KEEP SWEATING TO A MINIMUM
Getting overheated and sweating
a lot can aggravate eczema. Of course
you want to stay active, but you need to
monitor activity and cool off immediately

a workout.

WEAR WATERPROOF GLOVES
No one knows exactly what causes
eczema or how to get rid of it permanently.
Still, you can reduce your symptoms and
flare-ups. The phenomenon, known as
“dishpan hands,” is a type of eczema known
for causing cracked, dry skin. Those who
are plagued with hand eczema should wear
a pair of waterproof gloves whenever they
wash dishes. Latex gloves work, but some
people are allergic to latex. So, cotton
gloves can be worn underneath them.
After the dishes are washed, gently clean
your hands, pat dry, and add moisturizer.
If you have had to deal with eczema,
you certainly know that this condition
can be quite aggravating. Maybe you
can now better manage your eczema
condition. Hopefully, this article provides
the information you have needed
from the start.
