Eczema as a condition is characterized by dry, itchy and scaly skin. Its symptoms can also include inflammation. Ignoring these symptoms or exacerbating them by scratching will only worsen the problem. While the basic root cause for eczema has not been identified to this day, genetics is suspected to play some role in it.

There is quite a few types of eczema, a couple of the main suspects are:

Seborrhoeic Eczema

Atopic Eczema

Allergic Contact Dermatitis

Here are some quick tips you can try at home:

Eat food that is rich in fiber. This helps in water retention in the body. Fruits, vegetables, whole grain, sprouts, wheat bran etc are good examples of fibrous foods. Avoid foods that are acidic in nature. Acidic food helps recurrence of eczema.

When dealing with eczema it is important to work moisturizing into your daily routine. You will need to moisturize your skin at least twice a day. Dry skin is naturally itchy and will cause your eczema to become irritated. Before using moisturizer check the ingredients and make sure there are no added chemicals or alcohol.

Camphor and sandal powder paste is also a good home remedy for eczema. Take Equal amount of both mix them and make paste. Apply this paste on infected area twice a day for one week.

Such home remedies, such as vitamin E and extra virgin olive oil work excellent in treating eczema. They help to bring back moisture in the skin, reliving you of the dry, cracked (and sometimes bleeding) skin that comes with eczema. They are also effective in soothing eczema, which helps the constant itching that is associated with the skin disease. I highly recommend these two home remedies, but these are not the only ones out there, as there are many more that can help you heal your eczema.

Green tea is one of the best home remedies for eczema which helps to cool the skin naturally. You can enjoy this drink by mixing it in water and consume around 10 cups a day for quick results.

For instance you can reduce itchiness and raw flakiness of your skin by using oat meal because oatmeal is rich in vitamin A.  Vitamin A is good for your skin and soaking your skin in it for 30 minutes will help to improve your skin condition.

Home remedies for eczema are the only efficient way to start treating children. You can't give them hormonal treatment, and you can't just let them be, because you risk infections and then you will have to use other dangerous drugs for a baby, like antibiotics.

Another one of the home remedies for eczema is to use blueberry extract. Blueberry extract is in a few type of lotions. This remedy will help you with inflammation. And it will help you keep your skin from itching. You can get this remedy from your local store. Be sure to apply some of this to your skin every day.
