10How to Prevent Papular Eczema Flare-Ups
Papular eczema cannot be prevented. However, you may keep flare-ups from happening or worsening. The key is to moisturize the skin regularly after taking showers and baths when the skin is still damp. Wear loose-fitting, cotton clothing to avoid scratching the skin and ease itching. You should try identifying and avoiding possible triggers, such as dandruff, mold, pet hair, dust mites, pollen, cigarette smoke, nickel, and some metals, certain detergents and soaps, formaldehyde-containing disinfectants, temporary tattoos, dyes, personal care products, antibacterial ointments, cold weather, and stress.
