Eczema isn’t a skin problem. It’s an immune disorder. What’s happening on your skin is just the symptoms of eczema. Apply the moisturizer that you’re compatible with & avoid your eczema triggers.

there's no one size fits all for moisturisers. bu generally the more expensive brands can do a better job.

The tricky part about eczema is it's unique (different) from person to person. What works for me, may not work for you & vice versa. A lot of newborn has it & grew out of it eventually, some didn't & have to live with it for life. Some got it later in life, like in their teens, early adulthood & even after menopause too. Hives, asthma, allergies & eczema are quite similar actually. They're all immune disorders. But don't let that term frighten you much, the key to all those is to identify the unique triggers & avoid them like a plague.

Diet wise, I'd suggest to avoid sugar & gluten in general. Those are inflammatory food that tend to make your immune system go haywire. You might wanna keep a food diary to help identify what are the things that triggers your eczema. Hopefully it's as simple as dairy, seafood, nuts or animal furs. A personal Instagram account should be great for that. Food that you may wanna increase consumption should be stuffs that helps your immune system such as turmeric, ginger, vit C, probiotics. There are more that you can find, but those are the more commonly available ones. A partial short cut to this is an allergen test, easily available in most hospital for few hundred ringgit. It'll help you identify if you're allergic to common allergens.

Moisturizer wise, since it's something that you may get regularly, you might wanna find something from your neighborhood pharmacy. Lotsa common brands like Cetaphil, Ezzera, Physiogel. Personally, I usually advise people to go with the minimalist approach & use basic pure moisturizers like olive oil, shea butters, coconut oil etc. But don't get those cooking grade ones from the food section, you need skincare grade ones usually available in beauty stores. The logic behind it is simple, the lesser the better cause if it doesn't suit you, you'll know exactly what to look out for & avoid in the future.
