Health Tip: Washing Your Skin When You Have Eczema
By LadyLively on December 15, 2015
When you have eczema, bathing properly can help keep redness and itching in check.
The National Eczema Association recommends:
- Bathe at least once daily. Limit the bath or shower to about 10 minutes, and keep the water lukewarm, not hot.
- Don’t use a washcloth to scrub skin.
- Use a mild cleanser or soap. If your skin is flaring badly, it’s best to limit or avoid cleansers.
- While your skin is still damp, apply topical medication. Then apply a generous amount of moisturizer to help lock in moisture and ease itching and dryness.
