Not looking forward to dealing with your eczema in winter? Members of the NEA community offer the following tips to help you survive the storm.
- A humidifier in my son’s bedroom.
- I’m trying apple cider vinegar at the moment, both internally and externally.
- 100% African white shea butter has kept my 10-month-old moisturized better than any other lotions.
- Staying hydrated and moisturized.
- Bleach baths have saved my daughter’s skin. Then we lotion up and use ointment.
- Apple cider vinegar baths and CeraVe cream twice a day.
- I use a product called Sween Cream made by a company called Coloplast for my three-year-old. I put it on his entire body at night before bed and in the morning before going to the babysitter.
- A good humidifier helps. Eucerin after baths at night. Deep Steep Body Butter during the day and liquid vitamin D. I think the vitamin has been a big help.
- Curel Itch Defense Lotion or 100% shea butter.
- I have dyshidrotic eczema. For me, it’s ointment and Saran wrap for the night. I’ll do that about 3 nights consecutively and it helps. During the day, I use an antifungal cream and two servings of probiotics. One serving doesn’t seem to help.
- I think we just have to keep trying all these creams until we find the correct one, something that your skin will accept.
- Applying Cetaphil lotion after my daughter’s bath.
- I invested in a product for my two-year-old called True Science. It has been really good for him and we do sea salt baths.
- Wet wraps!
- Daily antihistamine and reduce stress!
