Researchers found that use of silk clothing does not improve children's eczema

Findings from the trial, which involved 300 children aged one to 15 years of age with moderate to severe eczema, suggest that wearing specialist silk garments does not reduce the severity of the skin condition, nor does it lessen the amount of cream and ointment needed to treat eczema.

Results of the CLOTHing for the relief of Eczema Symptoms trial (CLOTHES trial) are published in the journal PLOS Medicine.

According to researchers from the University of Nottingham, who led the trial, clothing has been thought to play a role in either soothing or making eczema symptoms worse, and specialist clothing is now available on prescription in the UK in a variety of forms, including silk.

The aim of the clinical trial was to determine whether adding silk garments to standard eczema care could reduce the severity of eczema in children with the condition.

Those who took part were split into two groups. One group continued with just their normal eczema treatments, while the other group used their normal eczema treatment and wore silk garments - long-sleeved silk vests and leggings, during the day and night. At the time of the trial, the same silk garments were available on prescription.

All the children continued regularly using emollient creams and topical steroids for controlling inflammation, and were asked not to change their standard treatment for the duration of the trial if possible.

Throughout the trial, their skin was assessed by nurses every two months using the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI), which measures how bad eczema is, for example how red and inflamed the skin looks, evidence of scratch marks and skin swelling. Researchers also assessed the childrens eczema symptoms, use of creams and steroids, quality of life and the number of skin infections and hospital admissions.

In terms of severity of eczema, quality of life and use of eczema medications, the researchers found no difference between the children in the two groups. The number of skin infections and hospitalisations due to eczema were also similar.

However, children who used the silk clothing did report small improvements in their eczema, but the differences were minimal.

Professor Kim Thomas from the Centre for Evidence-based Dermatology in the University of Nottinghams School of Medicine, who led the trial, said, The silk garments that we looked at as part of this trial did not appear to provide additional clinical or economic benefits over standard care for the management of children with eczema.

While some may find these results disappointing, we hope that patients and doctors will find the CLOTHES study useful in helping them to make informed decisions about how best to help children with eczema. Unfortunately, this trial suggests that silk clothing probably does not provide value for money for patients or for the NHS.

Diversity is required to create a healthy body politic and a healthy body, inside and out.

You've heard a lot about the various "good" and "bad" bacteria that make up your gut biome. But you may not know that your skin is also home to a wildly rich and, when healthy, very diverse bacterial soup.

Scientists have discovered that on healthy skin, harmful Staphylococcus aureus is kept in check by its friendlier cousin, Staphylococcus epidermidis.

But on people with eczema specifically atopic dermatitis (AD), the most common type of eczema there is an overgrowth of S. aureus compared to S. epidermidis.

When researchers check the biome in the inner elbow or the back of the knee on folks with AD, they find an imbalance of those microbes. And the less diversity there is the less healthy the skin.

But a skin biome transplant may be possible: When gram-negative bacteria is collected from healthy human skin and cultured in the lab, it can be put into a treatment (maybe a cream) that can knock out AD.

This breakthrough in understanding of the skin biome means that there's good news on the horizon for the 17.8 million Americans with AD.

So stay tuned for the next round of research and, in the meantime, try taking a probiotic capsule regularly. That can add healthful diversity to your skin biome, as well as your gut.

And if you have AD, avoid antibacterial soaps and household products that can further upset your skin biome.

New Ways to Control Eczema - Newsmax

A 30-year-old San Diego woman died last month after she received an IV of turmeric solution doled out by a naturopath.

Jade Erick was rushed to hospital on March 10 where she died six days later, U.S. reports say. A naturopathic doctor, Kim Kelly, had administered a 250-millilitre infusion of turmeric to Erick to treat her eczema. After just five millilitres, she became unresponsive, according to autopsy reports.

In the ICU, she was diagnosed with severe anoxic brain injury secondary to cardiopulmonary arrest, most likely due to turmeric infusion, the autopsy report read, according to NBC.

Her death had been ruled an accident. Experts admit its an incredibly rare incident but could it happen in Canada?

For starters, most provinces dont include turmeric or curcumin, which the Indian spice is extracted from, on their lists of approved substances for intravenous use.

In Ontario, we have a very limited scope for intravenous treatment vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and thats about it. We dont have access to curcumin, Dr. Eric Marsden, a naturopath and spokesperson for the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors, told Global News.

Turmeric is used in naturopathy for a handful of reasons, from treating inflammation to addressing neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimers.

But keep in mind, the IV solution in this case wasnt turmeric, but the extract.

Its not the stuff you cook with, Marsden said.

His guess is that Kelly turned to turmeric as an anti-inflammatory to treat Ericks eczema. It can be used for joint pain, or gastrointestinal inflammation, for example. It isnt traditionally relied on to treat skin conditions, though.

Meanwhile, intravenous therapy has existed since February 2003 in Ontario, Marsden said. Hes one of the first naturopathic doctors that taught IV therapy, he said.

Since then, its only gained in popularity, according to Dr. Paul Saunders, a naturopathic doctor and spokesman for the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors.

Doctors and patients need to focus ondeciphering if IV therapy is the best option.

We need to be careful, especially if were using a method thats more invasive, that were doing so for a good reason, and weve exhausted other less invasive options, Saunders said.

Its a great therapeutic modality that can make a major difference in patients but only when its used judiciously, appropriately and in a safe manner, he said.

Oral medication, and making tweaks to diet and lifestyle, are typically the first line of defence.

But IV therapy has its advantages: patients absorb much more than they would through oral medication. With vitamin C, for example, you can achieve 200-fold more concentration in the bloodstream than you would with oral medication, Marsden said.

In other cases, patients could have trouble with absorbing nutrients or they could deal with bouts of nausea, vomiting or inflammatory bowel syndrome from oral medications.

IV therapy removes those side effects.

Marsden turns to European mistletoe in IV form to help patients with cancer a complementary measure with their first line of treatment.

He also turns to vitamin C IV infusions to treat fatigue, cardiovascular issues, and even for pre- and post-surgical support.

The experts cant talk about Ericks case specifically, but their guess is that the IV may have sparked an allergic reaction. As far as they know, there hasnt been a single death in Ontario tied to IV infusions doled out by a naturopath.

READ MORE: Did dated recommendations contribute to the spike in food allergies in kids?

Erick had multiple food allergies to soy protein, lactose and gluten as well as hypothyroidism and pre-diabetes, according to NBC News.

Erick had never had an infusion of turmeric before her second visit to the clinic. The first was a screening session.

Canadians worried about the tragedy shouldmake sure they do their homework before visiting a naturopath, the experts say.

Make sure your ND has licensed credentials from the province and is certified by a provincial college. Regulators make sure naturopaths are inspected, go through rigorous training, and adhere to provincial policies and guidelines, Marsden said.

Also, decipher if IV therapy is your best bet and if the solution is addressing your needs.

IV therapy is getting a lot of buzz but the question is, Do I need IV therapy? Is there a good rationale for this? Marsden said.

Patients also need to determine if naturopathic medicine will get them the results theyre looking for.

It is another thing entirely for these healers to hook a healthy person up to an IV and pump turmeric into their veins, Julianna LeMeiux, a senior fellow in molecular biology at Tufts Universitys School of Medicine, wrote in the American Council On Science and Health.

Spices do not exactly go through the same checks and balances as drugs that are intended to enter the bloodstream, she said.

Britt Marie Hermes, an ex-naturopath who covers medicine and medical pseudoscience at Forbes, said that three clinics offer turmeric IV infusions in the San Diego area. They go for about $200 to$400.

Naturopathic doctors frequently offer treatments that have not been fully vetted for safety or effectiveness, and many therapies used in naturopathic practice have been disproved by rigorous trials, she wrote.

This is likely the result of naturopathic education blurring the line between treatments backed by good evidence, and practices using natural substances that turn profits, she said.

Woman dies after taking turmeric IV to treat eczema. What happened? - Globalnews.ca

A California woman died in March after being given an IV of turmeric, the San Diego County Medical Examiner confirmed Thursday.

NBC 7 reported that Jade Erick, 30, went to see a naturopathic practitioner for treatment of her eczema on March 10. She was taken to Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas, where she reacted badly to the IV.

Dr. Kim Kelly was reportedly administering a 250 mL infusion of turmeric, an Indian spice that has several uses in natural healing. Erick became unresponsive after just 5 mL of the infusion. Dr. Kelly immediately called emergency services and gave Erick CPR while he waited for them to arrive.

The report said that woman was sent to the ICU when she arrived at the hospital. The autopsy report read that Erick was diagnosed with severe anoxic brain injury secondary to cardiopulmonary arrest, most likely due to turmeric infusion.

Erick died 6 days after she was admitted to the hospital.

The medical examiners report indicated that Erick had several food allergies to soy protein, lactose and gluten, as well as hypothyroidism and pre-diabetes.

Her mother reportedly told authorities that her daughter never had an infusion of turmeric before, but she had taken the spice orally through capsules and shakes.

The death was ruled as an accident.

NBC 7 spoke with the Medical Board of California, which said that Dr. Kim Kelly was licensed through the naturopathic committee, which is run by the Department of Consumer Affairs. His license remains active and no administrative charges have been filed against him.

Steve Schechter, who started the vocational college Natural Healing Institute in 1996 and has practiced in the field since 1966, told NBC 7 that Dr. Kim is a caring person who wouldnt recklessly put anyone in danger.

Im not trying to imply defending him or being critical, Schechter said. Every doctor, every therapist I know at times, has made mistakes, every person I know has used things correctly and you get that incredibly small percent of people who are hyper reactive.

Schechter reportedly said that he only teaches traditional, natural therapy that involves only oral consumption.

He said that he hoped this tragedy wouldnt deter people from the many benefits of turmeric, and that these benefits have been proven through research.

Theres over 6,200 scientific studies, all peer reviewed, on Turmeric, primarily focusing on the varied health benefitsI dont want this story to obscure the thousands of years of beneficial use.

The San Diego County Sheriffs Department is reportedly not pursuing a criminal inquiry into Ericks death.

The U.S Food and Drug Administration has just approved Dupixent, a new treatment option for people with moderate-to-severe eczema.

Dupixent works as an injection under the skin, andwas developed for patients whose condition can not becontrolled by topical treatments. However, it also gives patients who would typically use a topical treatmenta break from applying creamsto the skin multiple times per day.

Eczema is a condition when patches of skin become inflamed, itchy, red, cracked and rough. Most people outgrow the condition as children, but some continue to endure symptoms into adulthood. The causes of eczema are unknown, however it is believed to develop due to both genetic factors such as having parents with atopic diseases and environmental factors such as irritants, allergens, microbes, extreme temperatures, food, stress and hormones.

Dupixent was approved by the FDA after going through 3 clinical trials that included roughly 2,100 adults with moderate-to-severe eczema, whose symptoms could not be controlled by topical treatments. After 16 weeks, those who received Dupixent had clearer skin and less itching than those who received the placebo.

The most common side effects of the drug included injection site reactions, cold sores in the mouth and lips, and eye/eyelid inflammation. The FDA recommended those experiencing eye symptoms to see a doctor.

Dr. Julie Beitz, director of the Office of Drug Evaluation III in the FDAs Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said in a news release that eczemacan cause significant skin irritation and discomfort for patients, so it is important to have a variety of treatment options available to patients, including those patients whose disease is not controlled by topical therapies.

Sienna Duffield was incorrectly diagnosed with eczema when she was eight months old.

Then, according to GoFundMe, on Duffield's second birthdayshe washospitalized for a rash that broke out all over her face.

Her mother Savina French-Bell wrote thatthe rash wasvery painful for her daughter:

It's infected, weepy, blistered, clustered, scabby, and very, very painful for her. She suffers with temperatures on and off, and struggles to sleep most nights. I'm normally greeted by a toddler covered in blood and puss most mornings!

For eight months, doctors struggled with her treatment. They tried steroids, antihistamines, but nothing worked. French-Bell wrote:

Nothing is working. We see improvements for the first few days, and then BANG it comes back. She has antihistamine, hundreds of creams, steroids, antibiotics body bandages and mittens, but nothing is helping my little girl. She's also had blood tests to rule out any allergies.

Then, she told Inside Edition, French-Bell rememberedwhen her daughter first started breaking out into rashes:

I realized that she kissed a family member last year which brought on the infection. Everyone in the family was distraught.

Doctors were able to correctly treat the toddler once they knew the family member had herpes.Now her skin is much clearer.

Every now and again she does break out intorashes, but doctorscan provideher with medicine to help alleviate thesymptoms. French-Bell told Inside Edition:

"For the past few months Sienna's face has looked amazing and the infection has not returned.There is always a chance of it coming back, but fingers crossed it won't happen and her skin will stay as good as it is now. It's great to be able to go outside and not get any horrible comments from anyone.

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), herpes is a common and untreatable sexually transmitted disease. An estimated one in every six people between the ages of 14 and 49live with the herpes virus.

Women who are pregnant are encouraged to tell their doctors if they suspect they have herpes to avoid passing the virus to their unborn child.

BabyCenter reports that theherpes virus can be dangerous for babies and especially newborns. The virus canspread to the brain and other organs and cause major damage.

Just a few years ago, a baby had to be admitted to the hospital for five days after being infected with cold sores.

French-Bell knows the virus will stay with her child forever, but she's happy her daughter is out of the hospital and back outside again.

It can be hard to tell for sure if you have eczema. Youll want to see a dermatologist or other doctor to find out.

At your appointment, your doctor will check your skin and talk with you about your symptoms, your health history in general, and any rashes or allergies that run in your family.

Based on that information, she'll decide if its eczema or something else.

Goodskincare is key. If your eczema is mild, that might be all you need, along with some changes in your daily habits.

If you have severe eczema, you may need to takemedicine for it, too.

The basics:

Soap and moisturizer. Use a mild soap or soap substitute that won't dry your skin. Youll also want a good moisturizer in cream, lotion, or ointment form. Smooth it on right after a shower or bath, as well as one other time each day.

If your eczema is severe, you may find that it helps to take baths with a small amount of bleach added to the water. That kills bacteria that live on the skin of people with eczema.

Short, warm showers. Dont take very hot or very long showers or baths. They can dry out your skin.

Stress management. Get regularexercise,and set aside time to relax. Need a few ideas? You could get together with friends, laugh, listen to music, meditate or pray, or enjoy a hobby.

Get a humidifier. Dry air can be stressful for your skin.

If your doctor decides you need meds to treat your eczema, those may include:

Hydrocortisone. Over-the-counter cream or ointment versions of it may help mild eczema. If yours is severe, you may need a prescription dose.

Antihistamines. Ones you take by mouth are available over-the-counter and may help relieve symptoms. Some of these make you drowsy, but others dont.

Corticosteroids. Your doctor may prescribe these if other treatments dont work. Always follow your doctor's directions when taking steroids by mouth.

Ultraviolet light therapy.This may help if your skin condition is severe.

Drugs that work on your immune system.Your doctor may consider these medicines -- such asazathioprine, cyclosporine, ormethotrexate -- if other treatments dont help. There are also prescription creams that treat eczema by controlling inflammation and reducing the immune system reactions. Examples include pimecrolimus (Elidel)andtacrolimus (Protopic), which you should only use for a short time if other treatments don't work -- and you should never use them on kids younger than 2, according to the FDA.

Prescription-strength moisturizers.These support the skins barrier.

TRENTON, N.J. U.S. regulators have approved the first powerful, injected medicine to treat serious cases of the skin condition eczema.

The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday approved Dupixent for moderate or severe eczema, which causes red, fiercely itchy rashes on the face, arms and legs.

In three studies of the drug including a total of 2,119 participants, one-third to two-thirds achieved clear or nearly clear skin. About 4 in 10 had itching decrease sharply, bringing better sleep and reducing anxiety and depression.

Dupixent will have an initial list price of $37,000 a year, according to Paris, France-based Sanofi SA and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals of Tarrytown, New York, which developed the drug.

Eczema treatments generally have been limited to topical medications, steroid creams, moisturizers and ultraviolet light, plus antihistamines to relieve itching. Those work fairly well for mild eczema, but not the severe form, also called atopic dermatitis. Its also the most common form.

Wire reports

Eczema often begins in young children, and most grow out of it, said Dr. Lisa Beck, a dermatology professor at the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, New York.

But for other patients, the condition persists throughout adulthood, tormenting patients with relentless itching that triggers scratching, and with that, skin swelling, cracking, weeping of clear fluid and, eventually, thickening of the skin, according to the FDA.

Many of these patients gave up on health care because we offered them nothing new for years and years, said Beck, a member of the National Eczema Associations scientific advisory board who participated in patient tests of Dupixent, also called dupilumab.

The drug is an antibody thats injected just under the skin. It works by binding to a specific protein to inhibit the immune systems inflammatory response.

Jonathan is a 10-month-old child who has been developing an itchy rash on the face, elbows and knees. His skin in these areas looks red, dry and scaly. He has also been scratching these areas frequently. After a yellow crust was noted and his mom took him to the pediatrician she was told he has atopic dermatitis, a form of eczema. She asks the doctor what might have caused this.

Atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, is a common skin condition which affects 1 in 10 children. While it is well known that family history of atopy (eczema, asthma, or seasonal allergies) are risk factors for eczema, the exact cause of eczema remains a mystery.
