Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis) is a chronic, non-contagious inflammatory skin condition that causes dryness, redness, and itching. It can occur at any age, though it is most common in children.
At Victory Homoeo Speciality Clinic in Bangalore, our expert homoeopaths offer homeopathy treatment for eczema in Bangalore, which aims to address the underlying causes. The approach focuses on supporting your immune system, improving skin health, and reducing the risk of future flare-ups.
Eczema typically presents as dry, itchy, and inflamed areas on your skin. These symptoms may become more severe when exposed to allergens, changes in temperature, or periods of stress.
It is important to note that eczema is not contagious. The condition results from an imbalance in your immune system, which leads to visible skin symptoms.
Conventional treatments, such as topical steroids or immunosuppressants, may provide temporary relief from symptoms, but they often do not address the underlying causes of eczema.
Homeopathy aims to support your immune system by regulating immune responses. This approach may help reduce inflammation, promote skin healing, and restore balance to your skin from within.
The 2023 double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial by Mandal et al. (India) included 60 adult patients with atopic dermatitis. Patients receiving individualised homeopathic medicines (IHMs) showed:
1. Atopic Eczema
Atopic eczema is an inherited allergic condition that is often associated with asthma or hay fever. It commonly affects areas such as the scalp, neck, elbows, and knees.
2. Contact Dermatitis
Contact dermatitis is triggered by exposure to allergens or irritants, including substances like detergents, metals, or chemicals.
3. Xerotic Eczema
Xerotic eczema develops when your skin becomes excessively dry, particularly during the winter months. The affected skin may appear cracked and rough.
4. Seborrheic Dermatitis
Seborrheic dermatitis is characterised by greasy or flaky patches, often found on the scalp, eyebrows, and face. This condition can affect both adults and infants.
Eczema can develop or worsen due to:
1. Comprehensive Consultation
We conduct detailed case-taking covering symptoms, medical history, and emotional factors. This helps identify your specific eczema pattern.
2. Individualised Prescription
We select tailor-made homeopathic medicines to suit your constitution, immune response, and triggers.
3. Lifestyle & Diet Guidance
We provide personalised advice on diet
and skincare. This supports a faster recovery.4. Continuous Monitoring
Regular follow-up appointments are crucial for monitoring your progress and making any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
Many patients begin to notice improvement within 4 to 8 weeks of starting treatment. Complete restoration of the skin may take 3 to 6 months, depending on the duration of the condition and adherence to the recommended care plan.
1. How long does homeopathy take to treat eczema?
Mild cases of eczema may start to improve within 4 to 8 weeks of beginning homeopathic treatment. Chronic or severe cases often require 3 to 6 months for significant improvement, depending on the severity and individual response to treatment.
2. Is homeopathy safe for children? Yes, homeopathy is considered safe for children. It may also help reduce the risk of future recurrences by supporting immune function.
3. Is eczema a fungal infection?
No. Eczema is an immune-related inflammatory skin condition, not a fungal infection.
4. Can I use coconut oil for eczema?
Coconut oil can help temporarily relieve dryness, but it does not address the underlying causes of eczema. Homeopathic treatment focuses on restoring internal balance for more lasting improvement.
