Eczema Cure

Unfortunately there is no cure for eczema, although there are many ways to keep it under control. If treated and managed well the disease has less impact on daily living and is less likely to have a negative effect on the quality of daily life. Treatment aims at relieving the symptoms and prevention of future outbreaks.

Some provisions may include:
  • Maintaining a healthy diet
  • Avoid irritating fabrics, environments, products
  • Reducing stress and avoiding stressful triggers
  • Try take precautions or use proven creams to reduce the need to scratch when itching sensations arise.
Harsh chemicals like detergents cause allergies and dermatitis may occur in the process. It is always advisable to treat the skin gently and use only mild herbal products for the skin. Look closely at commercial washing powders, shampoos and skin care products.

Many of these products contain petrochemicals, and artificial aroma agents. Many baby products are bases on petroleum. Scratching the skin whenever it itches sets up a vicious cycle of scratch and itch. It is best to control violent itching by the application of a soothing lotion. Vigorous scratching may lead to tear or breakage of the skin which then paves the way for further bacterial infection.
