Start with your skin barrier, because it is your front line of comfort. Eczema-prone skin needs moisture and minimal irritation. Short, lukewarm baths or showers are usually more soothing than long, hot ones, and a mild, fragrance-free cleanser can help you avoid the tight, squeaky feeling that signals over-cleansed skin. Right after bathing, gently pat dry and apply a rich, bland moisturizer to seal in hydration. Many people like creams or ointments with ceramides, glycerin, or petrolatum because they sit on the skin and help reduce water loss. If your routine includes active treatments from a clinician, apply them as directed, then use your moisturizer to comfort the area. Keep textures soft and pressure light, because rubbing can invite more itch.
