In order to cure eczema, you need to learn how to control it. Getting your skin under control is the first step in eliminating your eczema, and I'm going to share with you 4 ways that can help you get your eczema under control right now!
Moisturize your skin. Do not forget to moisturize your skin, but do not use perfumed moisturizers as it can also possibly irritate the skin more. Keeping your skin moisturized will help protect it from possible allergens and irritants. After bathing, make sure to moisturize to lock in the moisture in your skin and do not rub yourself with towel after bathing. Patting your skin dry is ideal to help retain skin moisture.
Perfumes, colognes and scented soaps, lotions and detergents are all filled with various irritants that can cause eczema to flare up. While it's nice to smell good, you'll pay for it with painful skin. Avoid these at all costs.
Keep their skin moist. After bathing your baby, apply lotions and creams to the affected areas. Encourage your older children to apply moisturizer to any eczema prone areas.
You can get fresh vegetable drinks from many health food stores or juice bars like Jamba Juice. Add taking vitamins to your daily regime as well. A multi-vitamin with vitamins A, D, E, Calcium, Magnesium, and Zinc will give your skin the boost it needs to fight skin inflammation, rashes, and infection.
Compresses are another way to soothe irritated skin. Some dermatologists recommend using milk as it is more effective than water. Add ice to a glass of milk and let sit for a few minutes. Pour milk onto a wash rag and hold to affected areas for two to three minutes. Then add more milk and reapply for up to ten minutes. The treatments are very affective for rashes that have blistered and are oozing. Calamine lotion can also be used on oozing rashes. Moisturizing is very helpful for situations where there is no oozing..
Herbal remedies. Aside from the above tips, there are also herbs that may help you eliminate skin problems and find relief from eczema. Coconut oil, aloe vera and dandelion are also said to help combat this skin problem. Chamomile, Geranium and Lavender are also essential oils that will help you have eczema-free skin.
