Eczema - how often should you moisturise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry Skin Care: 1. Use a mild soap--dove 2. Shower or bathe no more than once daily 3. Do not rub the skin with a towel--dab. 4. Apply moisturizer while your skin is still a little moist. Oils and ointments are much better than creams. Creams are much better than lotions. Lotions are better than nothing. 4. Avoid clothing that irritates the skin--i.e. Wool 5. Use a mild detergent like ivory snow or all free.

As a permanent eczema sufferer, I've long struggled to find a way to ease the itching despite treatments for dry skin. Even if I constantly moisturise, there is still no way to know when and why an itch or rash will emerge. Have you any suggestions?
