Avoid stress. Stress can increase the intensity of eczema flare-ups. While it is true that eczema itself can stress you out, try not to let it. Practice relaxation methods like yoga, medication, and deep breathing exercises. Staying calm is your best defense when it comes to successfully battling your eczema.
Trim and clean your fingernails. Most likely you know better than to scratch, but you may unknowingly engage in scratching while you sleep. This can worsen a rash, and long or sharp nails can cause damage to your skin. Clean your nails also.
