Answer 2

There are many products prescribed by doctors & other hopefully well meaning poeple develop something new everyday.
Prescibed or not some make the condition worse & some do make it a little better, even if the relief is temporary.
There is no preventative method, but there are some natural things you can do to keep it at bay.
Probably the most important one is hygiene. Having a bath daily, of an evening, using what medicational cream the doctor has prescribed or recommended. Letting that dry before going to bed.
Sunshine & sea water are also very good healers of it.

One day soon they'll find something that prevents & or heals it completley, but until then, hang in there mate!

The cause of excema is not known but aggravating factors include hands that are in constant contact with soap and water, harsh household products and some vegetable juices. If a physician does not specify a particular regimen, Arbonne has some recommendations that might alleviate some of your discomfort. Although it sounds silly, the ABC (Arbonne Baby Care) line is perfect as it is the most sensitive, pure, safe, and beneficial to your skin. They have a body wash, lotion, and body oil that are botanically-based and pH correct, dermatologist tested, non-sensitizing, non-irritating, and formulated without nut oils. They're formulated with shea butter which is a unique botanical that soothes, moisturizes and protects skin. With its key components of vitamin A and E, all types of skin (including sensitive) can benefit from shea butter’s supreme, conditioning effects. Its non-toxic makeup and skin-tolerable trait make it ideal for use on sensitive skin. The products are formulated without chemicals, dyes, fragrances, mineral oil, alcohol, wax, acetone, etc. They also have a great intelligence conditioning oil and rejuvenating cream that can be used whenever you feel it's necessary to relieve the discomfort and itching. I would be happy to send you a free sample if you would be open to giving it a try. It's best to try a product to ensure that it works for you before spending your money. Good luck.

Be careful what you handle.
Had it on my hands for years.
Washing up liquid is the worst avoid Fairy liquid at all costs its horrendous.So use rubber gloves.
Peeling spuds also sets my hands off so again gloves for peeling them
Cold weather is another one, my hands are much better in the summer.
Lots of hand cream Body Shop Vitamin E or hemp one are brill.
Goats milk instead of cows also helps me.

Answer 5

Try goat milk instead of cow milk. The fat is homogenised and seems to have a good effect on psoriasis and exzema.
It is thought not to be suitable for infants, though.
You can buy goat milk in supermarkets now, and there is no offensive smell to it. In fact, I think it tastes cleaner than cow milk.

Answer 6

The skin is your body's largest organ, acting as a barrier to keep moisture in and irritants out.

Dry skin, is often flaky or rough-feeling, dry skin is caused by the loss in the skins ability to regulate its own moisture.

Try active natural ingredients, like:-
Colloidal Oatmeat.
