Prevention of Dryness & Eczema
Eczema is a sort of allergy with skin itchiness. It is more common in children & usually improves with age. Prevention is mainly though:
Do not take too long, too frequent, or too hot showers. Warm showers are better than hot showers. Don’t use strong soaps. After baths gently pat your skin dry with a soft towel, then apply a moisturizer while your skin is still moist to trap the water in your skin. Vaseline & baby oil are good moisturizers.
You may also be able to identify what triggers your inflammation e.g. changes of temperature, sweating and stress. Wool products, such as rugs, bedding and clothes may also aggravate the allergy.
