12 Great Home Remedies for Eczema You Can Do Yourself
What is Eczema?
Eczema, which is also known as dermatitis, is a
collection of diseases pertaining to the inflammation of
the skin. Characteristic symptoms of eczema include red
skin, itching, and rashes. Eczema can vary from shortterm
systems consisting of small blisters to more longterm
conditions involving rashes, thickening of the skin,
and can cover the entire body.
It is often unclear what causes eczema – it can involve a combination of irritation,
allergy, chemical sensitivities and other circulatory issues. For example, irritant
dermatitis can occur in people who often get their hands wet, while allergic contact
dermatitis commonly follows exposure to substances, solvents, plants and animals that a
person is sensitive or allergic to.
Symptoms of eczema can vary in type and location on the body depending on the form
of the disease. The most common symptom among all forms of eczema is dry itchy
skin. Commonly affected skin areas include face, eye lids, wrists, back of the knees and
the folds of the arms. So if you have eczema, what can you do about it? Well, there are
a number of things you can do in terms of home remedies to deal with many types of
eczema. Let's take a look at a few...
Avoiding Stress and Allergens
As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Eczema, like
psoriasis, can be brought about and made more severe by stress, both physical and
mental. I'm mentioning this first because, before we proceed with other home remedies,
you would be well served to diminish your stress level, and thereby diminish its effect
on your eczema outbreaks wherever possible. Avoiding strenuous exercise, in particular
exercise that can cause excessive sweating or chafing during an eczema flare up is
advisable. Eat right and partake in moderate exercise, and get sufficient sleep. Avoid
contact with those things you're allergic to or that might bring about irritation or an
allergic reaction with your skin.
Keep it clean
Wash your skin with lukewarm water, not hot; wash about 10 to 15 minutes, no more.
Use a mild hypoallergenic soap or body wash every day. When finished, pat yourself
dry with a towel, do not rub your skin. Apply moisturizing lotion all over your body to
help prevent dry skin. Use plain vanilla type lotions, not ones with heavy fragrances,
dyes, or additives. And remember to wear gloves when handling solvents or detergents.
