmacy is reputable and certified.
All you need to do is browse, or search, their online inventory, add the products you need to your “shopping cart,” enter your shipping and billing information, and sit back and wait for your order to be processed and delivered directly to your door. If you’re ordering prescription products, you will also need to fax or snail-mail your prescription to the pharmacy when you order.
