Choose Eczema Cream Wisely

Knowing some things about eczema creams, if you suffer from this condition, can maybe save you some pain. Understanding which ezcema creams are the best for your particular situation, can really make a difference in getting the proper help. Many of these eczema creams are infused with hypo-allergenic ingredients. This is because allergies have proven to be one of the major causes of outbreaks of eczema. These creams have ingredients designed to keep the skin moisturized, help with skin repair, as well as assist in things like micro circulation.

Most of these moisturizing dry skin creams contain plant extracts like wheat germ oil or jojoba oil that has proven to repair the skin and that have anti-inflammatory properties as well, which are derived from natural sources like Aloe Vera, Chamomile, and Arnica. They also are fortified with essential vitamins that promote good skin health. Eczema creams can be very effective when used properly.

Some of the main functions these creams perform with their special ingredients is stimulating cells, balancing hydration, and protecting elastin and collagen. The free radicals are neutralized by adding vitamins like E and C, which also are very powerful as antioxidants. Treating eczema is a total process and not a cure. But it can be treated successfully once you get the right program down.

Some ezcema treatment creams are designed more toward preventive maintenance, and then others are specifically for when you have an actual breakout. There are a lot of ezcema creams on the market that you can get at a drugstore, but if you have a really serious case, then you should consult with a doctor. Some of these conditions need prescription creams and medicines in order to be treated properly.

Another thing to watch out for in buying a cream, is any kind of a scent. Unscented should always be your choice, as the scents in some creams can ignite an outbreak. If you are already experiencing an outbreak, then the preventative creams are not for you. There are special ezcema creams that are specifically targeted toward bringing down the amount of itching and burning. They also have properties that help keep the spreading down as well.

To understand how to best treat your particular eczema condition, its a good idea to study all the things that can possible be causing it. Finding out what allergies cause the most outbreaks, and checking your diet, can help you to nail down an approach that will enable you to avoid outbreaks as much as possible. And you should always keep your skin moisturized.

Anytime you have an outbreak that is on your face, precaution is warranted. Only specific creams can be used in this area. Mostly these creams are topical steroids. If they should contain any anesthetics, they would be better left alone, due to the fact they can lead to contact dermatitis. If you use these types of creams, be sure to use ones that are low in potency, because if they end up in your eyes they can lead to cataracts or glaucoma.

Learning facts about eczema creams can save on wasted time and money, and on time spent suffering. Do not make the mistake of lightly grabbing something off the shelf because it says it is used for treating eczema. Believe this, all creams are not alike, and not for every case of eczema. It only takes a little time to look things up and find out how to nail down just what causes your particular outbreaks, and how to treat them accordingly.

Many different eczema creams are available. But shopping online you can find great deals. Head online and get the best deal now.

How to Spot Poison Ivy

Many people get into trouble with poison ivy because they do not know what it looks like or how to treat it. It is not actually ivy, which is where some get confused. It is a type of vine that is very woody and grows low to the ground. Any contact with it, no matter how brief, will probably cause a rash. Some people are naturally immune to the effects of the compound it produces that irritates skin, but most are not.

The key is knowing where it grows and then being careful in those areas. It is a plant specific to Canada, The United States, and Mexico. Nine times out of ten it grows in the woods, more toward the edges where there is more sunlight. Poison Ivy has been known to be in meadows or even on rocky surfaces, though not so much on mountainous areas. Poison Ivy prefers lower lands. The tricky thing about poison ivy is that it can grow just about anywhere–it grows well both in the shade and the sunshine.

Recognition of the plant is key for any person who loves the outdoors. The ivy itself looks harmless. There is nothing about it that would naturally indicate danger. It is always in bundles of three leaflets. They have an almond shape (pointy at one end, rounded at the other) with no teeth to serrate the edges. Many people say it is red, but this is only when it first buds in spring and when it starts to die in autumn. During most of spring and summer it goes from light to dark green.

The leaflet bundles will alternate on the vine, though the vine may not be very noticeable if it is growing low to the ground. Leaves on this plant are often shiny due to the liquid that they secrete. This is the stuff that makes you itch. Berries grow on poison ivy, as well. They are gray or white.

The vine, if you can see it, will have red hairs on it, and plenty of them. This is key to notice when you are climbing up trees. If you see this vine, stay away. Also note that the leaves may not have teeth, but they do each have a single notch that will make them vaguely resemble mittens.

There are dozens of tips and rhymes for learning how to identify them. One interesting fact is that butterflies tend to land on them. If you are suspicious of the plant and a butterfly rests on it, stay away.

Once you have figured out what the ivy is (either by looking it up or by unfortunate first-hand experience), the next step is to learn how to treat the itch if you stumble upon it. If the person goes into anaphylactic shock, get them to a hospital immediately. Sometimes a reaction can be so severe that breathing is very difficult and lose muscle control or fall unconscious. Usually the reaction is merely blistered skin that itches very severely.

Do not scratch at all and keep your hands washed. If you got it on your hands, do not touch any unaffected part of your body because you can spread the rash around easily. Anti-itch creams are the best bet to soothe you. Some have found that taking oatmeal baths reduces the itching, just like it does with the chicken pox.

Are you one of those unlucky individuals who has had a run-in with poison ivy? We have got the super inside info on how to treat Poison Ivy Rash.

Athlete’s Foot can be related to Jock Itch

Jock itch is a fungus that is most common in men. They deal with it on a daily basis and it most often goes untreated for long periods of time. In most cases it is because a person has the fungus on their feet known as Athlete’s foot and then when putting on their underwear their feet come in contact with their underwear and then the fungus gets introduced to the groin area. Because the groin is a hot spot on the body, it becomes a feeding ground for the ringworm fungus. Yes, jock itch is simply ringworm of the groin area.

It is common in our customer service department to ask customers about having athlete’s foot before getting jock itch because they are most often related. The products that are recommended for the treatment of jock itch are the All Stop Medicated Skin Cream, Healing Gel, Medicated Body Wash and Disinfectant Spray. The reason for the four step approach is because you would be killing the fungus on your body as well as in your environment.

The Medicated Skin Cream draws the fungus spores to the surface and dries them up, the Healing Gel kills fungus and bacteria on the skin, the Body wash work to wash away the fungus and bacteria on the skin, and the Disinfectant spray kills the fungus in the environment. You can use this spray in the shower, the tub or even on the floor. Fungus is something that is not just going to go away, if there is moisture there, it will thrive. Our products are jock itch treatments are non toxic and will not harm you in any way. This is a every day process that can take any where from forty-eight hours or up to about one week to clear up depending on the severity of the jock itch case. It is not a disease but it is highly contagious. You want to be careful before putting on your underwear by putting socks on your feet first before putting your underwear on. Keeping the area as dry as possible by using powder is also a helpful tip that we have learned. Learn more about our non-toxic Jock Itch Treatment.

Morgellons Disease – We can help!

It seems here at Q-Based Healthcare we are seeing an all time increase in the amount of people suffering with Morgellons disease. Most often these customers feel they have no one to help. They have already been to several doctors who have either misdiagnosed them with scabies or have sent them to counselors for delusional parasitosis. These people feel as if everyone thinks they are crazy. As the customer service manager, I have stressed the importance to my crew about listening and identifying with these customers. Most of them have no one to turn to and all they really want is to start feeling better. I would imagine it is one of the worst feelings in the world for no one to believe what you are saying is real.

Our research and development team, DermatechRx, has been thinking about ways to help assist our skin parasite customers. One item they have been working on completing is a social community where Morgellons sufferers can get help from each other. Most skin parasites victims ask about other people with the same symptoms they can talk to. In our Morgellons and Collembola community we have made sure you have the ability to chat with other sufferers, post blogs about recent developments or treatment techniques, post pictures or videos of you and your loved ones and even comment to each other about recent posts and blogs.

Through this community is one way that Q-Based is trying to give back to our skin parasite customers. Some of the customers that we have informed about this project have already started communicating with each other and posting blogs to release information about treatments that are working for them and pictures of some of the lesions they are working to heal. We think it is very important our skin parasite customers have other people they can talk to about what is happening to them and the latest information about what products are helping with Morgellons treatment. My customer service team is working hard to inform everyone about a place they can go to get help in a world that is so easily shunning them from existence. You can visit our Morgellons Support Community at www.morgellonssupport.com.

Mites from a bird’s nest

These are some testimonials from some of our customers that have used our scabies products and even recommended them to others:

I don’t have anything big any longer like I did four years ago in Georgia.  However, our three cats seem to have something crawling under their skin as they run about a few times a day, biting at their hind quarters and feet.  They don’t have fleas–and are always indoors.  We have not figured out what to do to help them as they are cats and lick themselves, unlike dogs.

So every now and then I get an itch on my ankle or leg and put the Q-Based Sulfinex Cream on and it goes away.  My skin is highly sensitive and every time I have an itch, I figure it is something from the cats.  As far as the Mitactin goes, I’ve had a bump form in my left nostril a couple weeks ago.  Thinking it was one of those critters,  I put Mitactin on a Q-tip and put it on the lump in my nose, which hurt.  After doing this for two days, the lump disappeared.  There was a place on the outside of that nostril where it looked like a mite got into.  Now it is again on the other nostril and I am all out of Mitactin.  That is why I ordered Mitactin.  It all really works.

I am suspecting that I originally had bird mites under my skin.  Someone had given me a birds nest (I am an elementary school teacher and collected nests).  I had taken it and put it in a large plastic box where I kept other nests.  Only thing, each of those other nests were in individual plastic bags.  I was in a hurry moving and did not put the last nest in a bag.  When I did remember it, I found at the bottom of that box black, small period size dots.  I destroyed ALL the nests!

Then we got the kittens two years after our move.  I still had a few bothering me once in a while.  I think that perhaps the cats got these things from me, although I am doing great and have been so for the last 2+ years.  I am thinking it was bird mites because my daughter called me last summer from family camp in Michigan, asking me what company I purchased my creams from to help get rid of my mites when I had them.  I gave them your website.  She told me that a 12 year old boy found a bird’s nest which had an egg in it.  He handled the egg and nest for a while.   A few hours afterward, he had a body itch he’d never experienced before and she thought it sounded much like my former experience.  I am inclined to agree.

Thank you for Q-Based Healthcare!  Truly, it saved my life.  When I was first encountered with this problem, I tried everything and no doctor could help me.  I believed they thought that I was crazy.  I tried things like Kleen Free and another product and spent a lot of money.  When I found your product, I was so thrilled to find out it worked!  I took down a mosquito netting, which was over our bed four years ago and should have kept it.  It was literally covered with black, small period like dots which I am sure came off of my body during the night.  By the time I found Q-Based products, the critters had multiplied on my body a hundred fold and thus it took much longer to rid them from me.  I am forever grateful for Q-Based products and will forever keep Mitactin and Sulfinex in my house for anything that comes along.  Thanks, Q-Based!!!  SS

Scabies mites and night itching

I talk to people with scabies everyday and the most commonly asked question is “Why Me?” People assume that just because they bathe regularly they cannot catch scabies. This is a common misconception. Scabies is highly contagious and therefore easily contracted by personal contact. Scabies symptoms usually starts out as a pimple like rash and is usually extremely itchy. Most of our customers complain about not being able to sleep at night because the itching is uncontrollable. Usually the scabies mites are more active at night and sometimes they are biting you from being re-infested in your mattress. Another reason that people have trouble diagnosing scabies is because scabies mites are microscopic and cannot be viewed with the naked eye. Some customers report they can actually see the mites, however it is not actually the mite they are seeing but the remaining feces and bodily secretions of the mites once they burrow into the skin. Most of the scabies mite burrows will make zigzagging shapes in the skin, which can be another symptom of scabies. Our most popular products used for scabies treatment is our non-toxic lotion for scabies. The surfactants in our scabies products cause the scabies mites to dehydrate and die. We even have many customers who order Mitactin by the gallon or half gallon. The Mitactin is good to use anywhere on the body. Some most common spots to have scabies symptoms on the body are where body parts meet causing more heat to be generated. The scabies mites are attracted to body heat. Symptoms usually occur on the arm pits, genital areas, wrists, ankles and behind the knees.

I received a call last week from a woman who was stating that she is having rashes on the skin and is feeling like things are biting her. She needed suggestions of scabies products that would work fast and safely on her. She has a lowered immune system and was scared to use the doctor’s toxic treatment of Permethrin Cream because she read the side effects online. I assured Ms. Taylor our scabies medication is complete safe and non-toxic. She decided to give our products a try because she was not able to sleep at night because of the biting and itching. She also needed something for her home so she purchased a mattress bag and our PuracleenRx Disinfectant Spray.

Ms. Taylor from Atlanta Georgia called me back today and let me know she is feeling much better and the biting has finally stopped and she is able to sleep at night again. She was so happy! I was so excited that I was able to help her with getting rid of scabies.

Pubic lice questions

Although you can get pubic lice from your partner, pubic lice is not a sexually transmitted disease. Pubic lice bugs are small parasites that are in the same species with head lice and body lice. You can get pubic lice from being around an infected person or their belongings for a long period of time. It is transferred by physical contact. You can also get them from staying in a hotel, motel or even at your friend’s house. Anyone can get pubic lice if you come in contact with the pesky lice bugs or eggs. They do not care about your gender, sex, nationality or social classification.

“What do pubic lice look like?” is a question that I am often asked. Pubic lice are very small but you can see them with the naked eye. They are shaped to look similar to a crab, that is how they got their nickname,”crabs”. You can check our pictures of pubic lice.

Another question that I am often asked is “What are the signs and symptoms of crabs?” Well just like having head lice, you can feel the crawling, biting and itching sensations. With pubic lice you will experience these symptoms around the genitals and anus. Because the itching with lice is so intense, people have been known to scratch so much they cause lesions and sores on the skin. Most people describe the experience with crabs as unbearable.

Some pubic lice prevention tips that you can use are as follows:

*Bring your own blanket and vinyl or plastic mattress cover with you when sleeping away from home.

*Don’t share anything, especially clothing with other people.

*Disinfect any public toilets or chairs before sitting on them.

Having public lice is not a fun experience, here at Q-Based Healthcare we know how to help. Our non-toxic pubic lice removal treatment will make sure you are rid of your pubic lice infestation without harming yourself by toxic chemicals. We strive to make sure that all of our packaging is completely discreet because we know your privacy is important to you. Our public lice treatment is also formulated to release the glue that holds lice eggs to the pubic hair shafts, making them rinse off with the product. This makes it a very simple treatment with less fuss. I talk to people daily who are dealing with the embarrassment of having pubic lice and I hope this never happens to you. If it does, we are here to help!

A Pubic Lice Nightmare

Pubic lice is transmittable by human contact. I personally have a friend who has dealt with this problem before. A few years back I had a friend who once caught pubic lice from his girlfriends. It started off with just a few bites here and there. The next night it got worse and  he was constantly scratching his bottom. He scratched so much that lesions started to form. He did not know what he was dealing with and neither did I. He started to explain to me how he thought he might have caught this from his girlfriend. He told me he couldn’t sleep at night because the biting would get so intense. I wasn’t sure myself, so I suggest for him to examine himself carefully.

He was literally spending most of his days trying to pick at those little creatures and scratching his skin open making sores.  Sure enough, he found some pubic lice which are also called crabs because of their body shape. He put some of them in a jar and went to get himself a magnifying glass and then called. The next day, he stopped by my house and showed me some samples of the actually pubic lice, (Gross!).  After carefully looking at those pubic lice, I saw how they actually look like crabs. You can click on the following link to see Pictures of Pubic Lice

Well, the first thing  my friend and I did together was start googling to see what kind of hideous parasites he is dealing with. Sure enough, when we typed  “insects in pubic areas” the word pubic lice started to pop up. We clicked on one of the links and found some sample pictures of pubic lice that looked exactly like what he had in the jar that he was holding. I advised him, he better hurry up and go to the Doctor. As soon as he walked out, I started grabbing all kind of disinfectant sprays and started spraying down everything he touched. I started washing all of my linens that he came in contact with. I love my friend, but I don’t think, I wanted to catch crabs from him. I would rather be safe than sorry.  Luckily, my friend, responded well to the treatment the doctor prescribed for him and he got rid of his pubic lice.  He came to find out later how toxic those medications were to his body. He just couldn’t believed that  the Doctor would prescribe those pesticide to people. Those creams mentioned are forms of PESTICIDES used on insects. They are extremely deadly to lice and are very harmful to human at the same time. Most of your common lice products contain Pyrethum and Lindane. These two are extremely toxic. Side effects include neurological problems, nasal stuffiness, headaches, loss of coordination, tremors, convulsion, asthmatic breathing, swelling, burning, and itching.

At that time, we didn’t know about alternative non-toxic pubic lice treatments. We later found out that there are many alternative non-toxic lice treatments that are completely safe to use on your body without side effects. Q-Based provides an All Stop pubic lice treatment that is completely non-toxic. My friend just wished that I would have worked for Q-Based during that time so he could try our products. I didn’t get to help my friend with All stop, but at least I have helped so many others with pubic lice and eliminating them with a safe and non-toxic pubic lice treatment that can be used on anyone including children and infants.

Pam’s Struggle with Scabies

Have you ever asked the question, where did scabies originate from?  Since I have been employed with Q-Based Healthcare for almost 3 years now, I have never been asked this question until I spoke to Pam.  She is one of my customers that was having difficultly getting rid of scabies. I guess when you are infested by these little creatures, it makes you curious and want to understand them more. Possibly your doctor did not inform you enough about what scabies really are. Some people assume it is a horrible disease. Actually, it’s not, they are microscopic scabies skin mites.

Scabies is known to be very contagious, if you come in contact with an infected person or item for a short period time it can be contracted. You should be very cautious when you are traveling to unfamiliar areas if you do not want to come in contact with scabies mites. Scabies have been around for a very long time. They were first recorded 2,500 years ago and have been affecting humans ever since. Scabies mites can affect anyone, it does not matter what your personal hygiene is, your age or your race. They live on humans and transfer from one person to another.

Some Common Places where you can contract scabies are Nursing Homes, Hotels, Motels, and Crowded Public Places including your friend’s homes and theaters as well.

Pam from Austin, Texas called me for help the minute she found out she has scabies. She went on a cruise during the summer and brought back home a special guest with her — scabies mites. The scabies symptoms did not start to form on her skin until 3 to 4 weeks after the cruise. Symptoms of scabies started off under her bra line, and within weeks, the tracks seemed to be more and more. Worst yet, at night they seemed to be more active. She was constantly scratching at night and sometimes it would wake her up. Pam had to take so much Benadryl to relieve the itching and help to put her back to sleep.  She couldn’t stand the torturing from these creatures so she decided to visit her Physician, who automatically diagnosed her with scabies. He prescribed her Elimites to use, but before she started the scabies treatment, she got curious and started to do more research on scabies and found our website. By the time she was through reading our website, she was glad she had decided not to use the products that the doctor had prescribed to her. She discovered Elimite is toxic just like Permethrin Cream. These are commonly prescribed lotions for scabies even despite their toxic properties.

Pam lives alone so she only had to worry about herself and her environment. Pam decide to call in and talk to me, she had many questions regarding scabies infestations. She purchased our Mitactin Scabies Combo, 32 ounce disinfectant, 32 oz. Eco Dust, and a disposable mattress cover. She wanted to make sure these little creatures will be completely gone from her life. She took every precaution and suggestion given to her, and sure enough after completing the scabies treatment and post nodular treatment, she was finally free. Even now, Pam still uses our disinfectant cleaner and in fact she still has our disposable mattress cover on her bed. She also ordered another set to bring it with her whenever she travels. Pam is not the only person that takes extra precaution, most of our staff here at Q-Based Healthcare do as well.

Scabies Treatment

Q-Based Healthcare provides an alternative treatment for scabies that is NON-TOXIC-yet very effective to eliminate scabies.  We have been around for over 6 years now-and we are still helping people eliminate Scabies whether on them or around them. We provide a solution that treats and prevents at the same time. Other kinds of scabies lotion just can’t make these claims. And many of these lotions for scabies are toxic. Why am I so confident about the products? My main job is to assist customers, whether they have questions about our scabies products or consult on the symptoms of scabies.

Let me just tell you about some of the customers with Scabies who were looking for help:

It was around the month of October 2008-I had spoken to a gentleman named, Paul.  He works with the elders in a nursing home-one day he comes in contact with a lady who just got transfer there a few days ago that had these rashes on her body around the creases and he wasn’t sure what it was. The Doctor finally, diagnosed the old lady with scabies, and prescribed a scabies lotion for her as well as all the workers there. Paul was freaking out, but he decided to  use the tube of cream, called Permethrin Cream – which made him feel lethargic, and really dizzy during treatment-but he decide to tolerated it.  Out of curiosity, he decides to Google the scabies lotion the Doctor gave him – what he found out made him really afraid to even attempt to use the toxic scabies lotion again. He thought everything should be okay now since he had used the strong Pesticides on him. A few weeks later, he started to breakout in rashes-similar to the lady that he had been taking care of.  He didn’t know what he did wrong-but yet afraid to use the Prescription scabies lotion to treat himself again.  Paul decide to Google for Scabies Treatment and found us.  He was so glad to hear my voice as I introduced myself. Paul started telling me about his story and his current scabies symptoms. I told him it’s a possible chance that the Permethrin cream he had used-may not work for him-due to scabies mites can become immune to the pesticides making it ineffective.. He was shocked and ask me to tell him more about scabies-I advised him about scabies, the scabies treatment and what scabies preventative methods he can do so that re-infestation does not occur. Finally, he asked me to suggest the best scabies treatment for him. I suggested to him our All Stop Mites & Scabies Combo, Disposable Mattress Cover, Hospital Grade Disinfectant, Eco-Dust, and Some Medicated Soap. Paul told me that he doesn’t mind spending money on something that will work for him-that are NOT-TOXIC lotion for scabies which in turn will save him some money in the long run and save his life from those TOXIC pesticide scabies lotion.  Paul was so eager to use our products, he Overnighted the products. After 5 days of using our products, he start to see some results-the scabies biting and itching at night had almost gone away, but he was also concerned about the new rashes developing throughout his body.  As I explained to him that he is going through post-nodular scabies at the same time and advised him to continue using the  scabies products for a few more days and also gave some suggestion to heal post nodular scabies. I have not heard from him since that last call. Just 2 weeks ago-I decide to call him to check up on him. He was so glad to hear my voice-he sounds very happy and full of joy, and told me that he does not have Scabies anymore! He still continues using our Disinfectant to sanitize his environment on a daily basis. He also promised to order more once he runs out of our environment disinfectant. I do enjoy helping people just like Paul who makes my job very interesting. Hope I can help you and your family as well. Good Luck!
