Natural solutions for eczema on the face?
Posted by: Alan in eczema treatment, tags: Eczema, Face, Natural, solutions
I have eczema that is currently flairing up on my face and I am 20 weeks pregnant. Are there any natural products that I can safely use while pregnant to handle the eczema?

The eczema cream and spray from http://www.champori.com is herbal (free of steroids and allergens) and worked better than anything else on my eczema. Try it (it comes with money back guarantee so there is nothing to lose)
Best,

Hi,
Local steroid creams are the main treatment for the itching in eczema. Use the steroid cream as prescribed by the doctor. After the rash settles down, use it at least once daily for another 2 weeks. It can be used whenever the itching or rash develops.
Good hydration of the skin followed by a lubricating cream is the main way to prevent flare-ups of eczema. Water-soaked skin is much less itchy. The eczematous skin is very sensitive to soaps, therefore avoid soaps as much as possible, especially during flare-ups. Alternatively, use a mild, moisturizing soap.
The skin is generally dry in eczema. After a good bath, the skin feels good due to hydration. The moisture in the skin can be retained by applying a layer of lubricating cream to the entire skin while it is damp. Apply it daily after the steroid cream has been applied to the itchy areas. Avoid applying any ointments or petroleum jelly because they block the sweat glands, increase the itching, and worsen the rash, especially in warm weather. Also, soap is needed to wash them off, which can aggravate the problem.
Keep the fingernails cut short as the scratching with nails will perpetuate the vicious cycle of itching. Frequent hand washing will avoid any super-infection of the eczema.
Enjoy Life

I agree with the Aloe Vera. You can buy it in gel form and I’ve known it to work wonders. The best thing about it is that it’s completely natural. Think twice before applying cortisone based ointments on your body. Pregnant women often get very dry skin, so try and keep the area supple with lots of moisture.
good luck

Borage Oil. Go to your local drugstore and purchase Borage Oil capsules. Peirce the capsule with a needle and apply the oil to your face. Also, take the borage oil capsules daily. Dietary supplementation of borage oil for patients with skin disorders can result in direct improvement in their condition of the skin. Borage oil has the same positive effects when applied topically to your skin on clearing up various skin disorders.
This is so simple and inexpensive. Give it a try, it should really help your eczema.

This cleared up my son’s Eczema:
-Eucerin Daily Replenishing Lotion (the one that has Helianthus Annuus(Sunflower) Seed Oil listed as the second ingredient.)
-COCONUT OIL. straight. I get it at Wild Oats. It works amazingly well. It solidifies at room temperature, but melts into the skin when you apply it.
