The Effects of Pollen and Dust Mites on Eczema

Dust mites, fungus, and mould can irritate eczema. Try to keep the bedroom as free of these irritants as possible.
There are a number of products available to help manage these. Using special high-powered vacuums and allergen/dust proof covers for mattresses and pillows can control these microscopic creatures. Having hardwood floors and washing bedding frequently at high temperatures can also help.
Home care tips
• Dust frequently using a ‘cling’ mop or cloth
• Cover mattresses, box springs and pillows with allergen/dust proof covers
• Special, high-powered vacuums keep dust mites under control
• Hardwood floors are better than carpet
• If mould & mildew develop, try a dehumidifier
• Keep bedrooms cool
