How do you cure eczema?

Eczema is caused by a combination of internal and external factors, so it seems that some people have a genetic predisposition to react to some environmental factors that do not cause problems to other people. For example, if you suffer from atopic eczema (atopic dermatitis) you may have an inherited predisposition to this disease, which means that your skin is likely to react to a specific environmental trigger.

There are several things that may come into contact with the skin of certain people and trigger this condition. When the irritant is removed, the skin usually returns to its normal state in a few days. Some common irritants include detergents, wool, rubber, deodorants, perfumes, cosmetics and paint.
There are also other contributing factors referred to as allergens. Examples of allergens are dust, pet saliva, feathers, pollen, and possibly certain foods. When an allergen comes into contact with the skin of the person who has this allergy, the immune system reacts to it, causing the outbreaks.

So, how do you cure eczema?

First avoid any known irritants and allergens. You can identify them by keeping a journal, which can help you understand exactly what triggers your outbreaks. In general, perfume, cologne and some skin care products that contain alcohol should be avoided.
Avoid stress because it can make your eczema worse. Stress suppresses your immune system.
Avoid sudden changes in temperature, from very cold to very hot, because they can affect your skin and worsen the situation. For example, central heating and air conditioning can dry the skin and cause itching. Some people may be affected from the sun, while for others the sun may help.
Wear cotton clothes or clothes with a high content of cotton. Wool and synthetic fabrics are often irritating eczema. When washing your clothes, laundry softeners should be avoided.
If you don't already own a pet, it would be better not get one now. But if you have a pet, you should take some precautions. Try to limit the animal in one or two rooms. Don't allow your pets to sleep in your bed and keep them out of the bedroom and bathroom. Also do not come into direct contact with the pet's saliva.
Change your diet: Certain foods such as dairy products and foods of high acidity may trigger this condition.
