Is There a Cure for Eczema?

Although there isn't a cure for eczema, Chatham Natural Skin Care is here to offer relief.

Here are a few tips to help you manage flare-ups, soothe the itch, and rebuild your skin barrier.

1. Know Your Eczema Triggers

  • Common eczema triggers: fragrance, harsh detergents, dairy, gluten, pollen, dust, pet dander, extreme temps, stress.

  • Keep a symptom journal is helpful. Noticing you have flair ups after pizza night? Swap in dairy free cheese. Itchier after yard work? Shower as soon as you’re back inside.

2. Cleanse Gently, Moisturize Generously

3. Hydrate From the Inside Out

Water promotes skin elasticity, flushes out irritants, and can help with inflammation. If you have a hard time drinking water try the two tips listed below. 

  • Add sliced cucumber, berries, or citrus.

  • Use zero sugar flavor drops..Try to drink a minimum of eight 8-oz glasses daily. 

4. Build an Eczema Safe Lifestyle

  • Dress wisely: Choose loose, breathable cotton.  Avoid scratchy wool and tight synthetics.

  • Manage stress: Yoga, walking, or 5-minute breathing drills can help with the itch that is stress related. 

  • Read ingredient labels: Try to avoid fragrances, mineral oils, petroleum, artificial colors and dyes.
