Eczema is a highly personal condition and people respond differently to triggers and treatments. Sometimes you need to try a few things before finding a self-management regimen that works best for you. Here are our seven top tips:
🟣Keep your home cool to ease itching around 18C is ideal.
🟣Go fragrance-free. Anything with a strong scent, from soap to air freshener, may be irritating to your skin.
🟣Mind the gap! Leave at least 10 minutes or ideally longer between applying an emollient and a topical steroid.
🟣Pinch itchy skin rather than scratching it, to avoid damaging the skin’s barrier.
🟣Use your emollients at least twice a day to prevent dryness, and at other times whenever your skin feels dry and itchy.
🟣Go back to basics on skincare.
🟣Don’t cut foods out of your diet without medical advice unless you or your child have been diagnosed with a food allergy.
