Eczema Clothing

The eczema clothing you select can have a huge impact on the health of your skin. As our clothes are next to our skin for a large part of the day and during the night, it is important to wear fabric that will not cause irritation. A few of the top causes for itchy skin are the man-made materials, polyester and acrylic. Polyester in particular, is the main offender due to the scratchy consistency of the fibers. This material can also cause the skin to become overheated even though the item of clothing can appear to be very light.

Natural materials can also cause eczema to flare including wools and wool blends such as Cashmere as well as leather and silk. The only eczema clothing material that you can be sure will not cause eczema to become worse or instigate a flare up, is cotton. This material is extremely eczema friendly and soft on the skin.

If you feel that your clothing causes irritation to your skin, try to wear only cotton clothes and monitor the itch levels on a daily basis. You will no doubt disover, that you skin feels more comfortable. After a few weeks, introduce other materials and keep a close eye on your skin. This way you can determine which materials cause you to feel itchy and enable you to eliminate them from your wardrobe.

Don't forget also, that the washing powder/liquid you use on your clothes is also a factor for eczema. Try to use non-biological detergents or organic versions, if you can. It is no good wearing cotton eczema clothing if you are sensitive to the detergent used to wash it.
