You may need to experiment with different emollients or try a combination. For example, you may decide to use a cream during the day and an ointment at night.

This contributes to chronic dry, itchy skin, which can cause eczema to flare-up or get worse.

If your eczema is caused by an irritant, such as the chemicals in soaps, detergents, bubble baths, and shower gels, avoiding those triggers can help reduce the risk of flare ups. Even if your current soaps or toiletries aren’t obviously the cause of your eczema, you might benefit from switching to a fragrance-free, and more moisturising emollient-based soap.

Safety advice when using emollients Fire safety Eczema is a topical skin condition often resulting in dry, red, and itchy skin. There are multiple types of eczema, and each one can affect different people at different times, with varying levels of severity. Some of the different types of eczema Your skin has a diverse community of good and bad bacteria that make up what is called its microbiome. Healthy-looking skin has a balanced microbiome and preserved skin barrier. The ecosystem of dry skin is fragile, the skin barrier can be compromised, and the microbiome is more prone to becoming out of balance.Atopic eczema is usually a long-term condition and is more common in children and infants, but it can improve significantly and even clear completely in children as they get older. Adults can also develop eczema. People with atopic eczema may experience periods where the symptoms become less noticeable, as well as flare-ups where the condition becomes more severe. Dermatitis
