Infections in Psoriasis and Eczema

Psoriasis and eczema might seem like a duo ready to test our patience, but when infections jump into the mix, it’s like a triple threat. These unwelcome guests can cause redness, swelling, and even oozing – not the kind of party we signed up for. But fear not, with the right treatment from Ohr Medical, we can kick them to the curb!

Topical Treatments

Say hello to topical treatments, here to save the day. Your dermatologist will prescribe creams or ointments that pack a powerful punch. These magic potions often contain steroids, antibiotics, or antifungals to combat infections and soothe your skin like a cozy blanket.

Moisturizers

Moisturizers are like a shield of hydration for your skin – a must in your arsenal. They form a protective barrier, keeping infections at bay and helping your skin stay soft and supple. Go for gentle moisturizers and apply them generously to keep your skin happy and healthy.

Bathing with Care

Embrace the art of bathing! Stick to short, lukewarm baths, as hot water can be harsh on your skin. Say no to abrasive soaps and opt for gentle cleansers instead. Remember, your skin is your first line of defense; protect that precious skin of yours!

Steer Clear of Itchy Triggers

Eczema loves to play hide-and-seek with triggers that make it itchy and irritated. It’s time to become a detective and identify those troublemakers! Common triggers include certain fabrics, allergens, or even stress. Once you’ve uncovered them, steer clear to keep eczema in check.

Team Up with Your Dermatologist

In this skin journey, your dermatologist is the wise mastermind. They’ll analyze your unique needs and design a personalized treatment plan. Keep the communication lines open, and together, you’ll conquer infections like true champions!

Prevention

Prevent means always staying one step ahead! Prevention is your best defense against infections. Follow these simple tips:

  • Keep your skin clean and dry to prevent bacteria buildup.
  • Moisturize regularly to maintain a strong skin barrier.
  • Practice good hygiene to avoid spreading infections.
  • Stay away from triggers that aggravate your psoriasis or eczema.
