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.

How to Keep Your Skin Moisturized The key here is consistency. You need to stick to the regime that you have set. Usually once in the evening and once in the morning is very beneficial and the more often the better. You want to apply the moisturizer after your bath or shower in the morning. Lightly towel your skin so that it is mostly dry but still a little damp, and apply the moisturizer then. Doing this will enable your body to absorb a lot of the moisture left over from the bath. As a side note, scenting agents have been proved to exacerbate Eczema which is why if you can find an unscented moisturizer you may better off. Why would you want to coat your skin in something that is only going to make it worse?

Give Your Diet A Makeover If you want to do this, then you may be required to see a dietitian or anyone else trained to give advice on diet in relation to your health. There are a lot of people who underestimate the importance of diet but try thinking 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. Scientists have sometimes found that highly acidic foods are linked to Eczema, so 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.

Dress Smart! Throw out any clothing or bedding or towels or anything that you find even slightly irritating. Problems long term can be caused by even a minor irritation like this. Replace it all with the softest 100% cotton you can find. Also, rethink your laundry situation. Detergents and softeners etc can wreak havoc with skin conditions, so 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.
