I chose not to rely on normal treatments to treat my eczema. The reason why I stopped using conventional treatments is simply they do not work in the long run and they pose dangers to my long term health. Steroids are usually used by doctors to treat eczema but it will become harmful if you use it frequently. Currently, I rely on eczema home remedies that are 100% safe.

Most of the creams in the market contain steroids or harsh chemicals. Long term use of steroid creams can cause your skin to become thin and susceptible to external conditions. I would recommend you to avoid these products and try natural remedies instead.

Natural remedies are made up of natural ingredients and they do not damage our skin. One great natural ingredient is oatmeal. Oatmeal consists 4 skin healing components, namely proteins, saponins, fats and polysaccharides.

Eczema can cause dry skin and polysaccharides can help to provide a layer of protection. This extra layer of protection on the skin can also help to prevent external allergen from your skin.

Grind the oat into powder form and mix it with water. Apply the paste on the skin at night.

Aloe vera is another excellent natural ingredient. Eczema is a form of inflammation and aloe vera can help to reduce inflammation. You can purchase it from pharmacies or get the raw form from the market.

When picking the gel form in pharmacies, take note of the ingredient list. Make sure that the first ingredient is aloe vera instead of water. Some products are produced by "fake" aloe vera, which is full of chemicals. Look for one that is made up of real aloe vera by making sure that it is the first ingredient in the ingredient list.

If you plant your own aloe vera or buy the raw form from the market, you can use the pulp on your eczema affected area.

You can also give emu oil a try. I find that emu oil can provide quick relief when eczema flares up since it has great transdermal property, which means that the oil will be easily absorb by the skin. Aloe vera or emu oil are great natural eczema remedies that you can use at home.

These methods are not enough to cure your eczema and I advice that learn more about holistic methods to cure eczema. If you truly want to get rid of your eczema permanently, you will have to make changes to your diet to achieve a permanent cure.
