Various: The right answer depends on the severity of your eczema. Remarkable improvements in eczema can be achieved by avoiding water exposure, particularly hot water or prolonged water exposure (removes protective oils), avoid scratching, avoid drying soaps, and use moisturizing lotions. When wet, pat dry rather than rub dry (again, removes the natural barriers that keep the skin healthy).
