Alanna Lara Ihuman Case Study Management Plan
ECZEMA: Diagnosing eczema relies on clinical observation, as no specific test exists. Family history often reveals a connection to atopic conditions. While there’s no cure, symptom control is vital. Initial treatments include:
- Skin Moisture Management:
- Shorter, lukewarm baths or showers.
- Use hypoallergenic or mild unscented soaps and laundry products.
- Apply topical moisturizer creams daily.
- Ensure adequate skin moisture by keeping the child well-hydrated.
- Consider wearing cotton for better air circulation, avoiding harsh fabrics like wool or polyester.
- Allergen Minimization:
- Minimize exposure to allergens such as pollen, mold, tobacco smoke, and pet dander.
- Infection Prevention:
- Keep nails clipped short to minimize excoriations.
- Consider wearing light white gloves during sleep to minimize skin trauma.
- Flare-Up Management:
- Apply over-the-counter 1% cortisone cream twice daily for 5 days during flare-ups.
- Use antihistamines to alleviate itching and promote better sleep in children.

ANTICIPATORY GUIDANCE:
