Exema a skin disease HELP!?
Heal with oatmeal. "Oatmeal baths made from powders such as Aveeno provide effective but temporary relief from the itching of eczema and dermatitis


Relieve the itch with ice. An ice pack made by putting ice cubes in a plastic bag and placing it on the itchy area makes an inexpensive and effective itch fighter


Pour some cold milk onto a gauze pad or thin piece of cotton and apply it to the skin for about three minutes. Resoak the cloth and reapply at least two more times for three-minute soaks. Repeat several times a day, but make sure to rinse your skin in cool water after each application, because the milk will smell.


Avoid most antiperspirants. The active "drying" ingredients found in most antiperspirants-aluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate and zirconium chlorohydrates-are too irritating to those with dry, sensitive skin.


Keep nails short and clean


Humidify your surroundings recommend either buying a cold-air humidifier or placing shallow pans of water near radiators and on wood stoves to add humidity


Showers should last about three minutes-and no longer than five minutes because longer shower will make dryness worse.And use only your fingertips to wash--not washcloths or sponges--and then pat yourself dry


Don't forget your emollients


Wise to double-rinse your laundry to make sure the detergent rinses out and won't come in contact with your skin


Don't use dryer sheets because some of the chemicals in fabric-softening dryer sheets remain on the skin and can be irritating to people with eczema


Don't be a fool if you use a pool.(chlorine)


Buy American when it comes to cosmetics. The general rule is, avoid cosmetics if you're bothered by eczema or dermatitis. But if you must wear them, buy American. That's because some cosmetics made in Japan, Italy, France and other foreign countries contain formaldehyde, which can cause allergic dermatitis in many people.


If you are feeling stressed out or are particularly worried about something, it will only aggravate your condition.





Here are some other things that you should avoid if you're prone to eczema.:


1.Baby lotions


2.Colored toilet paper and tissues


3.Stuffed animals, fuzzy and furry toys and pillows can bother those with sensitive skin


4.Real animals


5.Fake fingernails


6.Live Christmas trees


7.Quick changes in air temperature


8.Metallic jewelry: If you're prone to nickel allergies--the most common form of contact dermatitis--then avoid watchbands, earrings and jewelry that cause a skin reaction. Buying earrings? Look for earring posts that are stainless steel.
