Tips And Tricks For Not Scratching Eczema
It may seem impossible for someone experiencing the intense and incessant
itch of eczema not to scratch and rub the infected area. But, the fact is,
it is possible. Figuring out how to stop thinking about scratching eczema?
Read on.
When your eczema suddenly flares up, fight your urge to scratch and think
that it could only make your eczema worse. You could also try to occupy
yourself with something else that can distract you and make you forget
about scratching. Better yet, occupy your hands with things (could be game
consoles, mobile phones, etc.) so you can’t use them for scratching.
Also an effective way to help you avoid scratching is by cutting your
fingernails as short as they can go. Wearing gloves could also be of great
help. This covers your nails perfectly so you will not have a chance of
scratching your skin.
Another tip on how to stop thinking about scratching eczema is by keeping
the infected areas covered. For example, if your eczema is on your elbow,
wear long sleeved clothes to cover them. This way, the infected area will
be more difficult to scratch.
Applying moisturizing lotions or emollients liberally on the infected part
can also help reduce itchiness. This means less urge for you to scratch
your eczema.
Reward yourself for every successful attempt to fight your urge to scratch.
This will motivate you to do this often until it becomes your every day
practice.
