| 584681 | 2008-09-18 20:15:00 | They say using soap is quite bad for eczema because it dries out the skin. As well as certain laundry powders as well as other cleaning products (my mother used to react to Palmolive dishwash, as well as some laundry powders, but not Drive quite a few years back). I also reacted to some soaps, but ones like unscented Dove were fine. I used top react to scented deodarants as well, though maybe Ive grown out of it because I can now use scented Mitchum (which is hypo-allergenic anyway). I don't dare try others like Lynx etc just yet, I know how bad I flared last time (~10 years ago) |

| 584683 | 2008-09-21 01:02:00 | They say using soap is quite bad for eczema because it dries out the skin. It depends on what soap, really. Eczema arises due to excessive drying of the skin (compare with "athlete's foot, which results from excessive moisture). Some (most?) soap contributes a drying effect to the skin, thus worsens the condition. I am using vegetable oil-based soap in these days. Generally speaking, sticking to Oilatum or Dove should be fine. As well as certain laundry powders as well as other cleaning products (my mother used to react to Palmolive dishwash, as well as some laundry powders, but not Drive quite a few years back). Based on my reasoning, laundry powder can contribute a detrimental effect to eczema. Laundy powder (and soap) works by contributing attraction force between the water and the non-polar dirt so that grimes can be removed when you shower. However, the term "non-polar" also applies to the oily layer that covers your skin, which has a role in keeping the moisture intact. Therefore, taking away the sebaceous layer of the skin will allow the drying of the skin. Wearing a glove while doing the laundry should do the trick :) I used top react to scented deodarants as well, though maybe Ive grown out of it because I can now use scented Mitchum (which is hypo-allergenic anyway). I don't dare try others like Lynx etc just yet, I know how bad I flared last time (~10 years ago) Lynx, Nivea and MUMS (:wub ) are fine on my skin. Then again, it might be idiosyncratic to individuals. Cheers :) |
