A YATTON mother has set up a parental support group to help people caring for children suffering from eczema.

Annie Westaways daughter, Chloe, suffers with the common skin condition but because of its variety in severity, it can make treating it a bit of a headache.

The lack of information inspired Annie to start the group, which will meet this week for the first time.

Annie, who lives in Wood Kiln, said: It sounds like nothing, but when you are a parent, it takes up a lot of your time.

Ive not met a child with so much bad eczema.

The more information you can get the easier it is to help your child.

A simple test measuring water evaporation from the skin of newborns could help identity those most at risk of developing eczema, according to a study.

Early identification of those at risk opens up the possibility of actually preventing eczema through an act as simple as applying moisturiser during the first year of life although those involved in the research said further studies are needed to back this up.

The Baseline Allergy study group, led by consultant paediatrician Jonathan Hourihane and research fellow Maeve Kelleher, both of University College Cork, and Alan Irvine of Trinity College Dublin measured water evaporation in the skin of 1,903 newborn babies in Cork University Hospital, and followed them up until 12 months of age.

Prof Hourihane described the test as painless and non-invasive, with a small probe placed on the childs arm. Its like putting a hollow toothbrush on the arm and the head measures the level of water evaporation in an enclosed area, he said.

This simple bedside test was carried out on the babies on day two following birth and at two months.

It could predict the development of eczema at 12 months if water evaporation levels were high, the child was more likely to develop eczema.

Another factor in developing eczema, a chronic inflammatory skin disease, was whether a childs parents also had allergies, as well as whether the child carried a mutation in the FLG gene, which governs the amount of filaggrin (a protein). A low level of this gene was the hallmark of eczema, Prof Hourihane said.

A filaggrin deficiency causes defects in skin barrier function, making eczema more severe and skin infections and allergies more common.

Approximately 10% of people carry a mutation in the FLG gene.

Prof Hourihane said if both parents suffer from allergies, a child had a 25%-40% chance of developing eczema in their first year. If the child had a filaggrin deficiency, the chance iss 40%-50%. However, if all three elements are involved parental allergies, filaggrin deficiency, and high water evaporation levels then the child was seven times more likely to have eczema at 12 months, despite having no visible skin barrier defect or eczema at the time of measurement before they left the maternity hospital.

With all the lotions, potions and serums we apply on our faces, it's easy to forget that radiant skin doesn't just come from what products we use. True healthy skin also comes from within. What we eat is just as important for skincare as what we apply topically. Wetalked to three nutrition and skin experts to learn exactly what to put in our grocery baskets and on our plates depending on commonskin issueblemishes, aging skin and eczema-prone skin.

Eating for Blemishes

Expert: Maria Marlowe, host of Institute for Integrative Nutrition series IINQuiry andhealth coach

It might seem intuitive, but our dietary habits are fantastic predictors of the quality of our skin. "If you think about it, skin is the body's largest organ and needs specific nutrients to look and perform its best," says Marlowe. "The foods we eat can both positively and negatively effect skin's performance and appearance.In order to get the most from your skin, you need to fuel it with nutrient-rich foods."

Marlowe says dark leafy greens such as kale and arugula are excellent sources of Vitamins A and C, which are rich in anti-oxidants and areimportant in the production of collagen and skin firmness, as well asskin differentiation, respectively. Leafy greens also are rich in sulfur, which is great for fighting bacterial inflammation in skin that causes acne.

Another must-have for fighting problem skin is the avocado. The creamy fruit isrich in fatty acids that aids in moisture retention. In addition, avocadoscontain vitamins E and Cboth of which prevent free radical damage. Finally, biotin, a known ingredient prominent in avocados that keeps skin supple and hair and nails healthy, is also anti-inflammatory. But that's not all. Marlowe says pairing an avocado with carotenoid-rich foods like tomatoes, carrots or bell peppers actually helps your body absorb anti-oxidants lycopene and beta carotene five times better both are critical in reducing UV damage and environmental aggressors.

Finally, a rather unexpected food that does wonders for skin are hemp seeds. Marlowe explains the tiny seeds actually pack a lot of punch The proteins inside contain a number of sulfur-rich amino acids that not only help with skin moisture and retention, but also hair, nail and muscle health. Hemp seeds have an "ideal ration of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids," says Marlowe. These anti-oxidants fight inflammation that causes pimples and breakouts by keeping skin's sebum in check. The sebum is responsible for keeping hair and skin moisturized, however if there's too much oil, acne and clogging can occur. Marlowe says to sprinkle hemp seeds in salads, oatmeal or smoothies to reap the benefits.
