Reduce Night Itching and Sleeplessness Caused by Eczema Dermatitis


"Why does the itch get worse at night?" ๐Ÿ˜ขโ 

"How can I control the night time itch?" ๐Ÿ›Œ๐Ÿฝโ 

โ 

These are common questions that I hear from my patients and clients who have eczema.โ  Losing sleep sucks and itching is uncomfortable, even painful and can cause anxiety. There are steps to take to reduce the itch.

โ 



Why >> โ 

๐ŸŒ™Our bodies release more histamine at night. Histamines make us more itchy. โ 

โ 

Wearing clothing that can irritate and dry out the skin, sweating, daily exposure to environmental pollutants, bedroom temperature ๐ŸŒก๏ธ and humidity levels can all increase itch.โ 

โ 

How to Control It>>โ 

โ 

๐ŸŒฟTaking the natural non-drowsy antihistamine daily called quercetin ascorbate can be very helpful to control night time itching.

โ 

๐Ÿ›€๐ŸปShower and apply ceramide cream before bed. A short 5 minute shower will wash off environmental pollutants and sweat. It also moisturizes skin which will be sealed in by your favorite ceramide cream. Be sure to apply the cream within 10 minutes of your shower.โ 

โ 

๐Ÿ‘•Wear light weight cotton pajamas or eczema clothing so as to avoid skin irritation and sweating. Don't put kids on footie PJs because they can overheat and get itchy. โ 

โ 

๐Ÿ›Œ๐ŸฝUse high thread count cotton sheets and change bedding weekly to reduce irritation and dust mites. Cover the mattress in an allergy and dust mite protector.โ 

โ 

๐Ÿ’จBedroom temperature should be at about 65 Degrees and humidity at around 30-50%. If the environment is dry like in winter time use a cool humidifier in the room. For very humid environment use a dehumidifier. โ
