It’s National Eczema Awareness Week, a time to raise understanding about a condition that affects millions of children and adults worldwide.
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) can cause itching, redness, and discomfort – but with the right care, flare-ups can be managed and quality of life can improve.
Pro tips from Dermatology Providers for safe, effective oatmeal baths:
• Use lukewarm-not hot-water to avoid triggering flare-ups.
• Add ½ to 1 cup of colloidal oatmeal, stirring until the water turns milky.
• Be mindful of safety – oatmeal can make the tub slippery, so use a nonslip mat (especially for kids and older adults) and ensure supervision during and after the bath.
Raising awareness means more people can find relief and feel confident in their skin. If you or a loved one struggles with eczema, we’re here to help.
