Natural
Colloidal Oatmeal Baths
for Eczema
Finely ground oats dispersed in bathwater soothe itch and inflammation. One of the best-tolerated and safest topical treatments, including for infants.
How it works
Avenanthramides in oats inhibit NF-ĪŗB and reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Forms a protective film on the skin that reduces trans-epidermal water loss.
What to watch for
Use lukewarm (not hot) water ā heat aggravates inflammation. Pat skin dry gently and apply emollient immediately after the bath. Oat allergy is rare but possible.
