I?ve had eczema for as long as I can remember. As I?ve gotten older, it?s gotten better. But, during the winter months, living with it can sometimes be uncomfortable at best. Here are five tips that I find helpful, in dealing with eczema:
- Avoid over-bathing. I love to take long, hot showers. Unfortunately, during the winter months, I can?t.
- Bathe in warm (not hot) water. Hot water can dry out the skin, so those short showers I take luke warm.
- Use a ?non-soap.? I use Dove, because it doesn?t dry out my skin like soap does.
- Apply moisturizer frequently. I carry lotion with me at all times. Anytime I?m feeling dry, I break it out and lotion up.
- Avoid scented soaps, detergents, etc. I use any ?free and clear? detergent. My skin seems to like it better
- Stay away from wool clothing. Or, at least wear some sort of undergarment to shield you skin from direct contact.
I hope this helps any of you out there dealing with this very annoying and uncomfortable skin condition. If you have any additional tips, please let me know!
