Six Helpful Tips for Dealing with Eczema | The Mom with Moxie

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:

  1. Avoid over-bathing. I love to take long, hot showers. Unfortunately, during the winter months, I can?t.
  2. Bathe in warm (not hot) water. Hot water can dry out the skin, so those short showers I take luke warm.
  3. Use a ?non-soap.? I use Dove, because it doesn?t dry out my skin like soap does.
  4. Apply moisturizer frequently. I carry lotion with me at all times. Anytime I?m feeling dry, I break it out and lotion up.
  5. Avoid scented soaps, detergents, etc. I use any ?free and clear? detergent. My skin seems to like it better
  6. 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!

Disclaimer: I am not a medical doctor. I?m just a mom who has eczema, trying to deal.
