Does sun exposure make eczema worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry skin tends to worsen eczema and sun exposure can lead to dry skin. Using sunscreen would help with this issue. Keeping the skin hydrated by using moisturizing lotions and drinking plenty of fluids in addition to the specific eczema treatment helps with symptom control. See a dermatologist for specific treatments. Good luck to you!
