How to Take Care of Eczema

Eczema: Researchers believe that it is most likely genetic, although here are triggers that cause its flare-ups. Eczema is fairly common – approximately 1 in 10 people in the world will be affected by it at some point in their lives.

What is eczema?

Eczema is a skin condition that causes the skin to become red, irritated and itchy. Sometimes small, fluid-filled bumps appear on the skin as well. Eczema is most common in infants. Many people outgrow it by early adulthood.

Eczema Triggers

The following can trigger or worsen eczema symptoms:

Allergy to pollen in the air, mold, dust mites, or animals
Colds or flu
Dry skin
Exposure to environmental irritants
Fragrances or dyes added to skin lotions or soaps
Stress
Food allergies

Symptoms of Eczema

Usually, the first symptom of eczema is intense itching
Rash appears later; is red and bumpy
The rash itches or burns
If it is scratched, it may ooze and become crusty
Chronic rubbing produces thickened plaques of skin
Painful cracks can develop over time. In children younger than age 2, skin lesions begin on the face, scalp, hands, and feet. It is often a crusting or oozing rash. In older children and adults, the rash is more commonly seen on the inside of the knees and elbows.

Recommended Self Care of Eczema (External)

Remove whatever is causing the allergic reaction (e.g. change laundry detergent to Forever MPD).
Prevent dry skin by taking warm (but not too hot) showers or baths.
Use Bath Gelee in shower, then spray Aloe First and pat dry, and lastly apply Aloe Vera Gelly, followed by Aloe Propolis Crème.
Avoid wearing tight-fitting, rough clothing.
Avoid scratching the rash. If can’t stop yourself from scratching, cover the area with a dressing.
Eat right, do light exercise, and rest well.
