Avoid eczema triggers! ...
While some conditions that aggravate your eczema, like winter weather, are certainly out of your control, there are things you can control, such as eliminating foods that you may be sensitive to (eggs, milk, nuts, seafood, wheat or soy, etc.) or avoiding skin irritants (soaps, detergents, perfumes, allergens such as dust mites and pet dander). Always use moisturizers frequently and liberally, especially after bathing, and only use mild soaps and cleansers that won't dry out your skin. Managing stress is also an important way to deal with this itchy, uncomfortable skin condition.
