Many Eczema sufferers are surprised to find that after visiting countless specialists and dermatologists, the most effective cures are the simple ones that they can administer in the comfort of their own home-stay tuned to find out some of the most effective home cures.

As mentioned above, you want to avoid any harsh skin care for baby. The following natural skin wash is very gently and helps with the itch. Combine 1 tsp of comfrey root, 1 tsp of white oak bark, 1 tsp of slippery elm bark and two cups of water in a bowl. Mix well, and then pour it into a pot. Heat over medium heat until it comes to a boil, and then simmer for thirty minutes. Allow the mixture to cool, then strain out the solids and use the liquid like any face wash.

Ensuring your skin is constantly moisturized with a gentle and nonirritating moisturizer is essential. Avoidance of extreme fluctuations of weather and humidity can help ward off flare ups. Trying to keep your life low stress is also helpful. Certain ingredients in detergents and soaps can worsen the symptoms so be sure to avoid any triggers you find.

First of all being healthy and continuously taking vitamins can help you stay away from eczema as much as possible. You must be aware that getting your immune system in tact is the way to defend yourself from illness. Make sure to eat and stay away from unhealthy habits that decrease your immune system by taking essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin C and iron.

Harsh Cleaning Products - Harsh cleaning products also have the potential of triggering eczema flare-ups. Whether they come in direct contact with the skin or are inhaled (my toddler only has to smell cleaning supplies in the home and it will cause her eyes to water and burn, immediately followed by itchy and flared skin), they too can cause adverse reactions in the eczema sufferer.

Definitely avoid propylene glycol, sodium hydroxide and sodium lauryl sulfate found in many toothpastes, shampoos, soaps and other toiletries. Propylene glycol is even found in foods such as donuts, pies and cakes. The use of natural products will help but you should still read the labels as they will sometimes have these chemicals (not very good natural products). Avoid using perfumes, deodorants and cosmetics that are not natural. The chemicals in these may also trigger a reaction.

To prevent your skin from drying out have a shower or bath less frequently. Bathe in lukewarm water and do not use perfume products, bubble baths and deodorant soaps.After showering or bathing pat your skin dry, do not rub. Having a oatmeal bath and using chickweed ointment can help relieve itching.
