Treating Eczema: Identifying Triggers
The first step in treating eczema is to identify the precipitating event or trigger and avoid it if possible! You may not see an immediate improvement, but if you are going to successfully treat eczema, it is important to break the cycle! Here are some tips:
Avoid situations that will make you sweat -- don't pile on blankets.
Cut cows' milk, eggs, citrus fruits, and peanut products from your diet.
Wash clothes in a laundry detergent made for sensitive skin, such as Dreft Laundry Detergent.
Avoid dressing in wool or any other harsh material (cotton is excellent).
