4. Probiotics
Research has shown that probiotics may help prevent eczema in infants and decrease the severity of flares. Mothers who take probiotics during pregnancy may help prevent eczema from developing in their children. Take a high-quality probiotic during a flare to promote healing.
3. Vitamin E
Vitamin E can help speed healing and reduce inflammation during an eczema flare. Add more Vitamin E foods to your diet such as almonds, spinach, mustard greens, kale, avocado and papaya, or apply Vitamin E topically to help relieve itching and protect against scarring.
2. Witch Hazel
Applying witch hazel on an eczema rash can help promote healing thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. During an outbreak, use an alcohol-free witch hazel to dab on your rash.
1. Itch Cream
Itching is often one of the worst parts of an eczema flare. Try using a natural, homemade eczema cream to help soothe itching and irritation. Use shea butter, coconut oil, raw honey and essential oils to provide relief.
