Abstract

Eczema (old nomenclature: atopic eczema, atopic dermatitis) is a chronic, disabling non-contagious inflammation of the skin associated with pruritus that occurs predominantly in children. In industrialized countries, the prevalence of eczema has been increasing for decades and is estimated at 10–20% among children of school age and 1–3% among adults. Eczema can have a major impact on the quality of life (QoL) of sufferers and their families owing to loss of sleep or working. A natural alternative if present it would be welcome. Natural treatment of eczema currently is of considerable interest among dermatologists. Classic homeopathic medicine can be used as a holistic natural treatment of eczema. homeopathic medicine in the conventional dermatology practice include low cost, availability, ease of administration, patient acceptability, and reduction in topical steroid use. Additionally, patients also may see improvements in symptoms caused by seemingly unrelated medical conditions when their eczema is treated holistically with homeopathic medicine.
