What Are Simple Eczema Solutions?
Keeping Your Skin Moisturized Here, the key would be consistency. Set a regime, and stick to it. The more often the better, usually once in the evening and once in the morning is very beneficial. In the morning, what you'd want to do is apply the moisturizer after your bath or shower. Towel your skin lightly so it is mostly dry but still a little damp, and apply the moisturizer then. This will enable your body to absorb a lot of the moisture left over from the bath. As a side note, you may be better off if you can find an unscented moisturizer because scenting agents have been proved to exacerbate Eczema. 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.
How about Getting Some Vitamin E Cream Vitamin E has proven anti-microbial qualities which is why it is great when applied directly to affected Eczema areas. This doesn't mean to much to most people, but certain microbes and bacteria are thought to be responsible for a large percentage of the itching and discomfort from Eczema, so removing them with Vitamin E can really bring some relief. Also, it's worth noting that synthetic vitamin E will not have the same benefits as a natural version.
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.
