Eczema Friendly Clothing

Eczema is a common skin condition that causes dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. It can be triggered by a variety of factors, including clothing.

We were staggered to learn recently that 20% of all babies born in the UK have eczema according to the National Eczema Society. If your baby has eczema, it's important to choose clothing that is soft, breathable, and free of irritants. Here are some of the best clothing materials for babies with eczema:

• Cotton: Cotton is a natural fiber that is soft, absorbent, and breathable. It is a good choice for babies with eczema because it is less likely to irritate the skin.
• Bamboo: Bamboo is another natural fiber that is soft, absorbent, and breathable. It is also hypoallergenic, making it a good choice for babies with eczema.
• Lyocell/TENCEL: Lyocell/TENCEL is a man-made fiber that is made from wood pulp. It is soft, absorbent, and breathable. It is also hypoallergenic and has anti-microbial properties, making it a good choice for babies with eczema.
• Silk: Silk is a natural fiber that is soft, smooth, and breathable. It is also hypoallergenic, making it a good choice for babies with eczema.

Avoid:

• Wool: Wool is a natural fiber that can irritate the skin.
• Polyester: Polyester is a synthetic fiber that can irritate the skin.
• Nylon: Nylon is a synthetic fiber that can irritate the skin.

Additional tips:

• Wash all new clothes before wearing them.
• Avoid using harsh detergents and fabric softeners.
• Rinse clothes thoroughly to remove any residue.
• Dry clothes on low heat or line dry.
• Avoid using scratchy fabrics, such as denim or corduroy.
• Choose loose-fitting clothing that allows the skin to breathe.
