When eczema is chronic and recurrent, flare-ups can be reduced through daily care and proper management. It is recommended to start by moisturizing the skin, avoiding irritants, and using medication as prescribed to gradually improve the condition.
1. Keep your skin moisturized: Eczema-affected skin is prone to dryness. Apply a gentle moisturizer several times a day, especially after showering, to help repair the skin barrier.
2. Avoid irritants: Choose loose-fitting cotton clothing to reduce friction; avoid excessively hot water when bathing and use less irritating bath products; be aware of and avoid factors that may aggravate symptoms in daily life, such as certain foods and dust.
3. Use medication rationally: Use ointments under the guidance of a doctor. Do not stop medication immediately after symptoms are relieved. Gradually reduce the dosage as prescribed by the doctor to consolidate the effect and prevent rapid recurrence.
4. Maintain stable lifestyle habits: regular sleep schedule, appropriate exercise, and manage emotional stress, as fatigue and tension may also trigger or aggravate eczema.
If eczema recurs frequently, please record your usual care details and flare-ups, consult your doctor promptly, and adjust your care and medication plan according to your individual situation. Long-term, patient maintenance is the best way to control symptoms.
