Dry skin, itching rashes, redness, rough or scaly patches of skin – most eczema sufferers have to contend with one or more of these symptoms. Eczema (atopic eczema, atopic dermatitis, neurodermatitis) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that usually cycles through flares and periods of remission. There are different factors that can exacerbate acute episodes: Diet and food allergies (wheat, cow milk) can play a role, as well as stress and external triggers like allergens and irritants.
Eczema treatments: What to look out for
During acute eczema flares, it is most important to soothe itchy skin and break the vicious itch-scratch cycle. However, a reliable, eczema-friendly skincare routine is also essential in the periods between flare-ups.
Best eczema products to relieve itch
Eczema skin care has two main goals: Soothe severe itching and strengthen eczema-prone, sensitive skin in the long term. To achieve that, many eczema creams, lotions and ointments rely on original Dead Sea salt, as it is very gentle on the skin, relieves itchiness and promotes healing.

Complementary treatment
Treatment of severe eczema focuses on two main goals: Alleviate acute symptoms and prolong periods of remission. What really counts, is finding a way to tailor the treatment to every patient’s needs, since unfortunately, there is no universal solution that works for everyone. Each individual has to find out what works for them and what doesn’t – ideally with the help of a dermatologist. One of the most important factors in managing eczema is the careful avoidance of triggers. Those include psychological stress and allergic reactions to foods and environmental allergens. A good skincare routine with special eczema creams and lotions can help to strengthen the skin’s immune system, reduce inflammation and control both the itching and constant scratching. Immunotherapy can also be an effective treatment for people with atopic dermatitis, as well as UV light therapy and anti-inflammatory medications and ointments.
