Keep your showers short and lukewarm, and moisturize promptly after with a cream containing ceramides
Steroids, self-injections and medications can be game changers
Choose cream for your body and lotion for your face, and skip the fragrances and botanicals
Options range from allergic reactions and head lice to chronic conditions and fungal infections
Changing your wardrobe or environment won’t eliminate eczema, but it can help reduce flares
Keeping their skin moisturized — and scratching at bay — is half the battle
