9 Home Remedies for Treating Eczema

Eczema, which affects about 35 million adults living in the United States, is a chronic allergic condition in which the skin develops extremely itchy, scaly rashes and most commonly occurs on the face, scalp, inside of elbows, knees, ankles and hands.

Thankfully, with some lifestyle changes and home remedies, the symptoms for eczema can be treated and managed. For a quick remedy, apply coconut oil directly onto affected area. You can also use aloe vera, chamomile tea, cucumbers and a spray made out of sea salt, distilled water and magnesium flakes.

Don't forget to also eat a probiotics-rich diet, shower with mild soaps, and wear loose, comfortable clothing made out of cotton, silk or bamboo fabric.
