Should I apply moisturiser after bathing if I have eczema or dermatitis?
Yes, you should apply moisturiser after bathing if you have eczema or dermatitis. Moisturising helps to lock in moisture and protect the skin barrier, which is often compromised in these conditions. Doing this regularly can help manage dryness and irritation.
Key points:
- Moisturiser helps to keep the skin hydrated.
- Bathing can strip moisture from the skin.
- Eczema and dermatitis can lead to a weakened skin barrier.
- Regular moisturising can reduce discomfort and flare-ups.
