Nutritional measures
Dietary changes and supplements can help lessen the symptoms of eczema. It is vital to avoid foods that trigger allergies such as wheat, dairy and peanuts.
The foods that cause inflammation must be avoided such as refined foods, meats and sugar as well. Fish oil supplements are also beneficial as well as vitamin C and flavonoid supplements such as quercetin or catechin. A doctor should be consulted on suggestions on how to include dietary changes and supplements to the treatment for nummular eczema.
Bleach bath
The itchiness linked with nummular eczema and other variants can trigger the urge to scratch. This increases the risk for infection due to the presence of microorganism on the skin surface.
It is recommended to prepare a bath using diluted bleach solution to lower the risk for infection among those with nummular eczema. The bath can be repeated 2 or 3 times in a week or as instructed by the doctor.
