Eczema can be made worse by things such as certain detergents or fabric softeners, stress, certain foods, extreme temperatures, and even certain skin-care products. If you’re using certain skin-care products, it’s important to check the ingredients to make sure they don’t contain irritants that could worsen eczema symptoms. It’s also important to try to reduce stress, as this can be a major trigger for eczema flare-ups. Additionally, avoiding certain foods, such as dairy, eggs, and nuts, can help reduce eczema flare-ups. Lastly, be sure to dress appropriately for the weather, as extreme temperatures can also make your eczema worse.
