Dr. Cindy Wassef was interviewed by GoodHousekeeping.com for their article on treating eczema. A remedy Dr. Wassef recommends for very mild cases is luke warm showers with unscented soap and moisturizing twice a day. One product she recommends is Vaseline Pure Petroleum Jelly since it can be used as a moisturizer. It keeps moisture in the skin while providing a barrier to cold and other elements. |
