Baby Eczema Specialist Singapore: Where to seek treatment for baby (pediatric) eczema in Singapore?

By

WHAT IS ECZEMA?

Eczema is a common skin problem seen in many children, affecting about 1 in 10 children.

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, often starts in early infancy. It is characterised by dry, red and itchy skin. It is usually a long-term condition that can get worse from time to time and subside as children get older.

If your child suffers from eczema, it is important to know what you can do to relieve the symptoms and the types of eczema treatment that are available for your child.

SYMPTOMS OF ECZEMA

What are the symptoms of eczema?
  • Dry, itchy skin is the main symptom
  • Redness, scales, bumps that can leak fluid or become crusty
Symptoms can flare up from time to time, and may be more noticeable at night.

Symptoms of dermatitis in infants, babies, toddlers and children may vary.

What are the symptoms of eczema in babies?

For babies, eczema shows up as red and dry patches, which usually start on the scalp and face. Eczema can appear on the cheeks, forehead, as well as around the mouth of babies.

When should your child visit the clinic and seek medical treatment for eczema?

If your baby's eczema is mild, you could consult your nearest pharmacist for recommendations on baby eczema cream products.

If your child’s eczema worsens despite intensive moisturising, consult your pediatrician. In some cases, you may be referred to a pediatric specialist in skin diseases (pediatric dermatologist).

When there are suggestions of secondary skin infection like intensive redness and itch, yellow discharge from the skin, fever and swelling around the site, consult your pediatrician.

If your baby has suddenly developed a rash, this may not be baby eczema and could be an allergic reaction. Please visit the nearest 'hospital' as soon as possible. Severe allergic reaction is a medical emergency and needs to be treated at the hospital and not at an out-patient clinic.

Notes on Pediatric Dermatology:
Pediatric dermatologists nowadays see a wide range of skin conditions, but the most common include bacterial, viral, and fungal infections; atopic dermatitis (eczema); and hemangiomas. Pediatric dermatologists work closely with general pediatricians to manage both common and especially complex cases.

18 Best Supplements to Reduce Cytokine Storm: Advanced Guide

By
Image
As of May 2024, there are more than 4,000 early treatment studies  that have been published and shared with the whole world. New ones are being added every day.  This is a review of the literature, covering multiple observational studies, randomized controlled trials and references related to natural supplements and cytokine storm with more than 300 studies and references. We know that while a large percentage of the population only experiences mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19 and won’t require hospitalization, others experience severe symptoms and complications, require hospitalization, or may even die.  It appears one of the differences between those who have a mild illness and severe illness is related to the body's ability to reduce the hyperimmune response that leads to a cytokine storm and the hyper-coagulability (tendency for blood clots) that often accompanies it. The cytokine storm may be one possible way to explain the

Zinc Gluconate vs Zinc Picolinate: What's the Difference?

By

Zinc picolinate and zinc gluconate are forms of dietary supplements that we use to prevent zinc deficiency.  Zinc  is an essential mineral that our body can easily absorb. Therefore, if we do not get enough amount of zinc, we may have to take these dietary supplements as directed by the doctor. When choosing a zinc supplement, it’s important to consider the type of zinc, dosage, and supplement form. Types of Zinc Supplements   There are several types of zinc supplements. Supplements contain several forms of zinc, including zinc gluconate, zinc citrate and zinc picolinate. The percentage of elemental zinc varies by form.  Chelated zinc is a general form of supplementary zinc in which the zinc is chelated — or bound — to a compound to make it easier for the body to absorb. Zinc picolinate or zinc gluconate are formed when zinc is chelated to picolinic acid or gluconic acid, so the main dif

10 Best NMN Supplements (2024 Review)

By
Image
NMN stands for nicotinamide mononucleotide and is a precursor to NAD+, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. NMN is the direct precursor of the essential molecule nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and is considered a key component to increase NAD+ levels in cells. NAD+ is a critical molecule found in every cell of your body, but levels of NAD+ naturally fall with age, making it — and NMN, as a result — crucial. NMN is one of the most popular supplements in the anti aging community. The global Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) market was valued at US$ 98.5 million in 2019 and it is expected to reach US$ 296.5 million ( R ) by the end of 2026, growing at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 7.3% during 2021-2026. The NAD story took off toward the end of 2013 with a  high-profile paper  by Harvard's David Sinclair and colleagues. Sinclair, recall, achieved fame in the mid-2000s for research on yeast and mice that suggested the red wine ingredient resvera

Vitamin D 25 Hydroxy and Vitamin D 1 25 Dihydroxy: What's the Difference?

By
Image
Vitamin D is more than just one vitamin. It’s a family of nutrients that shares similarities in chemical structure. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium and maintain strong bones throughout your entire life. Your body produces vitamin D when the sun’s UV rays contact your skin. Other good sources of the vitamin include fish, eggs, and fortified dairy products. It’s also available as a dietary supplement. In your diet, the most commonly found members are vitamin D2 and D3. While both types help you meet your vitamin D requirements, they differ in a few important ways. Research even suggests that vitamin D2 is less effective than vitamin D3 at raising blood levels of vitamin D. Dietary vitamin D comes in two main forms: Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) The two forms of vitamin D differ depending on their food sources. Vitamin D3 is only found in animal-sourced foods, whereas D2 mainly comes from plant sources and fortified foods. Your skin makes vitamin D3 whe

Hydroxychloroquine + Zinc Study: Dr Harvey Risch from Yale (American Journal of Medicine) 2021

Early on in the COVID-19 pandemic, doctors around the world reported high success rates using an inexpensive treatment protocol of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and zinc, typically in combination with an antibiotic to treat secondary bacterial infections. On July 23, 2020, Dr. Harvey Risch, professor of epidemiology at Yale School of Public Health, published an op-ed in Newsweek in which he expressed his dismay and frustration:3 “I have authored over 300 peer-reviewed publications and currently hold senior positions on the editorial boards of several leading journals. I am usually accustomed to advocating for positions within the mainstream of medicine, so have been flummoxed to find that, in the midst of a crisis, I am fighting for a treatment that the data fully support but which, for reasons having nothing to do with a correct understanding of the science, has been pushed to the sidelines. As a result, tens of thousands of patients with COVID-19 are dying unnecessarily … I am referring,
