\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMaybe the first question you asked yourself after the doctor diagnosed your condition was, \u201cWhy me ? Why do I have to suffer the redness and irritation of dermatitis ? Why do I have to suffer the itching and dryness of\u00a0eczema<\/a>\u00a0?\u201dYour doctor is perhaps best qualified to answer that question, difficult as it can be, but it may help to know that you\u2019re not alone. Millions of other people suffer from some form of dermatitus every year.\n\nThe following tips are designed to help those with diagnosed conditions of\u00a0eczema<\/a>\u00a0or dermatitis control the itching and dryness that accompany these afflictions :-\n\nBeware Of Dry Air\n\nDermatitis is aggravated by dehumidified air, especially during winter months when forced-air heat circulates in the home. Since dry air tends to aggravate the itching of\u00a0eczema<\/a>\u00a0or dermatitis, keeping indoor air moist should be a primary concern of sufferers and their families. You can counter dry air with a good humidifier, but you really need a big unit to do any good. If you sleep next to it however, that\u2019s ok. Put it next to your bed.\n\nLike It Lukewarm.\n\nWhile some experts feel excessive bathing can aggravate the condition, others feel that regular baths reduce the chances of infection and help soften the skin. Taking these different opinions into account, the safest thing to do is to bathe regularly but use lukewarm water. Not too hot, yet not too cold.\n\nGo For Grease.\n\nRegular soap need not be avoided in your bath as long as a moisturiser is applied after its use to keep the skin from drying out. A number of after-bath emollients (greases) are available over the counter. If your skin still seems dry after using one of these products, move up to heavier creams or ointments.\n\nTake An Oatmeal Bath.\n\nFor an additional soothing treat, add colloidal (fine powder) oatmeal to the bath water. You can even use oatmeal as a soap substitute. For the bath, pour colloidal oatmeal (from your pharmacy) into a bath of lukewarm water. For use as a soap substitute, wrap the oatmeal in handkerchief, tie it with a rubber band, dunk it in the water, wring it out, and use as you would a normal washcloth.\n\nTake Comfort In Cotton.\n\nCotton clothing worn next to the skin is much better than either wool or polyester. Avoid synthetics or itchy fabrics, as well as tight or badly fitting clothes. In addition to looking tacky, such clothing can trigger itching.\n\nCompress To Soothe.\n\nCold wet dressings can help soothe and relieve the itching associated with contact dermatitis. Try cold milk instead of water, it seems to be a lot more soothing.\n\nCool With Calamine.\n\nCalamine lotion is good for many types of rashes that ooze and may need to be dried out. Also, calamine lotion with\u00a0menthol<\/a>\u00a0or phenol added to it can be purchased over the counter from the pharmacy. This seems to help itching better than calamine lotion alone.\n\nBeware Of Body Lotions.\n\nSometimes baby lotions aren\u2019t the best thing for childhood eczema. They have a high water content, and that can further dry and irritate the skin as evaporation takes place. Use creams or ointments instead.\n\nWash Once, Rinse Twice.\n\nWhen it comes to doing the laundry for people with eczema or dermatitis, make sure the detergent is washed out thoroughly. Don\u2019t use too much detergent, and always rinse the clothes at least twice.\n\nThank you for reading this article.
