What are some home remedies for eczema?

Some home remedies for eczema include using over-the-counter anti-itch medications, moisturizing twice a day, using a humidifier, and taking a diluted bleach bath two to three times a week, says Mayo Clinic. Soaking in diluted bleach helps decrease the amount of bacteria on the skin.

Several oils can also help alleviate eczema symptoms. Coconut oil, jojoba oil, fish oil and olive oil mixed with cornstarch are all effective remedies, according to Everyday Roots. Another remedy is to use a homemade soothing butter. It is made by melting together shea butter, coconut oil, jojoba oil and beeswax. After it cools, the butter is applied to the affected areas.
