Eczema—Not An Allergy

When people have eczema they will more than likely have the bumps that can either be dry, which will make them want to continually scratch, or the bumps can be wet and can easily pop. Those who have this condition feel ashamed and embarrassed with the rash that occurs. What people may not realize is the fact that eczema is the outer result of something their body is having an allergic reaction with. Discovering the allergy behind the eczema will help to show them what to do and how to deal with it.

From grass and dust to powders, creams, soaps, food, bath bubbles or anything that has some type of fragrance to it can affect those with allergies. Seeing a doctor who treats skin conditions like eczema can help to determine what is causing the condition and prescribe something that can help.

Peanuts Make a Crunchy Snack—Also an Allergy Trigger

Anytime there is a party, activity or an event with church, school or home, there is going to be plenty of snacks that will give a variety of foods that taste good. Peanuts are an all time favorite and go with anything at any time. Just grab a hand full of this snack and nibble away.

Not everyone can handle eating peanuts. There are many people who are allergic to this little piece of a snack because of the oil, among other things that goes in it. If someone eats the nuts and has allergies with nuts, there may be some hives, a rash that itches, nausea and/or not being able to breathe normal.

Peanuts do make a good and healthy snack, but the only sure treatment and alternative for those who have allergies with peanuts is to leave the nuts alone. Keep in mind, many foods make peanut oil part of the ingredients.
