Hi. Im not sure how a skin asthma is to be diagnosed, yung baby girl ko kase mabilis magka rashes from eating different foods like bread,etc. She used to have rashes on her bum as in super pulang mga singit, also she gets rashes on her knees na kinakamit nya kaya nagkakasugat sugat. But recently, about 2-3 months ago, she started getting mga mukang tigyawat types on her thighs and near the elbow, ampangit talga kase mukang marks ng bulutong. Nag fe fade sya after about 2 months. Ito ba clasdified as skin asthma na? Ang binibigay [textspeak!] ng pedia is antihistamine and told me to put physiogel AI.

Sis Mai, try mo muna and pedia knows best talaga.   If not, you can go to a pedia derma para mas assured ka since skin talaga ang expertise.

Although, I think your baby has sensitive skin esp girls.  Ang boy ko kasi hindi sensitive ang skin. My twins naman na both girls mas sensitive ang skin ng isa.  Yung isa diaper rash, kaya kailangan madalas ang change ng diaper and wash with mild soap.

Yung isa nagkakapimple na maliliit even sa scalp pa nga pag napapawisan.  So, synalar cream lang linalagay ko and nawawala naman.

Skin asthma kasi in my experience is talagang mahirap ma clear up so easily.  It starts with a tiny dot (usually may water or tiny butlig).  Very itchy and when you scratch it, lumalaki siya.  The more you scratch it, lalong lalaki ang dating tiny spot.  When it starts to dry up, it leaves a dark spot.

[Mai]

^yaiks ganun nga ang sa baby ko, it's a simple dot tapos nagiging malaki like as big as 10cents coin. Tapos naiiwang me dark spot kapag magaling na, i am so upset kase nakakatakot tignan, she has about 12 marks like that.
How do you address the dark spot? okay kaya to put calamansi to lighten it? natakot ako na maging ganung permanente na, maputi pa sya kaya kitang kita yung dark spots.

[iceebaby]

I don't recommend putting anything on the spot unless it is advised by your derma or pedia.

I have asthma of the skin pero adult phase (had it since I'm 10).  In my research if it came out during infancy stage of a child... they just outgrow them.  But, like mine medyo malaki na ako nung nag trigger, so I'm just on a preventive mode.

The calamansi is very acidic so it might be too rough on baby's skin.  Yung isa kong baby meron sa pisngi na started small, natakot ako kasi nga mahirap talaga ang skin asthma.  I put a dab or Synalar Cream (at least eto ay rinecommend sakin ng pedia ko sa mga any itch related ng mga anak ko).  Lumaki pa ng mga as big as Piso, pero, yung synalar 2x/day (after bath and at night) cleared it away.

Did this for 1 week, mine really helped and pag meron ulit (which like any asthma of the skin, dun ng dun sa spot na yun nag stastart and nagkakaron).

A friend of mine also told me once na yung anak naman niya, pinalitan niya ng Vitamin C since nagtataka siya bakit nagkakaron ng mga dark spots na di niya maintindihan.  Nag change siya, and nawala ang mga dark spots.

I changed yung multivitamins ng anak ko from cherifer to Scott's emulsion as recommended by my tita na pedia. 5 days na gumagamit ang 26-month old son ko, nababawasan na ang pagkadry ng skin nya.. pati yung sa siko niya gumaling na rin.

Dati kelangan palage siya nakapants para hindi siya mangati ngayon nakashort na siya lage, umookay na ang skin niya. Sana tuloy tuloy na.

[anneG]

yung baby girl ko 7mos napansin ko dumadami yung dry spots niya sa back, mukhang skin asthma ni refer kami ng pedia niya sa allergiologist hindi pa kami nakakapunta baka this week ipadala ko siya dun, ang weird ganun ba ang skin asthma on certain body parts lang? like sa back ni baby?

[hawiyah]

Hi mga sisses, help naman. Yung 3 years old son merong skin asthma. last saturday merong tumubo sa katawan nya na butlig butlig then sobrang kati daw.. yung butlig nya parang may water sa loob, then pag nakamot lumalaki tapos parang kumakalat. nag w-worry ako kasi meron na din tumubo sa muka.. naawa ako sa kanya kasi sa gabi lagi sya kamot ng kamot. baka meron kayong pwedeng ma refer na derma along novaliches. na pa check na namin sya kaya lang parang walang effect sa kanya yung oinment na ginagamit nya..

Ang brother in-law ko has a skin asthma also sobrang makati daw yung balat nya lalo na kapag malamig,may gamot na binigay yung derma nya dati at hanggang ngayon yun pa rin ginagamit nya pati nung mga anak nya,and its very effective w/them nawawala agad yung pangangati.kaya lang the problem sis is wala na yung derma nya pero nasa akin yung reseta ng gamot nya kasi ako nagpapagawa nun,sa mercury drug quiapo branch lang yun pwede ipagawa.but if you want pwede kita pm for the ingredients of the medicine then pagawa ka na lang ng reseta sa kakilala mong doktor.

[Happy_Angel]

hi sis hawiyah,

hi... newbie here.. di ko maiwasang di makijoin sa topic na to... my son has skin asthma since he was 4, 7 na sya ngayon at super lala ng eczema nya ngayon. naka 3 derma na kami and it usually improves and then flares-up again, diet na din sya sa mga foods like chicken, egg, crustecean, chocolate, nuts & others. last ber months super flared up ang eczema nya he uses lemon myrtelle soap, oilatum paraffin, betacort & oatkin. gumamit na din sya ng physiogel before. trial & error kami sa medications nya or maybe naiimmune na skin nya sa medicines na ginagamit nya.... last month sobrang di na kami makatiis kc di gumagaling ang sugat nya so we decided na magpaconsult sa ibang derma (friend recommended). honey-colored na kc yung lumalabas sa sugat nya at di natutuyo. may mga bagong nirecommend sa min we started a week ago: may mga nireseta sya like soap; oilatum bar, using dextrose (saline water) babasain ang gauze then apply sa sugat or affected area for 10 mins then apply fucidin, clobetasol, he is also taking celestamine to reduce itch. so far ok naman na ngayon. sana tuloy tuloy na... we had ff-up check up after 5 days binigyan naman sya ng DERMAVEEN lotion... hope he'll be ok soon...

[Happy_Angel]

Hi  Has anybody tried phototherapy sessions for skin asthma? 

[yapeegurl]

bettyboop1322, parang ang hirap ng situation sis lalo na pag makati.. kawawa naman ang bata and parang depressing makita everyday pag meron sugat.. I really hope that the last medication will finally treat your son's eczema. Have you also tried going to an Allergist? Is it confirmed eczema or maybe something else is triggering that. Blood test meron kaya mahanap from there?

yun nga sis... sa friday ff-up checkup uli, ask ko derma nya if ano ang opinion nya about getting a blood test or consulting an Allergist (sana meron dito sa Subic). sobra naawa na ko, iyak na lang ako minsan pag nakikita ko na walang nangyayari... pag gising namin nagugulat na lang kami na may mga blood na bedsheet at yung kuko nya... haaayyyy... kahit anong saway ang gawin ko di nya maiwasang di kamutin, pati nga teacher nya pinababantayan ko na wag magscratch. sa school din (he's a first grader) may mga parents na jerky, sasawayin pa nila anak nila na makipaglaro sa anak ko saying na baka mahawa, nakakaubos ng pasensya minsan pero i still managed to stay calm despite of those stupid people around. My son is wearing pants as uniform since last month though grade 1 students wear shorts, nirequest ko lang para di exposed sa mga germs/bacteria at mga germs na tao sa school...  at baka mainfect pa. sa ngayon improving ang condition ng skin nya, continue lang meds at close monitoring & maintenance na lang [textspeak!]... ayaw ko na uli maranasan ng anak ko ang dilemma na to... thank u mga sis for all the info that u shared here sa thread na to, i learned a lot! 

[juicy]

hay naku... mahirap ang meron nito! 

minsan natitrigger din ng pangangati yung change in temperature.. like from manila, bigla ka nag baguio or tagaytay.. ayun, makati na sya!

[yapeegurl]

^^I really you won't go thru that phase again but most importantly, malaman na ang cause ng skin irritation nya. Madami kasing factors kaya very tricky yung ganyan. Sana meron ka makita dyan sa subic na allergist. Else, I think it would be worth a try kahit lumuwas ka ng manila. Good luck sis and keep your hopes up.

Wala talagang treatment sa Skin Asthma, dapat lang may makitang hiyang ng ointment for treatment once it attacks once again. Sa anak ko Skineal from Chinese Herbal Drugstore ko nabili super effective the next day tuyo na agad.

My inlaw advised me to have my daugther checked by derma kasi wet look na ang skin asthma ng anak ko sobrang irritated at lalong lumalaki, then the next day binili ko siya agad nung ointment. When we had our dinner sa house namin sabi ng inlaw ko lumalala na daw ang skin irritation ng panganay ko. Sabi ko sa panganay ko pakita niya sa lola niya, nagulat lola niya kasi in a span of 2days tuyo na talaga. Very effective at mura pa.

[bettyboop1322]

Mga sis! May binigay sa kin sample size ng CETAPHIL RESTORADERM moisturizer specially formulated for management of eczema and atopic dermatitis ang dermatologist ng son ko.. may nakapagtry na ba nito? TIA!!!
