Dealing With Eczema

Dealing With Eczema There's good news if you have eczema - usually eczema will go away before the age of 25. Until it clears up, you'll have to deal with it, even though at best it's annoying and at worst it can make you want to stay in your room and hide.
If you have eczema and can't wear certain types of makeup, find brands that are free of fragrances and dyes. Your dermatologist may be able to recommend some brands that will help keep you looking great and are less likely to irritate your skin.
Your self-esteem doesn't have to suffer just because you have eczema, and neither does your social life! Getting involved in your school and extracurricular activities can be a great way to get your mind off the itch. If certain activities will aggravate your eczema, such as swimming in a heavily chlorinated pool, suggest activities to your friends that won't harm your skin.
Even if sweat tends to aggravate your skin, it's still a good idea to exercise. Exercise is a great way to blow off stress - just try walking, bike riding, or another sport that keeps your skin cool and dry while you work out.
