Re: Dry itchy eczema around my mouth

Eczema can cause dryness and cracks on the lips and the area around the mouth. Applying an over-the-counter moisturizer (Lubriderm, Aquaphor, Eucerin and others) to the lips every day can help lock in moisture. The American Academy of Family Physicians recommends using the moisturizer within three minutes of getting out of the bath, and avoiding moisturizers that contain fragrances or other unnecessary ingredients.

Apply a pure carrier oil (like olive oil, sunflower oil, or safflower oil) to your lips and surrounding skin once the cortisone cream is absorbed (or alternate application of the cortisone with the oil). Good ol’ petroleum jelly is helpful to apply at night to prevent drying, especially if you breathe with your mouth open. I am not a big fan of petroleum jelly, but this is just short-term use until the rash resolves and the skin heals.



additionally it is essential to acknowledge the specific food sensitivities and food allergies of an individual to determine the most beneficial food for them.
Manuka Honey
Cruciferous Vegetables
Turmeric
Green Leafy Vegetables
Beets
Berries
Apples
and more natural foods.
