How To Moisturize During The Day Time? Treat Eczema Part 7 – 3

If you have eczema your doctor may prescribe emollients for you. You can also buy many of them at your local pharmacy. Remember that many moisturisers on the shop shelves are not recommended as they may contain perfumes and other ingredients that will irritate your eczema.

A general principle is the drier the skin the more greasy the moisturiser needs to be. Be careful as some creams may also contain preservatives which may irritate your eczema. You can ask your doctor about this.

Using emollients is the mainstay of eczema management and by keeping your skin well moisturized you may reduce the need for other treatments. You need to use emollients all the time, not just when your eczema flares up.
