Ever since my son , has been 2 years old he has suffered from eczema. It was so difficult to watch your child go throw that sort of pain and feel so powerless to stop or control. After a few misses I started to notice patterns, this helped me to develop a eczema management plans.

Here is my list things that can help manage eczema
Wash everything in hot water
Line dry in the sun for longer then 4 hours
- This will kill any dust mites that might be living in your bedding and clothes.
Use Dove Soap or an Oatmeal Bath
- Both have a natural PH this will stop the skin drying out even more
Keep the shower at a medium heat
- Extra hot showers will dry the skin
Dry yourself extra well after a bath or shower
- Air dry for 10 minutes if you can
Reduce the amount of processed foods
- A lot of additives can cause eczema to flair up
Stop skin rubbing
-This is an important one, when skin touches the air is unable to dry the sweat and will stop the skin from healing
Stick to natural fibres
This will again help the sweat on your skin to dry and heal.
Dust regularly
- Dust is a common cause of Eczema
Test for food allergies
This is a common cause of eczema, Ask your doctor to do an allergy test.
These are just simple ways to treat eczema. Having an allergy test done at the doctors is a great place to start. Once you discover what is causing your eczema its easier to manage long term.
