My son has severe eczema, and he often takes oatmeal baths whenever he has a flare up. He says its the only thing that can soothe his skin and make him stop itching, at least temporarily.
One thing to remember when you're doing the whole oatmeal bath thing (that we learned the hard way) is to only use oatmeal, not an oatmeal bath soak. Those sometimes contain bath salts, which can be extremely irritating for sensitive skin.
So just bear that in mind when you do an oatmeal bath for eczema -- pure oatmeal, not a soak.

Did you know that you can also use the oatmeal bath treatment for dogs? Dogs get itchy too, and an oatmeal bath is a natural, cheap treatment to help them get to feeling better.
It's really easy to give a dog an oatmeal bath. All you do is prepare the bath like you would for yourself, but with lukewarm water -- don't make it too hot or you'll end up irritating your dog's skin further.
Then, place the dog in the bath and let it soak for a while. Every few minutes, scoop up a cupful of the oatmeal water and pour it gently over the dog, from head to tail. Talk gently to the dog while you do this and pet it to keep it from getting stressed, especially if bath time is scary for them.
After they soak for about 15 minutes, take the dog out, but don't rinse it -- just pat it dry. The oatmeal will dry onto their skin in a protective covering, just like how lotion does on human skin.
This is a great treatment for dogs with dry skin, mange, or dietary allergies -- and can help with flea itch too.

I don't know what I would do without my oatmeal bath soak. It's one of those natural remedies that is so great, because it's cheap and effective.
Whenever I get sunburned, or even if I just need a little pick me up for dry skin, I always take an oatmeal bath.
I also recommend many of my clients with eczema to take oatmeal baths -- it really is that soothing for the skin! Many dermatologists also recommend taking oatmeal bath for eczema, so you know that it's not just my odd thing.
Even if you don't feel like taking an oatmeal bath on a regular basis, you can still get some of the good effects of oatmeal for your skin by using oatmeal bath products. I always use an oatmeal bath soap in the winter just to give my skin that little extra bit of moisture.
I would definitely recommend anybody with dry skin to get some oatmeal based products ASAP -- you'll be shocked at how well it works! |
