I have 3 questions to ask and I hope someone out there can give me an answer or two Has anyone out there with asthma been told that eszema occours alot of times to people who have allergys with asthma? Another one of my questions is is there any one out there that takes ZYFLO CR? I was just given zyflo cr to replace accolate and this zyflo seems to work better but it some how affects the liver Now that worries me but at the same time it seems to work better for me The reason I ask about zyflo is due to the affects on the liver My older sister died 10 years ago of autoimmune hep. My oldest brother has been told he has it too and has been fighting with that for about 3 years now I watched my sister go from a healthy happy person who I loved dearly die before she could get a transplant I hope someone out there can help me out I just need to hear from someone else who takes zyflo and if it has affected their liver in any way One last question I would like to know if anyone gets scared to death when an attack comes on and it makes it worse how you deal with it I usually breath in my nose and out my mouth slowly But some times it is hard to do Thank you for listening to a worried person

Your best solution is two-pronged approach – reduce the mites as best you can, and use a shielding lotion that has been proven as an effective eczema treatment.
According to the new study, mice exposed to the mite enzyme experienced transepidermal water loss, indicating that the protective layer of the skin had been disrupted. According to Toshiro Takai, one of the authors of the study, this finding explains why dust mites cause dry skin and eczema. The study also noted an increased level of riboflavin, which indicates that the skin is more accessible to allergens and irritants in general. So, skin that has been damaged by exposure to dust mites is also more susceptible to other irritants and allergens such as mold, pet dander and chemicals.
