Gator Balm

I have been using the balm for my skin Repcillin eczema and a friend sent me an email about the new version of what is being produced in the United States, Oil Gator. They sent me to a page where I could sign up for a coupon. Has anyone used the product Gator oil? I would like to get some information on the Oil Gator, I guess I'll get 30 ml of it free in the coming weeks.

Hi Susan.

Treatment of eczema (Self-Care Home)

Remove everything that is causing the allergic reaction is the easiest and most effective treatment. This can be as simple as changing your laundry detergent or as difficult as moving to a new climate or changing jobs.

Prevent dry skin by taking a warm shower (not hot) rather than baths. Use a mild soap or body cleanser. Dry yourself thoroughly and apply moisturizing lotion to the skin throughout the body. Avoid lotions, perfumes or other irritants.

Avoid wearing tight clothes, rough or scratchy.

Avoid scratching the rash. If you can not prevent you from scratching, cover the area with a bandage. Wear gloves at night to minimize the damage of the skin against scratches.

Anything that causes perspiration can irritate the rash. Avoid strenuous exercise during an eruption.

If the agent causing the allergy can not be removed or identified, the next step is to reduce the allergic inflammatory response.

aec Apply cream counter a steroid (hydrocortisone) with anti-itch lotion (menthol / camphor, such as calamine). The cream should be applied as often as possible without skipping days before the rash has disappeared.
aec Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) in pill form can be taken for itching. Warning - this medicine may make you too drowsy to drive or operate machinery safely.
aec Clean the area with a hypoallergenic soap every day. Apply lubricating cream or lotion after washing.

Avoid physical and mental stress. While eating, low activity and adequate sleep will help you stay healthy, which can help prevent relapses.

Do not expect a quick response. Eczema is easier to control than cure.

Treatment of eczema (medical treatment)

Once your health care provider is sure that you have eczema, the mainstays of therapy are anti-inflammatory relief of itching.

steroid cream prescription-strength medications and antihistamines are the usual treatments.

dietary and chemical skin-drying agents can also be offered, but their success is controversial.

For severe cases not responding to steroid cream high power, alternative treatments can be tried. These include coal tar, PUVA (psoralen + ultraviolet A) and chemotherapy agents.

Take care. Regards.
