    1. How to Live Better With Eczema

      1. How to Live Better With Eczema

        When you have a flare-up of eczema, you feel like you’d do anything to calm down or prevent your rashes.

      2. Self-Care for Eczema

        Many over-the-counter treatments offer relief from mild eczema, and may ease irritation, redness, itchiness, or rash.

    2. Beauty & Skin Care

      1. Cosmetics and Eczema: What to Choose

        You may already know that some cosmetics irritate your skin with eczema. That doesn’t mean you have to give up on makeup.

    3. Diet & Exercise

      1. Diet and Eczema

        There’s no evidence that specific foods cause eczema or make symptoms flare. But some people say their symptoms get worse after they eat a particular food.

      2. Best Exercises When You Have Atopic Dermatitis

        When you have atopic dermatitis and work out, sweat and a change in body temperature can trigger a flare-up. 

      3. Tips for Exercising When You Have Eczema

        Exercise can make your heart stronger, boost your mood, and -- if you have eczema -- leave your skin red and itchy.

      4. Eczema and Alcohol: What You Should Know

        How do you know if alcohol may affect your body and skin? Here’s what to consider before sipping your next drink.

    4. Your Environment

      1. Eczema and the Weather

        Weather can be tough on anyone’s skin, especially if you have eczema. But which weather is worst?

      2. Eczema and Your Job

        Eczema can affect many areas of your life, including your job, especially if the rash is severe or appears on your hands.

      3. Sleep Tips for Severe Eczema

        Any type of eczema can disrupt your sleep. The more severe your eczema, the more likely it is to cause sleep problems.

      4. How Pets Can Affect Your Eczema

        Some people with eczema can live in a house full of pets with no problems. Others can’t bear any animal contact.

    5. Mental & Emotional Health

      1. Eczema and Stress: 7 Ways to Get Relief

        Experts have known for years that stress can make the skin condition worse.

      2. Stress Counseling for Eczema

        Studies have shown that stress is a major factor in eczema. It can affect your immune system and skin barrier function.

      3. Atopic Dermatitis: Sex and Intimacy

        Atopic dermatitis causes pain and discomfort, which can leave you not-in-the-mood for sex. Other factors at play, too.
