Does #eczema really increase the risk of bone fractures in adults? You may have noticed a new study on this topic making the rounds. The authors found that people with eczema were more likely to experience hip, pelvic, spinal, and wrist (but not arm) fractures. We asked Dr. Christopher Labos to help us understand.

False promises of cures for #eczema? Check out this important topic, posted by #Repost @allergyasthmahq ・・・ Sure, there are benefits to social media and good health info is available from credible sources. But there are increasing concerns that social media gives a voice to those without correct information -- and this could impact your #asthma and #allergy healthcare decisions. Here's how to approach social media and healthcare. Link in bio. #socialmediainfluence #healthcare Can a vitamin B12 cream treat #eczema? We recently spotted a post that claimed that a Vitamin B12 cream can help treat eczema, citing a study from 2009. Could this be? We asked Dr. Chris Labos to help us figure this one out.

This is quite sad considering she was diagnosed with eczema much later on in life. It’s also worrisome how there are a lot of products promoted to “cure” eczema. Unfortunately, eczema is complicated and each case is different. What works for some, might not work for others. One of the hardest issues with eczema beside the condition itself is the time and MONEY spent on treating it. Depending on where you live in, it can be expensive. All the doctor appointments, medical evaluations, prescriptions, DIY methods, specialists, etc. it adds up. So while seeing this headline isn’t too farfetched I was taken aback that she’d only been diagnosed with eczema in 2010. My heart goes out to those that are diagnosed with eczema later on in life. Those of us that have grown up with it, understand (at least to a certain extent) how to manage it for the most part, and how our lives were never really “normal” as you never know when your skin breaks out. Those that are new to the condition can’t quite grasp that there really isn’t a quick fix cure. It may disappear for some time, but your skin will always be susceptible to it.

In 2018, researchers from the @cochraneorg reviewed all the studies using probiotics to treat eczema. They reviewed 39 trials with a total of 2600 patients. They concluded that “…currently available probiotic strains probably make little or no difference in improving patient-rated eczema symptoms.” While probiotics are probably safe and have little side effects, when you look at all the evidence published on the subject, it seems that any effect probiotics have on eczema is either very small or non-existent. The general consensus among doctors is that they are unlikely to be very useful as treatment and patients are probably better off sticking with more proven and effective therapies. #eczematreatment #eczemaquebec #dermatology
