Eczema Solutions That Are Quite Simple

By Arlene Case


In case you have ever been disappointed or discouraged by regular medical procedures regarding Eczema, then you may find these tips to be helpful. There are a few proven methods to gaining Eczema relief that have little to do with drugs, medication or Doctors. Check them out below.

Keep your skin moisturized Consistency would be the key here. When you set a regime, you should stick to it. It is better if it's more often and usually, it's once in the evening and once in the morning is very beneficial. In the morning, you want to apply the moisturizer after your bath or shower. If you want your skin to be mostly dry but still a little damp, towel it lightly and apply the moisturizer then. If you do this, then you will be able to absorb a lot of the moisture left over from the bath. As a side note, if you can find an unscented moisturizer you may better off, as scenting agents have been proved to exacerbate Eczema. Can you imagine coating your skin in something that is only going to make it worse?

Giving Your Diet a Makeover This may require seeing a dietitian, or anyone else trained to give advice on diet in relation to your health. Many people underestimate the importance of diet, but think of it this way-you may be eating the wrong kinds of foods right now, and making your Eczema 3 or 4 times as bad as it would otherwise be. Sometimes, scientists have found that highly acidic foods are linked to Eczema which means that you may experience benefits by cutting down on them, or by taking kelp supplements, which are very high in alkali and can neutralize the acid in some foods.

Get Some Vitamin E Cream Vitamin E is great when applied directly affected Eczema areas, as it has proven anti-microbial qualities. To a lot of people, this doesn't seem much but there are certain microbes and bacteria are thought to be responsible for a large percentage of the itching and discomfort from Eczema which is why removing them with Vitamin E can really bring some relief. Also, synthetic vitamin E will not have the same benefits as a natural version and this is another thing worth noting.

Be Sure That You Dress Smart Any clothing or bedding or towels or anything that you find even slightly irritating should be thrown out. A minor irritation like this can really cause problems long term. Replacing them with the softest 100% cotton you can find is what you can do. How about if you rethink your laundry situation? Wreaking havoc with skin conditions are detergents and softeners which is why you may want to switch to natural unscented detergents etc. to combat this.

It's true the Eczema can ruin your life but only if you let it. It doesn't have to, however. You can experience some real relief and start to gain some real headway in getting rid of it forever as long as you play it smart and work against it by using the pointers above.
