Does a Humidifier Help with Eczema?

Should You Use a Humidifier for Eczema Symptoms?

Symptoms of eczema tend to become worse during the winter. This is mainly due to a cold and dry condition during this time of the year. The same happens when an increase in the heat leads to less moisture in the air. That’s why a humidifier may help people with eczema. In general, this device can restore moisture in the air, thus making your skin less dry. As a result, you may be less prone to flaking and itching during a flare. Studies have shown that using a humidifier during months with low humidity can even help with breakout prevention. [2]
