“For the itching of eczema some of my patients have found that if they put 2 tablespoons of oatmeal into their bath that it calms the itching, so that is an effective treatment. Also, those with eczema should avoid itchy fabrics like wall and mohair and stick to soft natural fibers like cotton, cashmere and linen.” – Debra Jaliman MD , Assistant Professor of Dermatology
