I know this is a little off topic from the facial skincare posts i do but i thought this might be useful to some of you who have eczema like me or know someone who has it.

1. Warm water. Shower with warm water not hot. Eczema is basically dry skin & showing with hot steamy water will make your skin even more dry.
2. After showering, put the cream/lotion that your doctor gave you on the affected areas. Also, apply cream/lotion in the morning when you get up before you start your day, and before you go to bed. This will keep your skin hydrated.
3. Your doctor may have prescribed you some itching tablets. Don’t wait until you get itchy to take them. Take it in the morning before you go out to prevent you from itching throughout the day OR if you itch at night then take it about an hour before you go to bed. Not both please because i believe your only suppose to take 1 tablet per day.
4. Change your bed sheets and covers frequently in order to keep clean.
5. Avoid wearing knitted clothing. This may irritate your skin. You cans till wear knitted clothing but you need to wear a shirt underneath. Cotton is the ideal material that will not irritate your eczema.
6. Perfume can be one of the things that may also provoke eczema so it may be best to avoid them. If, however, you feel the need to wear perfume then be careful and only spray lightly. This goes for sprays and deodorants too. find one without perfume/parfume.
