The common locations of these rashes and bumps are the elbows, knees, arms, hands and feet. They can also appear on the face, especially the eyelids, around the eyes, and on the cheeks. They can be very unsightly, and the person will normally want to stay at home until the facial rashes disappear.
When baby's skin gets very itchy, an oatmeal bath can be very soothing and help skin heal. Put two cups of oats in a food processor (or use a coffee grinder) and grind them into a powder. Add the oatmeal powder to a running bath of warm (not hot) water and stir well. Soak in the oatmeal bath for 15 minutes, rinse with clean water and dab the skin dry with a soft towel. When baby's eczema breakouts are bad, it is safe to sooth them with an oatmeal bath twice daily.
Avoid triggers that may induce an eczema flare-up or worsen one when it is already underway. Triggers can include strong perfumes, rough clothing, heat, sweating, stress, low humidity, drastic temperature changes, and exposure to cats and dogs.
An oatmeal bath is an excellent natural treatment for eczema that also helps to relax you. Colloidal oatmeal baths, such as the one made by Aveeno, or one made of rolled oats from the grocery are great for calming inflamed, itchy skin. Such baths are easy to make. All you need to do is add one or two cups of oatmeal to your lukewarm water and then get in. If you are really itchy, then you will want to add more oats to the bath. After getting out of the bath, you need to use a moisturizer on your damp skin for keeping the moisture in your skin.
It is important to drink plenty of fresh, clean water each day. Eight to ten glasses will keep the body hydrated and should help keep moisture in your skin, a key treatment for eczema.
Coconut oil, when applied on the affected area, ensures that the skin remains soft. Many patients use this oil to heal eczema naturally. Rubbing a drop of diluted peppermint oil on the part affected with eczema can also provide great relief from itching. Another oil that is beneficial in this skin condition is patchouli. This oil, when applied topically, acts like an antiseptic and is potent enough to control an eczema outbreak. One of the most popular natural cures for eczema is tea tree oil. This is because it can eliminate eczema patches and relieve the accompanying itch. You can apply it topically or use it as a lotion, cream or a cleanser, provided that tea tree oil is an active ingredient of these items.
Having established what factors trigger your eczema, then obviously it is important that you avoid these triggers as far as possible.
You should then experience a definite reduction in the occurrence of your eczema flare-ups.
