Many people underestimate the importance of a good diet. It has been scientifically proven that acidic foods can be very bad for your eczema. Since the average diet generally contains a large amount of acidic ingredients, it is therefore recommended to introduce more alkaline based food such as: broccoli, spinach, cabbage, grapefruit and fresh coconut. The alternative if you do not want to change your diet is to take a kelp substitute.  Kelp will neutralize some of the acid due to it being very high in alkali.

Take care in what you wear. Minor irritation can cause long term problems. Throw out anything that irritates you and replace it with the softest 100% cotton that you can find. Don't forget that bedding and towels can also cause irritation, along with the detergents that you use on them.

Vitamin E is very good when applied directly onto infected areas of skin. Its largest benefit is that it reduces the itching and discomfort that you feel in the worst infected areas. It works by neutralizing  the microbes that are thought to cause the itching. Be careful when buying Vitamin E as the natural version is a lot more efficient than the synthetic kind. As with any treatment you need to be patient, some people will see an instant result where others will have to wait weeks to see any difference with their eczema issues.

Moisturise. The key to moisturising is to set yourself a regime and stick to it. It is highly recommended to moisturise at least twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. To get the most benefit from moisturising it is best to apply the moisturiser after you bath or shower.  Do not dry yourself fully your skin still needs to be damp when the moisturiser is applied, that way the extra moisture is locked into your skin. Always look for an unscented moisturiser as any scenting agents may cause irritation.
