Eczema : Eczema is also known as atopic dermatitis, or atopic eczema (the most common form of eczema). Atopic eczema mainly affects children, but it can continue into adulthood or start later in life. Eczema symptoms include itchy, red, and dry skin caused by inflammation. It’s most commonly found in children, although adults can get it. It is also called atopic dermatitis and is treated with oral medications, steroid creams and light therapy .
Drugs used
Tacrolimus, Hydrocortisone, Dexamethasone, Prednisone
Hemorrhoids : Hemorrhoids are vascular structures in the anal canal which help with stool control. Conservative treatment typically consists of nutrition rich in dietary fiber, uptake of oral fluids to maintain hydration, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)s, sitz baths, and rest.A number of office based procedures may be performed. Rubber band ligation is typically recommended as the first line treatment in those with grade 1 to 3 disease.Sclerotherapy involves the injection of a sclerosing agent, such as phenol, into the hemorrhoid. This causes the vein walls to collapse and the hemorrhoids to shrivel up. A number of surgical techniques may be used if conservative management and simple procedures fail.
Nappy Rash : Nappy rash is common and can happen no matter how careful you are about looking after your baby’s bottom. Almost all children who wear nappies will get nappy rash at some stage. Many things can combine to cause nappy rash in your child. The main cause is wearing a wet or dirty nappy for too long. Prolonged dampness, friction and ammonia substances released from urine can irritate your child’s skin.
Symptoms
The skin in your child’s nappy region will look red and sore. Sometimes the rash might go up onto your child’s tummy and bottom. Some areas of skin might be raised or swollen, and there might be some ulcers. The skin folds aren’t usually involved because urine doesn’t get onto them.
The rash can cause discomfort and pain, which can make your baby irritable.
Treatment
• Use an appropriate protective cream after each nappy change. Apply a simple cheap barrier cream (for example, zinc and castor oil, vaseline jelly) thickly with every change. You can get these creams from a supermarket or your chemist without a prescription. Talcum-based powders aren’t recommended for nappy rash, because accidentally breathing in a puff of talcum powder can cause breathing difficulties in babies.
