Among the primary distress of eczema is the itchiness. Some scratch will happen, not matter how hard we try or the type of anti-itch lotions we use. Every time we scrape, we're creating a wound and introducing bacteria to it. This raises the intensity of the eczema, and thus the intensity of the itchiness.
Steroid creams also can cause long-term thinning of the epidermis, which is only going to make the skin more susceptible to eczema as time goes on.
How Do You Understand if an Eczema Bleach Bath is the Appropriate Treatment for Me?
If the regions of your body affected by eczema appear in the neck down, an sterilizing bath can help speed healing. Whether your eczema affected regions are definitely infected, or if they just look like a reddish rash, killing off the bacteria colonizing these places allows scabs to form faster and healing to happen.
An Eczema Bath is so dilute, the dehydrating properties of bleach is not going to worsen already dry skin. After a bath make sure you seal in the wetness, and let your natural skin oils restore themselves.
I find that Vaseline functions nicely to seal in moisture after a tub or shower, and does not irritate the sensitive skin. Baby oil is a lighter weight option, and can also be successful when added to the bath water.
