It is very important when suffering from eczema to establish a skin care routine to keep the skin as moist and healthy as possible:
-- Bathing - a daily bath helps to moisturize the skin, using aqueous cream rather than ordinary soap. The water temperature should be cool or warm for a 15 to 20 minute soak so that the skin's outer layer can absorb moisture. Avoid any excessive scrubbing. Dry the skin by gently patting with a towel.
-- Moisturisers or Emolients - these creams are important for adding moisture every day to clean, damp skin. The best moisturiser is a basic greasy one without extra ingredients or fragrances such as Vaseline. Use after showering and bathing and if you are working or living in an air conditioned or heated workplace or home. Use twice a day, and more often on the hands.
-- Avoid scratching the skin - keeping busy with activities that involve the use of your hands may help prevent scratching. In the case of children, their nails should be kept cut short and covered in cotton mittens at night. Scratching can actually trigger eczematous rashes. Some eczematous rashes completely disappear without any treatment if you just stop scratching.
There are several treatment options for eczema such as:
-- Oral antihistamines - histamine is responsible for some symptoms of eczema but particularly the itching. Taking antihistamine ensures a good night's rest.
-- Healing Natural Products - made from the pure essential oils extracted from plants and applied topically to relieve eczema symptoms and to begin the healing process of repairing the skin.
-- Corticosteroids - a topical steroid but only available on prescription from your doctor. It is best to use the lowest effective strength as using high strength topical steroids for periods of time can cause side effects such as thinning of the skin.
-- Coal Tar - this should be used under the supervision of a doctor as it can irritate some people's skin. Coal tar has a strong smell and can stain clothing.
-- Cyclopsorin oral medication - this medication is sometimes used in helping to manage the symptoms of severe eczema. It reduces the immune system activity which in turn reduces inflammation. However there can be very serious side effects and its use has to be monitored very strictly.
-- Evening Primrose Oil - this is either applied topically or taken in capsule form. This oil contains gamma linolenic acid which is thought to be lacking in some of those who have eczema.
-- Phototherapy - this is another treatment for those with chronic eczema where the patient is exposed to up to 30 sessions of ultraviolet radiation. Expert supervision is required because the risks are the same as for sunbathing namely accelerated ageing of the skin and the increased risk of skin cancer.
Therefore if you take good care of your skin and choose a course of treatment that will work, you will go a long way to keeping your eczema under control.

It is very important when suffering from eczema to establish a skin care routine to keep the skin as moist and healthy as possible:
在饱受湿疹折磨时，建立一个日常的皮肤护理方法来保持皮肤尽可能的湿润和健康是非常重要的：
-- Bathing - a daily bath helps to moisturize the skin, using aqueous cream rather than ordinary soap. The water temperature should be cool or warm for a 15 to 20 minute soak so that the skin's outer layer can absorb moisture. Avoid any excessive scrubbing. Dry the skin by gently patting with a towel.
--沐浴--每天用含水的润肤露而不要用普通肥皂洗澡，可以帮助皮肤增加水分。无论水温是凉爽还是暖和，每次至少要泡15到20分钟，皮肤的外层才能吸收水分。不要过多的擦洗。用毛巾轻轻的将皮肤拍干。
-- Moisturisers or Emolients - these creams are important for adding moisture every day to clean, damp skin. The best moisturiser is a basic greasy one without extra ingredients or fragrances such as Vaseline. Use after showering and bathing and if you are working or living in an air conditioned or heated workplace or home. Use twice a day, and more often on the hands.
--使湿润或使柔软--这些润肤霜很重要，它们每天清洁和湿润皮肤，给皮肤增加水分。最好的是那些不含其他成分或气味的碱性脂质，例如凡士林。如果你工作或居住在一个有空调或热的环境，请在淋浴和沐浴后使用。每天两次，手上则要多用几次。
-- Avoid scratching the skin - keeping busy with activities that involve the use of your hands may help prevent scratching. In the case of children, their nails should be kept cut short and covered in cotton mittens at night. Scratching can actually trigger eczematous rashes. Some eczematous rashes completely disappear without any treatment if you just stop scratching.
--避免抓，挠皮肤--始终进行那些需要动手的活动可以帮助你不去抓，挠皮肤。就孩子们而言，他们的指甲应该剪短并且在晚上睡觉时戴上棉手套。抓挠事实上可以引起湿疹性的皮疹。一些湿疹性的皮疹仅需停止抓挠，症状便会完全消失，而不需要任何治疗。
There are several treatment options for eczema such as:
这里有一些可供选择的治疗湿疹的方法，例如：
-- Oral antihistamines - histamine is responsible for some symptoms of eczema but particularly the itching. Taking antihistamine ensures a good night's rest.
--口服抗组胺剂--组胺和湿疹的一些症状特别是和痒有关。服用抗组胺剂可以确保晚上休息好。
-- Healing Natural Products - made from the pure essential oils extracted from plants and applied topically to relieve eczema symptoms and to begin the healing process of repairing the skin.
--有治疗作用的天然产品--由从植物中萃取的纯精华植物油制造，在局部应用可以缓解湿疹症状并开始修补皮肤的治疗过程。
-- Corticosteroids - a topical steroid but only available on prescription from your doctor. It is best to use the lowest effective strength as using high strength topical steroids for periods of time can cause side effects such as thinning of the skin.
--皮质类固醇--只能由医生开给你的一种在局部使用的类固醇。最好使用最低有效浓度，因为长时间使用高浓度的皮质类固醇可以引起例如皮肤变薄等副作用。
-- Coal Tar - this should be used under the supervision of a doctor as it can irritate some people's skin. Coal tar has a strong smell and can stain clothing.
--煤焦油--这个应该在医生的监督下使用，因为它会对一些人的皮肤产生刺激作用。煤焦油有很强烈的气味，并且会染污衣服。
-- Cyclopsorin oral medication - this medication is sometimes used in helping to manage the symptoms of severe eczema. It reduces the immune system activity which in turn reduces inflammation. However there can be very serious side effects and its use has to be monitored very strictly.
--环孢霉素口服药物--这种药物有时被用来帮助控制严重的湿疹症状。它降低免疫系统的活性从而减少炎症反应。然而，使用这种药物可能会产生很强的副作用，所以它的使用必须严格监控。
-- Evening Primrose Oil - this is either applied topically or taken in capsule form. This oil contains gamma linolenic acid which is thought to be lacking in some of those who have eczema.
--晚报春花油--这个也是局部性使用或者以胶囊的形式吞服。这种油含有γ-亚麻酸。一些患有湿疹的人被认为是缺乏γ-亚麻酸。
-- Phototherapy - this is another treatment for those with chronic eczema where the patient is exposed to up to 30 sessions of ultraviolet radiation. Expert supervision is required because the risks are the same as for sunbathing namely accelerated ageing of the skin and the increased risk of skin cancer.
--光线疗法--这是一种治疗那些慢性湿疹病人的方法。患者需要暴露在紫外线下超过30个疗程。这种治疗方法的风险和日光浴是一样的，既皮肤的加速老化和患皮肤癌患几率增加，所以专家的监督是必要的。
Therefore if you take good care of your skin and choose a course of treatment that will work, you will go a long way to keeping your eczema under control.
因此，只要你护理好你的皮肤，选择一种有效的治疗方法，将对你控制湿疹大有帮助。
