Beating the itch Part 2 (Teacher: Michael)
Even in adult life, between two and 10 per cent of
Select
that
the
an
a
population will, at some, time, experience about of eczema, although it is usually less severe.
Yet despite
Select
that
the
an
a
prevalence of
Select
that
the
an
a
condition there is
Select
that
the
an
a
enormous amount of ignorance surrounding it.
Eczema is
Select
that
the
an
a
general name given to
Select
that
the
an
a
number of conditions which make
Select
that
the
an
a
skin inflamed and uncomfortable and can be triggered by
Select
that
the
an
a
enormous number of things, including food, chemicals, allergies, stress and
Select
that
the
an
a
environment - but it is not infectious.
Case Study
Gwynneth and her husband Simon have
Select
that
the
an
a
daughter Molly, aged 21 months, who has suffered from eczema since she was five weeks old. "Even before she could scratch, Molly would lie in her cot and rub her face on
Select
that
the
an
a
sheets," says Gwynneth.
Gwynneth and Simon, with
Select
that
the
an
a
help of
Select
that
the
an
a
supportive GP and their families, did everything they could to make Molly more comfortable. They bought 100 per cent cotton clothing (even
Select
that
the
an
a
thread used to sew
Select
that
the
an
a
garment must be cotton), experimented with different kinds of nappies, creams and ointments, and tried to keep Molly away from potential allergens.
Molly is
Select
that
the
an
a
particularly happy and tolerant child, who now applies her own creams, and her ebullience helped Gwynneth and Simon through
Select
that
the
an
a
worst times. But they know how far-reaching
Select
that
the
an
a
effects of eczema can be. Few people appreciate
Select
that
the
an
a
financial cost of finding clothes, shoes and bedding
Select
that
the
an
a
won't make
Select
that
the
an
a
condition worse.
Some families take up all
Select
that
the
an
a
carpets and replace furniture to remove
Select
that
the
an
a
threat of dust-mite allergies. Sometimes pets have to go.
Gwynneth says: "I used to get very angry about eczema because there is no definite cure, it's all
Select
that
the
an
a
question of trial and effort."
The National Eczema Society in Britain has
Select
that
the
an
a
range of fact sheets, booklets, guides and reports about eczema, including guidelines for employers.
