WHAT STOPS THE ITCHING OF ECZEMA?
Eczema can be incredibly uncomfortable and itchy, itching to the point where you can’t stop scratching and the eczema ends up aggravated and bleeding. The best way to soothe itching and inflammed eczema is to use gentle products that moisturise the dry skin. The most obvious cure is to stop scratching, as it aggravates the area more. But that’s easier said than done as it often feels as though that’s not possible!
- Take a warm bath
- Moisturise your skin regularly (especially after bathing)
- Apply cool, wet compresses
- Take an oral allergy medication like an anti-histamine
- Apply an anti-itch cream or calamine lotion to the affected area
