Although eczema and atopic dermatitis can cause patches of dry, itchy skin that eventually break, bleed, or become infected, there are some tried-and-true home remedies that can lessen the itching, inflammation, and other symptoms, according to skincare and health experts. However, the best course of action is to seek the advice of a reputable dermatologist and follow a treatment plan that is unique to you.
The topical treatments for facial eczema are
1. Apple cider vinegar
It is a well-known home cure for a variety of ailments, including skin diseases like eczema. Apple cider vinegar should be used in a wet wrap.
• Combine one cup of warm water with one spoonful of apple cider vinegar.
• Dab the cotton or gauze with the solution.
• Wrap this dressing in a piece of fresh cotton fabric.
• Leave it there for three hours.
2. Aloe vera:
The effects of aloe vera on human health were documented by a systematic review in 2017. According to research, aloe vera has the following health benefits: aids in wound healing; strengthens the immune system; has antibacterial and antimicrobial qualities.
3. Colloidal oatmeal
Avena sativa, is another name for it. It comes from oats that have been boiled and ground. The therapeutic powers of this are then applied to the skin. In a 2015 study, lotions containing colloidal oats had antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, leading to decreases in scaling, roughness, skin dryness, and itching severity.
Useful products include lotions and creams with noncolloidal oats that are free of chemicals and scents.
4. Coconut oil:
Adds hydration to the skin and contains healthy fatty acids that can assist with dry skin and eczema. In addition, virgin coconut oil improves the health of the skin’s barrier and protects the skin by reducing inflammation. Additionally, a study discovered that utilizing the oil for eight weeks reduced the signs of childhood eczema.
How to apply: Apply cold-pressed virgin coconut oil to the affected skin or area after a bath and as often as necessary during the day. Even using it before bed would be advised to keep the skin hydrated all night. Note: It is advised to avoid using coconut oil if you have a coconut allergy.
5. Honey:
In addition to hydrating eczema-affected skin, honey helps to prevent infections and hasten the healing process. It has been used for ages as a natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent.
Apply honey to the affected region by dabbing it there for a time. But because it is so sticky, it would be wise to use it before taking a bath.
6. Tea tree oil:
Made from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia plant, this oil aids in the treatment of skin conditions (including eczema). The oil’s wound-healing, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory characteristics aid to relieve dryness and irritation of the skin (which in turn helps prevent infections).
How to use: Tea tree oil can be used directly to the affected area by combining it with a carrier oil, such as almond or olive oil.
