Eczema can be frustrating and very uncomfortable; however, it is manageable.<br />

Read these 9 helpful pointers on what you can do to deal with it.<br />

Are you or someone else in<br />

your household affected by<br />

eczema? The problem could<br />

be that you don’t have the<br />

proper knowledge to manage<br />

it. Fortunately, this article was written with<br />

you in mind.<br />

1<br />

AVOID HOT SHOWERS<br />

Lukewarm showers are the way<br />

to go if you have eczema. Also, use a<br />

gentle cleanser and don’t rub too much.<br />

When you finish your shower, gently<br />

pat your skin dry with a soft towel.<br />

Enjoy a warm bath to soothe your skin.<br />

The water needs to be tepid. Sprinkle<br />

some colloidal oatmeal or baking soda<br />

in your bath. This helps soothe the skin.<br />

Another option is to add a half cup of<br />

bleach to your standard 40-gallon bath as<br />

this is thought to help eliminate bacteria<br />

on your skin.<br />

2<br />

DO NOT SCRATCH YOUR SKIN<br />

You will likely feel very itchy. If you<br />

decide to scratch, you’re going to find<br />

yourself scratching even more. Scratching<br />

can also cause serious damage to the skin<br />

or even lead to an infection. Moisturize as<br />

often as possible and use a cold<br />

compress which can relieve symptoms.<br />
