Understanding Dermatitis and Eczema: Causes and Treatments
Millions of people are affected by dermatitis and eczema annually. If you're dealing with the redness, irritation, itching, and dryness of these conditions, know that you’re not alone. Here's how to manage your symptoms effectively.
Keep the Air Moist
Dry air, especially during winter with indoor heating, can worsen dermatitis and eczema. Using a quality humidifier can help maintain moisture in the air. Place a humidifier near your bed to maximize its benefits while you sleep.
Bathe Wisely
There are mixed opinions on bathing frequency, but many agree that regular baths can reduce infection risk and soften skin. Opt for lukewarm water?"neither too hot nor too cold?"to soothe your skin without aggravating your condition.
Moisturize After Bathing
Using regular soap is fine as long as you apply a moisturizer afterward. Over-the-counter emollients are great, but if your skin remains dry, consider switching to heavier creams or ointments.
Try an Oatmeal Bath
Colloidal oatmeal, available at pharmacies, can be soothing. Add it to your bathwater or use it as a soap substitute. Wrap oatmeal in a cloth, dip it in water, and use it like a washcloth for a gentle cleansing experience.
Choose Cotton Clothing
Wear cotton clothing instead of wool or synthetic fabrics. Tight or poorly fitting clothes can trigger itching, so opt for loose, comfortable attire to minimize irritation.
Use Cold Compresses
Cold, wet dressings can alleviate itching associated with dermatitis. For an extra soothing effect, try using cold milk instead of water.
Apply Calamine Lotion
For rashes that ooze, calamine lotion can help. Opt for versions with menthol or phenol for enhanced relief from itching.
Avoid Water-Based Lotions
Lotions with high water content can dry out the skin further. For childhood eczema, use creams or ointments instead of baby lotions.
Rinse Laundry Thoroughly
When washing clothes for someone with eczema or dermatitis, ensure detergent is fully rinsed out. Use a small amount and rinse clothing at least twice to prevent irritation.
