Snapshot of a Day in the Life of an Eczema Patient
An eczema patient begins his or her day by taking a quick bath or shower in warm or lukewarm water. She uses a gentle soap or cleanser such as Dove or Neutrogena in the shower or perhaps a non-soap cleanser such as Cetaphil. If she is suffering an eczema flare-up then she might decide to wash her body with sorbolene cream or just plain water. She is gentle with her skin, never tugging or pulling it and she pats it as she cleans herself, never rubs sore, sensitive patches of skin. Sometimes she will use emollient oil in the bath, such as Oilatum Cream or Oilatum Plus, Aqueous Cream (UEA), Epaderm or White Soft Paraffin.
