Whats a good natural treatment for eczema, dont want to use hydrocortisones?
Here is a list of do’s and don’ts that I hope you will find helpful. Things not to do:- Don’t use biological powders Don’t use fabric softeners Don’t use soap or detergents to wash with Don’t use standard shower gels or bath additives Things to do :- Try Fairy Snow -the old fashioned powder Use dryer balls Use a soap free cleanser to wash hands etc. Use a moisturising shower gel like Oilatum Use a moisture bath additive like Aveeno Use a good moisturiser like Aveeno Use it very frequently, you can’t over-moisturise! Use antihistamines for itch, a non sedative one like loratidine in the morning and a sedative one such piriton at night. You may need to use steroids creams/ointments for flare up areas. Use the mildest you can, for the shortest time possible. If you do not use anything above 1% hydrocotisone there are effectively no risks of any steroid side effects.
