I have had sensitive skin for as long as I can remember. Mama even had to use cloth diapers on me as a baby because the disposables broke me out. I had to be aware of what detergents, soaps and perfumes I used. In my early 20's when I had my first child my skin went bonkers. Right after getting home from the hospital with my bundle of joy I noticed my hands were itching like crazy. It got so bad that my fingers were red, cracked, bleeding and swollen to where I couldn't bend a couple of them at all. When I finally got in to see a dermatologist she took one look at my hands and said she had never seen a case of atopic dermatitis so bad and photographed my hands. What is atopic dermatitis? Atopic Dermatitis is the most common form of eczema. Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by dry, itchy skin and visible skin rash that affects about 35 million Americans. When you think eczema relief do you think NEOSPORIN® ESSENTIALS™? I didn't either until I learned that they now have eczema relief products.

The winter weather is when my eczema is at its worst. I get the little clear looking bumps that itch really bad but the more the itch and more I scratch makes the bumps pop open which then makes my skin crack open and hurt. It's a vicious cycle that I can usually only get relief from with prescription medicines that cost a lot. Cold and dry weather outside and forced hot air inside can put the skin at high risk for flare ups. How can you ease the itch of eczema?

Tips to manage eczema during the winter

• Keep the skin warm and protected when outside
• Try a thick, protective moisturizer on the exposed skin to prevent windburn
• Consider talking to your doctor about supplementing vitamin D during the winter months as many people are deficient and this may play a role in eczema
• Consider getting a humidifier for bedrooms to help add moisture to the dry air
• Continue your regular skincare routine with regular bathing and moisturizing, as well as using topical medications when needed

I am happy to hear that there are eczema products that can be bought over the counter without a prescription. When you think Neosporin you can think more than just the stuff you put on cuts to help it heal faster.
