Itch itch scratch scratch. Mosquito bites? Hives? need a bath?? NO. .....Eczema. Don't scratch it, but it is so itchy.
Four common eczemas:
1. Atopic Eczema - hereditary
2. Seborrhoeic dermatitis - cradle cap, affects scalp and eyebrows
3. Contact dermatitis - allergic reaction, and irritant (eg affected by a chemical that you come into contact with)
4. Xerotic Eczema - dry skin that becomes so bad it turns into eczema
What do you do? See a health practitioner to find out which one you have.
Moisturising is VERY important. Don't use soap. Get out in the sun (but not too much), watch what you eat (for Atopic) coffee, dairy products, wheat, eggs could bring on eczema. Swimming in the ocean may help.
I recommend our Self Heal Tanekaha Cream with golden seal to keep the skin moisturized.
