A member asked:

What would be one of the best laundry detergents for eczema?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dye/fragrance free: It is best to use detergents that are dye and fragrance free as these often irritate eczema and other skin conditions. Also avoid fabric softeners, especially dryer strips as they can also aggravate eczema.
