Atopic Dermatitis / Eczema
Patients with atopic dermatitis (neurodermatitis; neurodermitis)
form the second largest group of people who use Westlab Dead
Sea Salt for dermatological treatment.
Atopic dermatitis is chronic skin disease of unknown cause with the
following main characteristics:
Severe itching. This is an inherent aspect of the disease. Most of
the visible skin changes are due to the persistent scratching.
Frequently starts in early infancy. In the early stages the lesions
are usually acute, "weeping" and crusted. Later, the skin becomes
thickened with an exaggeration of its natural lines
("lichenification"). This occurs especially in the folds of the knees
and elbows, and on the wrists, ankles and neck.
A sensitive, reactive skin. The skin is dry, easily irritated by
mechanical or chemical stimuli and tends to become allergic to
external, ingested or inhaled substances (e.g. pollens, bee stings,
house dust, foods, drugs).
It is more prone to some bacterial, viral and fungal infections.
Psychological and climatic factors sometimes play a dominant role
in exacerbating or soothing the disease.
A family history of Atopy. Atopy is a genetic susceptibility to
certain diseases, which include atopic dermatitis, asthma and hay
fever. The blood of atopic individuals usually has high levels of an
antibody called immunoglobulin E, or IgE.
Results of Dead Sea Salt Treatment
Clearing is usually good to excellent, and for many sufferers
undoubtedly exceeds that achieved by other therapies. The severe
itching frequently subsides relatively early, even if the skin has not
yet shown much response. The process is usually slower and less
dramatic than with psoriasis, and for many patients treatment for
6 rather than 4 weeks may be more effective.

I was diagnosed with eczema and I was prescribed with clobetasol to use. I have used the cream foe about one week now. My friend told me about Dead Sea salt and I would like to know about its effectiveness. Will Dead Sea salt interact with clobetasoll if I start to use it??

I am not sure, this would be a question for the doctor. Dead Sea salt is pure and natural and tends not to react with anything but it is worth checking to be sure, regards

Hi Sonia
Having looked into this the product you are using is a Cortisone
(Steroid). This will not react with Dead Sea Salt as it would explian
on the packet that you were not allowed in the sea or swimming
baths.
I hope this helps
Regards
David

you could try pure dead sea salt, around a cup full or 2 cups full in the bath and try and stay in for at least 20 minutes. this should help

Yes, it can be used in the bath, soak the head in the bath as much as possible, after around 20 minutes of bathing wash the salty water off as it may dry the scalp a little,
