Natural Eczema Treatments

You might have a need for natural eczema treatments if you have any of the following symptoms.

Doctors sometimes refer to eczema as "the itch that rashes."
Usually the first symptom of eczema is intense itching.

The rash appears later. It is patchy and starts out as flaky or scaly dry skin on top of reddened, inflamed skin.

The rash itches or burns.

If it is scratched, it may ooze and become crusty, especially in young children.

In adults, the patches are more likely to be brownish, scaly, and thickened.

Some people develop red bumps or clear fluid-filled bumps that look "bubbly" and, when scratched, add wetness to the overall appearance.

Painful cracks can develop over time.

The rash can be located anywhere on the body but is most often found on the face and on the arms and legs, particularly in creases and on hands and feet. This pattern makes sense because the face and extremities are in contact with external agents more than any other part of the body.

The itching may be so intense that it interferes with sleep.

The easiest and most effective natural eczema treatment is to remove whatever is causing the allergic reaction. This may be as simple as changing your laundry detergent or as difficult as moving to a new climate or changing jobs.

Prevent dry skin by taking warm (not hot) showers rather than baths. Use a mild soap or body cleanser. Dry yourself very carefully and apply moisturizing skin lotions all over your body. Avoid lotions with fragrances or other irritating substances.

Avoid wearing tight-fitting, rough, or scratchy clothing.

Avoid scratching the rash. If you can't stop yourself from scratching, cover the area with a dressing. Wear gloves at night to minimize skin damage from scratching.
