12 Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis) Home Treatment and Remedies

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is produced from coconut meat. It is often used as a natural moisturizer. Studies from the National Eczema Association show that the antibacterial properties of coconut oil can reduce the effects of staph bacteria on the skin, and as a result prevent infection. Coconut oil is highly recommended for people with eczema because the patches of inflamed skin may fry up and crack, giving room for bacteria to penetrate the skin. It is important to choose virgin or cold-pressed coconut oil that is processed without chemicals when applying it to your skin.
