Seven Simple Tips to Avoid Eczema this Spring
Spring is in the air! A lot of people really love Spring and it is the favourite season for many. However, Spring can be a challenging time for some, because Spring signals the start of pollen sensitivity as well as warmer weather – both known triggers for eczema.
Some other known triggers for eczema include:
- Dry skin
- Scratching
- Viral or bacterial infections
- Chlorine
- Sitting directly on carpets or grass
- Food intolerances
- Irritants such as perfumes, soap, chemicals, woollen or synthetic fabrics
- Air conditioning and temperature changes (such as heat) or overly heated rooms
- Stress
According to the Australian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy, the skin barrier in eczema sufferers does not work as well due to the skin having a lesser ability to retain water, thereby easily losing moisture and leading to drying of the skin. When the skin barrier is damaged, moisture evaporates making the skin more susceptible to allergens and irritants. This irritation can trigger the skin to release certain chemicals that make the skin itchy. Scratching releases more chemicals making the skin feel even itchier and so the cycle continues.
To help you gain control of eczema this Spring, we suggest:
- Hydrate – drink plenty of water to help keep the skin hydrated.
- Stay cool – try to prevent sweating which can aggravate eczema. Avoid being outside during the hottest part of the day by organizing outdoor activities early in the morning or later in the afternoon. Avoid hot showers.
- Wear loose cotton clothing – cotton breathes better than other fabrics, will help to prevent sweating and is less likely to irritate the skin.
- Swim in sea or salt water – in preference to chlorinated pools. If this is not possible, rinse off chlorinated water as soon as possible, pat dry and moisturise.
- Avoid soap – use a non-soap based bodywash or gentle cleanser instead. This will help replace the oil content of the skin. Soap and foaming products can damage and dry out the skin.
- Moisturise – with a product formulated for the relief of mild eczema as frequently as possible (two-three times per day) and always after a shower or bath.
- Avoid known triggers and irritants.
