What works

So for a break from the complaints and rants here are some things that I know help ease the eczema pain, at least for me.

1. Aquaphor (no substitutes, any other lotion by Eucerin doesn't work and petroleum jelly starts to burn after using it too long)

2. Remain calm, stress aggravates everything (unfortunately, this one is impossible at times)

3. Wet Pajamas

4. Wear sunscreen when out in the sun

5. Avoid Tomatoes and all tomato products (delicious marinara sends my skin into a tailspin)

6. Avoid Cow's Milk (took me too long to realize a rash came on soon after a bowl of cereal)

I just thought of these things I KNOW to be true for me but I'll edit/add more as I think of things.
