How to Fight Eczema

How to Fight Eczema

Our friend D-D has suffered from eczema for years. She's sought out remedies from 'a million different places': Dermatologists, aestheticians, naturopaths, massage therapists. 'I have done it all,' she says.

Here's a culmination of her best tips:

1. Eczema is triggered by cold, dry weather, stress and a bad lifestyle. But like cancer, it does go into remission.
2. Always wear gloves when you do dishes.
3. Always moisturize after you wash your hands.
4. When the exzema is really bad, moisturize when you go to bed and sleep with cotton gloves. When you shower, try Eucerin instead of soap.
5. Try to shower less, the less your hands get wet the better.
6. Cut down on stress any way you can: Try yoga, meditation exercises.
7. Avoid touching things: You're more susceptible to infections when you have a breakout.
8. Consult a nutritionist. Wheat and dairy can aggravate your eczema.
