AVOID FOODS THAT AGGRAVATE ECZEMA

I’ve already touched on the importance of getting an allergy test as a first step in treating and preventing eczema, and while grains and dairy are known to make eczema symptoms worse, eggs, nuts, seeds, and soy can also trigger an eczema flare. It’s definitely worth talking to your doctor or allergist about potential foods you should avoid and to do a bit of trial and error to see if diet has an impact.

EXERCISE PROPER STRESS MANAGEMENT

I’ve read conflicting views on the role stress plays on eczema. Some say it’s a trigger, others aren’t sure. From my own personal experience, I have noticed that my skin bothers me more when I’m feeling anxious and overwhelmed, and I’m a big proponent of proper stress management regardless of the condition of your skin!

If you or someone you love suffers from red, raw, inflamed, and itchy skin due to eczema, I hope one (or more!) of these eczema remedies helps. Remember to be patient, to try one remedy at a time so you can properly evaluate whether it helps your symptoms or makes them worse, and to never give up. You CAN find a way to relieve your eczema naturally!
