The unbelievable frustration and distress that is always brought on by eczema is sometimes underestimated and it really is one of the worst skin conditions. However, apart from steroids (that shouldn't be used as a long-term treatment), there are workable eczema natural remedies to clear and prevent eczema that I will discuss in this article.

Eczema and the diet
One of the top causes of eczema is allergies to foods. If you don't already know what foods bring on your eczema, now is a good time to find out. You can have a skin test performed at your local surgery or you can keep a diary yourself of what you eat each day and when your eczema flares up. After 3-4 weeks you should see a trend forming and will be able to determine the offending foods and remove them where possible from the diet.

Miniaturization
Another main cause of itchiness leading to eczema is lack of moisture in the skin. Unfortunately that doesn't mean being able to use any old skin cream. Carefully choose an unperfumed, preferably organic range of skin cream with vitamin E. Look out for labels stating that the cream is dermatologically tested and therefore suitable for highly sensitive skin. If you have used emollients and they have not worked, don't persevere with them as they are not suited to everyone and can sometimes make eczema worse. Moisturize every day after bathing.

Avoid touching the face and other eczema areas
This may seem impossible, but as someone who has accomplished it, I can tell you that it is not only possible, but extremely important and should be part of your eczema natural remedies regime.

Everyday our hands come into contact with all sorts of potential irritants and we then transfer the irritant to out faces and areas with eczema when we touch them. Keep this in your mind at all times. Be aware that touching your face can bring on eczema and you will soon train your mind to avoid it. Keeping you hands clean, is also essential and there will be less cause for concern if the areas are touched.

These are just a few methods for beginning your road to clear and itch-free skin. There are also other extremely effective eczema remedies to keep it away for good. To access the full guide to getting rid of eczema, continue to Eczema Natural Remedies.
