Stay hydrated While it’s crucial that everyone stays hydrated, it’s especially important for those with eczema. Drinking plenty of water can help keep your body at a lower temperature and will therefore reduce sweating, which can irritate the skin and lead to a flare up.
Other tips for staying cool include staying in the shade when outdoors or using a fan when in warm areas inside. Wear breathable clothing Just how drinking lots of water can help prevent sweating, opting for breathable clothing can help people with eczema cope better with hot temperatures. Loose cotton shirts are a great way to go and besides being practical are a stylish addition to anyone’s wardrobe.
However, if you do find yourself sweating in your clothes, simply swap what you’re wearing for a fresh outfit as soon as possible to keep your skin remaining dry.
