what is eczema?⚕️

 
Eczema is the term used when the skin becomes inflamed and irritated. It can be due to many causes, but the symptoms are very similar. Eczematous skin is always itchy and dry. The skin also develops a rash, which may progress to becoming crusted and thickened. Eczema may also cause the skin to ooze a fluid, sometimes referred to as weeping eczema. There are several different conditions that give rise to eczema. The commonest condition is atopic dermatitis, which is a form of allergy in the skin.

Eczema is not a disease by itself. So there is no specific treatment for eczema. The underlying condition causing the eczema needs to be treated. For example if atopic dermatitis is causing the eczema, the treatment will be different from that of nummular eczema or seborrheic dermatitis. In addition to the treatment for the underlying disease process, moisturising lotions and antiallergics may be given to soothe the skin.

Whag to do if my boy friend id HIV positive

P
 
I sympathise with your predicament, especially if you already have had sexual intercourse. Ideally, he should have told you before you decided to have sex.

If you have already had sexual intercourse, you should go for a blood test to find out whether you are infected by the virus or not. It is possible that you *have not* been infected, especially if you have been using condoms. It is also likely that your boyfriend is taking Anti Retroviral drugs (ART). If he is, the amount of virus in his body is likely to be low. Even if he is not, the transmission rate for HIV is 0.03% to 0.3% for vaginal intercourse. So it is possible that despite everything, you have not been infected.

You should consult your doctor or a HIV counsellor. They will then advise you about the best way to tackle your problem. You will need to undergo a series of tests for HIV at regular intervals for upto a year before you can consider yourself HIV negative. If you are mentally upset about this, they can counsel you to maintain your emotional peace. You must remember that HIV is not a killer infection. There are medicines available now which can control the virus and allow you to lead a full and healthy life.

The best course of action for you will be to consult your doctor or a HIV counsellor regarding your tests. You should of course adopt safe sexual practices in the future.

*Women's World Cup🏆: France🇫🇷 Starts By Thrashing Korea

Wendie Renard scored two headers as France opened the Women's World Cup with a one-sided 4-0 defeat of South Korea.

Eugenie Le Sommer's 11th goal in her last 11 appearances for France in all competitions gave the tournament hosts an early lead in Paris.

Before half-time a pair of towering Renard headers made it 3-0 to Corinne Diacre's side, who are among the favourites to win the tournament, allowing them to ease off after the interval.

But with six minutes to go France wrapped things up in superb style, Amandine Henry scoring from outside the penalty area to send a strong message to their World Cup rivals.

*Man Utd♦ Offer New Contract to Juan Mata📝*

Manchester United have offered a new deal to Juan Mata as Ander Herrera and Antonio Valencia head the list of players leaving the club.

Mata, who joined from Chelsea in January 2014, has been linked with a free transfer abroad.

But the former Valencia and Chelsea midfielder has been handed the chance to sign fresh terms by United, meaning he could yet extend his time at Old Trafford.

James Wilson and Regan Poole, who have both previously played first-team football, are among those to be departing United after spending the 2018-19 campaign out on loan.

And United have officially said goodbye to Herrera and club captain Valencia following the expiration of their contracts.

Also leaving are DJ Buffonge, Tyrell Warren, Matty Willock, Callum Whelan, James Thompson, Thomas Sang, Zak Dearnley, Matthew Olosunde, Callum Gribbin, Millen Baars and Joshua Bohui.

*Ramos Sets New Record in 🇪🇸Spain's Win Over Faroe Islands

Sergio Ramos has set a new international record in Spain's 4-1 victory over the Faroe Islands in Friday's European Championship qualifying clash.

The Real Madrid defender went into the game tied with former Spain and Blancos team-mate Iker Casillas in international wins, with 121 since making his debut for the Roja back in 2005.

And with Friday's victory he now sits out on his own with 122 victories in 164 appearances, setting a new benchmark in the history of international football.

Ramos himself set Spain on the way to victory, opening the scoring with a goal after just five minutes.

Jesus Navas widened the visitors' advantage to two goals shortly after, although the Faroes did hit back with their own strike on the half hour.

Any hopes of a famous upset, however, were short-lived. Teitur Gestsson netted past his own keeper to restore Spain's two-goal lead before Jose Gaya swooped for his side's fourth of the evening.

Friday's win is Spain's fourth consecutive international victory, having previously dispatched Bosnia & Herzegovina, Norway and Malta in successive outings.

*Eden Hazard⚡ Completes €100m Move to Real Madrid👑*

Chelsea star Eden Hazard has completed a move Real Madrid in a deal worth €100 million (£88m/$112m), and signed a contract through June 30, 2024, the La Liga club have announced.

It was reported the deal is worth a minimum €100m, but can rise to €140m (£124m/$146m) with incentives.

The club announced Hazard will be presented as a Madrid player on June 13.

The Blancos sent representatives to London earlier this week to meet with Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia, and Hazard has now officially made the move to Madrid after seven seasons at Chelsea.

With his contract at Stamford Bridge expiring at the end of the 2019-20 season and no progress made on an extension, Chelsea have accepted the need to cash in on their Belgian superstar this summer rather than let him walk for free.
