Eczema can seriously affect your comfort, causing itchy, dry skin, rashes, and even infections if not properly managed. It’s a type of dermatitis, a condition characterized by skin inflammation.
The most common form is atopic dermatitis, often linked to allergies such as asthma or hay fever.
The good news is, eczema isn’t contagious and can be controlled. However, it requires a combination of effective treatment, daily skincare, and avoidance of known triggers.
Treating Eczema
Eczema care isn’t one-size-fits-all. Doctors tailor treatment based on the type of eczema, its severity, and your overall health. Typically, eczema management involves:
1. Hydration & Daily Moisturizing
Eczema-prone skin is typically dry and prone to fragility. That’s why moisturizing is the most crucial step. Choose products that are fragrance-free and free from harsh chemicals.
Try wund+™ Regeneration Cream, a moisturizer with active ingredients that help calm inflammation and promote skin regeneration. It’s safe for long-term use and suitable for sensitive skin.
2. Use Topical Anti-Inflammatories
When flare-ups occur, such as redness, itchy rashes, or inflamed skin, topical anti-inflammatory treatments may be necessary. These include corticosteroids or non-steroidal creams, such as pimecrolimus and tacrolimus.
For mild inflammation without the side effects of steroids, you can try wund+™ Wound Spray, which contains hypochlorous acid. It’s safe, effective, and helps prevent infection on broken or irritated skin.
3. Fade Scars and Dark Spots
Constant scratching can lead to scarring or the development of dark patches.
To help with this, wund+™ Scar Gel contains Centella reversa stem cells to reduce scarring, improve skin texture, and even out skin tone.
What to Avoid
- Scratching eczema-prone areas.
- Sharing skincare products or moisturizers.
- Dipping fingers directly into cream containers.
- Using soaps or creams with alcohol or added fragrance.
- Changing your diet without medical advice.
- Smoking or being near open flames while wearing emollients—these products can make fabric more flammable.
Preventing Eczema Flare-Ups
Prevention is just as important as treatment. Here’s a daily routine to help reduce the risk of flare-ups:
- Moisturize at least twice a day.
Use products like wund+™ Regeneration Cream after showering and before bed. - Take short, warm showers—no more than 10 minutes. Avoid hot water. Use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers.
- Pat your skin dry, but avoid rubbing.
Apply moisturizer while skin is still slightly damp to lock in hydration. - Identify your triggers.
These could include hot weather, stress, certain soaps, or foods. Try to keep a journal and avoid known triggers. - If the skin is wounded or shows signs of infection, clean the area and use wund+™ Wound Spray to prevent it from worsening.
- To reduce the appearance of scars, apply wund+™ Scar Gel regularly to restore your skin’s appearance.
Eczema may come and go, but with proper care and consistency, you can maintain comfort and confidence. The wund+™ range is your all-in-one solution—from daily skin care to infection prevention and scar management.
If you or a loved one is struggling with eczema and unsure where to start, speak with a doctor and consider making the wund+™ routine part of your everyday skin care.
