Educate Yourself about Eczema by Talking to your Pharmacist!
Summer can be especially hard on parents! Not only do you have to constantly come up with new ideas that will hold your school-free kids’ attention, you also have to deal with issues like the eczema rashes. If you were planning a vacation, then the rash could put the kibosh on it. After all, the rash might end up in places where it can’t be covered up, such as their faces.
So what do you do? Do you resign yourself to months spent at home with grumpy, itchy children?
Not at all! You can nip eczema in the bud by following these prevention tips:
1. Get your kids to stay in during the day time as you can without having to tie them up! Time spent outside between 10 am to 2 pm is when the sun is at its most intense.
2. When they get too antsy, let them go out. But pack bottles of cold water for your kids to take with them when they go outside. Instruct them to sip from it as often as they can.
3. Ask them to find a shaded area if they will be spending a lot of time out in the sun.
4. Slather some sunscreen with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide on your kids, so they would be safe from UV exposure.
Just keep in mind that sunscreen might not suit everybody. Do talk to one of our pharmacists and they will recommend a suitable sunscreen.
5. Your kids will want to spend some time – or all day – in the pool, if one is present in the vicinity. If you can’t keep them away from it, then you will have to take preventive measures. Since all pools are chlorinated and chlorine could cause a rash, you’d need to get the kids to wash thoroughly after a swim. Hand them a gentle soap that won’t irritate their skin further.
6. Preventive measures are good but you will also need to do some post-swim skin protection. After they step out of the bath, have your kids apply moisturizer all over.
Even with all the preventive measures, one or more kids could break out in a rash. Don’t let eczema ruin their summer and yours. We advise visiting us at Delco Drugs.
