Hair Loss Caused By Eczema

The normal hair life cycle lasts for 2 to 3 years. About 90% of the hair on your scalp is growing all the time and about 10% of the hair is in a resting phase. After 2-3 months, the resting hair is shed and new hair starts to grow in its place. It is normal to shed some hair every day. Averagely, people lose roughly 100 hair strands every day. But, some people may experience more than normal hair loss. Partial or complete loss of hair is called alopecia.
Excessive hair loss, thinning, or breakage can be caused by the use of hair care products, such as dyes and permanents, and from hot rollers, curling irons, or hair dryers, also because of the side-effects of medicines or medical treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy. It can be caused by hair-pulling or hair-twisting habits, damage to the hair shafts from burns or other injuries, poor nutrition, especially lack of protein or iron in the diet, diseases, such as lupus and hyperthyroidism, heavy metal poisoning, such as thallium or arsenic
                                                                    poisoning and recent surgery, high fever, or emotional stress.
Besides psoriasis, eczema is another non-contagious skin disease that can cause hair loss. It produces scales, reddened inflamed skin that periodically exudes and itches. The exact cause of eczema is unknown, but it’s thought to be linked to an overactive response by the body’s immune system to an irritant. It is this response that causes the symptoms of eczema. Psoriasis and eczema are different diseases that usually require different treatments, but there are certain treatments that can help with both. Symptoms of eczema are extreme buildup and sores on the scalp, and it can cause severe scarring. The buildup can lead to temporary hair loss, while the scarring can occur if a person scratches the painfully itchy lesions, so the permanent damage of the hair follicles occurs.
It can be caused by toxemia as well and permanent relief is occurs once the cause of the toxemia is removed, so the best way to fight it is cleansing and drinking plenty of purified water. The dietary recommendations have certain restrictions, because there is usually an increased sensitivity to fish-therefore it should be eaten in a limited amount. Generally, there is a high intolerance of cow’s milk, because eczema is highly associated with allergies, so the replacement is recommended – you should use soy milk or goat’s milk instead.
It is highly important to contact your doctor who will prescribe the right treatment for you if you have scalp problems. Since the disease makes skin dry and itchy, lotions and creams are recommended to keep the skin moist. These products are usually applied when the skin is damp, such as after bathing, to help the skin retain moisture. Cold compresses may also be used to relieve itching. Marbo Lotion completely cleanses and heals the scalp, resulting in strong and healthy follicles, free of unwanted grease and dandruff resulting in discontinuation of hair breaking or hair loss. The hair becomes thicker and firmer.

Dry Skin Is Often Caused by Our Skin Care Products - Even Those Designed for Dry Skin

Skin Care Products Often Causes Dry Skin


Despite the volumes of information available to us, there is a surprising number of people who do not realize that most of our skin care products, cosmetics and other body and personal care products contain harmful chemicals. These chemicals cause dry skin, eczema and other skin conditions and, as they are absorbed into the body through the skin, also cause damage to our internal organs. Fortunately, we now have shielding lotion to protect us from those chemicals and to help with eczema and dry skin care but, really, it would be better to get rid of the chemicals causing the conditions. Where do you start? Your best bet is probably the elimination of any product containing fragrances.
What’s wrong with fragrances? One of the major problems is the ingredient known as
toluene, a pleasant-smelling substance made from petroleum or coal tar. Although there haven’t been enough studies done on humans to determine whether or not toluene causes cancer, it is well-known to damage the central nervous system and can also cause anemia, lowered blood cell count, and damage to the liver and kidneys. Pregnant woman exposed to toluene have been known to give birth to deformed babies.
Toluene also breaks down the skin’s natural protective layer resulting in rashes and red, dry, itchy skin.
Amazingly, toluene is contained in almost all synthetic perfumes and other fragrances, in nail polishes, cosmetics and other skin care products. It is any wonder why the prevalence of dry skin and eczema has reached epidemic proportions?
As many personal and skin care products don’t have all the ingredients on the label or even on the company’s website – try finding out the ingredients in nail polish or perfume on one of the manufacturer’s sites: nothing there whatsoever – it’s difficult to tell whether or not the eczema and dry skin care products you buy contain toluene or not. However, if the label says the product contains petroleum distillates, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), benzoic or benzyl, you’re dealing with toluene.
It’s unfortunate that the skin care and cosmetics industry is not more tightly regulated – it’s can be really hard to sift through all the information on toxic chemicals and figure out what’s dangerous and what’s not.
Your best bet is to get familiar with the companies that produce natural skin care products, do some pretty thorough research on their ingredients and their philosophy and, once you find one that’s reputable, try to use their products as much as possible. Of course, you should also always use a shielding lotion: A good shielding lotion bonds with the outer layer of the skin to form a new protective layer that keeps out chemicals. You may not be able to eliminate everything that causes dry skin, but you can at least treat it effectively with a good shielding lotion.
