💡 : Managing Eczema at Home 💡
Living with eczema can be challenging, but the right at-home care can make a world of difference. Here are some dermatologist-approved ways to soothe and protect your skin:
🧴 Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize: Hydration is key! Apply a thick, fragrance-free cream or ointment multiple times a day—especially right after bathing—to help lock in moisture and repair your skin barrier.
🚫 Avoid your triggers: Common culprits include harsh soaps, fragrances, wool fabrics, stress, and changes in temperature. Identifying and minimizing your personal triggers can help prevent flare-ups.
💊 Use prescribed medications as directed: Topical corticosteroids, non-steroid creams, or other prescribed treatments can help calm inflammation when eczema flares up. Always follow your dermatologist’s guidance for safe and effective use.
💧 Try additional therapies: Wet wrap therapy, gentle oatmeal baths, and using a humidifier at home can all help soothe itching and dryness—especially during colder months.
✨ Consistent care and early intervention can make a big difference in managing eczema and keeping your skin comfortable.
If your eczema isn’t improving or is affecting your quality of life, our board-certified dermatologists at Dermatology Partners are here to help with personalized, effective treatment options.
