Home Remedies I Tried to my kids with Eczema
My children have Eczema since they were just babies. They have been suffering for too long and i want to help them reduce or at least ease the pain and itchiness they felt everytime Eczema triggers. And as much as possible i don't want eczema to be part of their lives anymore.
So i always thought of home remedies that i could try for them. I have also ask some mommies like me of what home or natural remedies they have tried for their kids who also suffered with Eczema. And i also did my research online.
I know it is not an easy fix, for up to know i have not found ways to really cure Eczema, But i have tried some home remedies that help manage and control the symptoms and prevent the flares.
Here are some of the Home Remedies that i tried that give my children's skin some relief from eczema:
- Bleach Bath
And according to Mayo Clinic, Bleach Bath can kill bacteria on the skin, reducing itching, redness and scaling. And if it is properly diluted in water, it is safe to use in children.
I just add 1/4 cup of bleach to a 40 gallon of bathtub filled with warm water, soaked them from neck down for about 5-10 minutes and rinse them thoroughly afterwards. Moisturized immediately after drying.
Take a bleach bath no more than 3 times a week, but i only did once a week in my kids. Because i'm a bit scared that it makes their skin over dry.
Note: Talk to your doctor before trying a Bleach Bath

- Baking Soda Bath
I just add a bit of a baking soda around 1/4 to 1/2 cup and add to bathtub filled with warm water, it really help soothes their itchy skin, and makes the skin smooth.
- Coconut Oil
I apply just a thin layer of coconut oil to my children's skin (affected area only) once a day or more often if necessary. You can use it like any other lotion or moisturizer.
Note: It cannot cure Eczema but it can soothe and moisturize the skin and can reduce dryness and itching.
- Moisturizers
I used Vaseline Petroleum Jelly mainly on their faces and elbows, it won't totally healed the condition of the skin but it is helpful as it protects, soothes and repairs the dry and cracked skin and Glaxal Base Moisturizing Cream for their body, it is hypoallergenic, perfume-free, lanolin-free, and non-greasy. I moisturize their skin as often as needed.
- Changing Laundry Detergent
I used Purex Detergent for my children's clothes, it is a mild detergent, hypoallergenic, free of dyes and formulated for sensitive skin. I skip or don't use the fabric softener and dryer sheets, and always do second rinse.
All of those home remedies are typically safe but always use with caution, some people react differently.
Its always a good idea to talk your doctor before trying any new home remedies that you find. Just to be safe!
I tried all of those home remedies, all of them helps but then again eczema still exist.
Learning what triggers my children's Eczema and what causes their symptoms to flare up is one of the most important step on helping them living with the condition. My children live with eczema so it is very important for us to avoid anything that may irritate and dry their skin and cause a flare.
We will try and do anything that might help them so that they will outgrew and have a normal and healthy skin for the rest of their lives.
