💡 TIPS & TRICKS TUESDAY 💡
🧴 Eczema is not contagious
Reassure others—it’s perfectly safe to be around someone with eczema. It’s a skin condition, not an infection.
👩⚕️ Adults get eczema too!
Flare-ups can happen to adults, especially during times of hormonal change, stress, or dry seasons.
Use gentle, fragrance-free skincare products and moisturisers tailored for adult skin.
😮💨 Stress is not a cause—but can be a trigger
Eczema is not “caused” by stress, but flare-ups can worsen during anxious or overwhelming times.
🧘🏼♀️ Use stress management tools like mindfulness apps, deep breathing, or magnesium-based soaks.
🥦 Yes, food matters!
🐮 You may notice flare-ups after consuming dairy, gluten, or high-histamine foods.
📔 Use a symptom diary—track meals and flare-ups to identify potential food triggers. Dietitian support can also help!
