How is eczema treated, and what are the best remedies for managing flare-ups? - #14776
I’ve been dealing with eczema for years, and it tends to flare up whenever the weather changes or my skin gets irritated. I’m not sure what treatments work best, and I want to know if there are natural remedies that can help manage the condition. What exactly is eczema, and what causes flare-ups? I know it’s related to an overactive immune response, but what triggers eczema—can certain foods, allergens, or stress contribute to it? How does eczema affect the skin, and why does it cause itching, redness, and dryness? I also want to understand how eczema can be treated. Are corticosteroid creams the best option, or are there gentler natural remedies like coconut oil, aloe vera, or oatmeal baths that can help soothe the skin? What role does diet play in managing eczema, and are there specific foods to avoid or incorporate for better skin health? If anyone has managed eczema, what treatments or home remedies worked best for you? Did you find relief with medications, or did lifestyle changes and natural remedies help more?
