5How to Prevent Eczema in Children
Eczema flare-ups tend to occur in summer when children are overheated or swim a lot as well as winter due to dry air. The best way to prevent eczema is to avoid common triggers by following some tips as below:
– Use a humidifier: This device can help prevent a dry skin and help children sleep better at night.
– Avoid rough fabrics: Choose breathable and soft fabrics for children. Loose-fitting clothes are the best to prevent affected areas on the skin from being irritated further.
– Use moisturizers regularly: Doing this may keep the skin always damp, thus easing itchiness and speeding up healing. Applying moisturizers at least 2 times a day.
– Daily bath: Giving your children a bath with warm water and mild soap to prevent skin dryness. [8]
