Extractions: Welcome to the Eczema Mailing List The Eczema Mailing List is an automated mailing list which allows people with eczema to share their experiences of living with and managing eczema. The list is also open to people such as parents of children with eczema and people with a professional interest in eczema. It is not open to those with a commercial interest in Eczema or people wishing to advertise products or services. The discussion on the list varies from people sharing their own experiences of orthodox and alternative treatments to people discussing the emotional and social aspects of eczema. The list works rather like a USENET news group or a CompuServe forum. The difference is that you send and receive all the messages by e-mail. Postings to the list can only be read by subscribers.

What Is Eczema? What is eczema? eczema is a group of skin complaints that can affect all age groups and can occur anywhere on the body. What are the causes of eczema? http://www.irishhealth.com/clin/eczema/ecz_what.html
Extractions: Eczema is a group of skin complaints that can affect all age groups and can occur anywhere on the body. It is an inflammatory response of the skin to a variety of external or internal influences. These may act individually or there may be a number of them causing the problem. The terms dermatitis and eczema are synonymous and do not refer to two different conditions. The terms are interchangeable. Eczema is named from a Greek word that means 'to boil'. The term dermatitis means inflammation of the skin. It is estimated that about one in 10 people are affected by eczema at some point in their lives. Eczema can be very difficult and sometimes even miserable for sufferers. Many types of eczema cannot be cured but they can be controlled. A good knowledge of the condition combined with a willingness to develop daily skincare routines or take prevention measures is the key to controlling eczema.

Infected Eczema eczema herpeticum This occurs as a result of the eczema being infected with the herpes simplex virus, the virus that produces cold sores. http://www.irishhealth.com/clin/eczema/ecz_infect.html
Extractions: One of the common reasons for eczema to become more severe is a bacterial infection. A bacterium called Staphylococcus aureus is the main culprit, although other kinds of infection are not unknown. Staph. aureus is present on the skin of people with eczema (even when the skin is not particularly inflamed) in much greater concentration than it is found on skin without eczema. A minority of people with eczema suffer from frequent relapses. Their complaint responds well to antibiotic treatment, but gets worse when the antibiotics are stopped. In many of these people, Staph aureus works to 'switch on' the eczema.
FDA Approves New Treatment For Eczema The Food abd Drug Adminsitration approved a new treatment for atopic dermatitis (eczema). FDA APPROVES NEW TREATMENT FOR eczema. http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/ANSWERS/ANS01060.html
Extractions: FDA Talk Papers are prepared by the Press Office to guide FDA personnel in responding with consistency and accuracy to questions from the public on subjects of current interest. Talk Papers are subject to change as more information becomes available. Print Media: 301-827-6242 December 8, 2000 Consumer Inquiries: 888-INFO-FDA FDA APPROVES NEW TREATMENT FOR ECZEMA The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today approved a new treatment for atopic dermatitis (eczema) - a non-contagious skin condition that can cause redness, itching and oozing lesions. The drug is Protopic (tacrolimus) Ointment (0.1% and 0.03% for adults and 0.03% for children 2 years and older). The drug is for patients with moderate to severe eczema, for whom standard eczema therapies are deemed inadvisable because of potential risks, or who are not adequately treated by or who are intolerant of standard eczema therapies. FDA based its approval on the results of three 12- week studies which indicated that 28-37% of patients using Protopic experienced greater than or equal to 90% improvement of their skin condition, as measured by physicians, and two one year studies that indicated that the drug is safe for intermittent long term use. Common side effects associated with this drug include temporary stinging or burning sensations where the drug is applied, which may lessen if the diseased skin heals. There was evidence from an animal study that Protopic Ointment may accentuate the adverse effects of ultraviolet light on the skin. Therefore, it is important that patients avoid sunlight and sun lamps, tanning beds, and treatment with UVA or UVB light. Patients who need to be outdoors after applying Protopic should wear loose fitting clothing that protects the treated area from the sun. In addition, patients should ask their health care providers what other type of protection from the sun to use.
