October is eczema awareness month. Prevention is an essential aspect of every eczema treatment plan. We highly recommend making a plan to help prevent flareups, improve moisture levels, and heal your skin. Everyone is different, but some of the steps we recommend include:
- Partner with a skin care specialist to create a personalized care plan
- Learn your triggers (try to track and pinpoint external and internal factors that cause flareups)
- Implement a bathing and moisturizing routine to keep skin free of bacteria and prevent dryness and infection
- Use natural, good quality products
- Reduce stress and develop healthy coping techniques when stress arises
- Avoid itching or scratching at the areas of skin impacted by eczema
TIPS for at-home care:
Use creams and ointments to moisturize and repair the skin.
Since fragrances and wools can be irritating, avoid these products. Instead, use fragrance-free products and wear gentle fabrics.
Avoid contact with air pollutants such as cigarette smoke.
Try to optimize temperature and humidity in your home.
