Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is common and often gets worse in winter, dry weather, or when you’re sick. Frequent handwashing can make it worse. Daily moisturizers are the best way to prevent flares, and a few extra steps can really help.
Vinegar Soaks (to heal skin)
Vinegar soaks are simple and effective for many skin problems. They work amazing for cuts, sores, scabs, open wounds, or minor skin infections—helping keep the skin clean and speeding up healing.
Dry Hands (Hand Dermatitis)
Dry hands are common, especially with frequent washing and sanitizer use since COVID. The right over-the-counter products can make a big difference.
Stasis dermatitis
Stasis dermatitis (venous eczema) is common in older adults. It causes dry, itchy skin on the shins, ankles, and tops of the feet. Weak leg veins and swelling stretch the skin, leading to eczema. Treatment focuses on compression, leg elevation, moisturizing, and topical medications.
Bleach baths (for eczema)
Bleach baths can help with eczema, itchiness, and healing minor cuts, sores, or superficial skin infections. Always moisturize thoroughly afterward.
Lip Licker's Eczema (Dermatitis)
Eczema from lip licking is very common, especially in kids. Saliva dries out lips and irritates the skin, causing redness and flakes. Over-the-counter care and willpower can fix it.
