#wetwrap

Wet wrapping is a great way to lock moisture into dry atopic skin. BUT, it can be messy and time consuming and depending on the "wrapee (person being wrapped)" be it toddler, teen, or even adult, it may be next to impossible to keep the person in it! This quick video is how we wrap one problem area for more immediate relief and so that it's not overwhelming. Some people may do it differently but for us, short concentrated wraps seem to work better as far as the AllergyKid keeping it on and achieving the desired moisture. #wetwrapkids #wetwrap #wetwrapping #moisture #moisturelock #eczema #atopicdermatitis #atopiceczema #dryskin #dryskinrelief #eczemahelp #soakandseal #stoptheitch #stoptheflare #itchyhands #eczemawarrior #eczemakids #eczemamom #itchingforacure #allergykid2006 #allergykids #allergymom #unhideeczema #easywrap #vanicream #vaniply (at Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFhePFnpA_o/?igshid=12k79z9u9696u

Quickie wet wrap for a small area. The AllergyKid has been picking at this really flared and dry spot on his arm so first we dry wrapped and then we wet wrapped. He prefers towels to PJs and stays in them longer. We'll do a video tomorrow. Step one, use full strength steroid or compound in our case, Step two, wet a towel sized for the area and then quickly wrap the area. Step three, cover snugly with a dry towel. Keep on as long as possible (we try for 30-40 minute time bursts). Step five, remove and use more moisturizer if needed. They did it this way when he was in the Day Hospital and it was easier and he complained less. *Video coming!******* #eczema #eczemawarrior #stoptheflare #stoptheitch #wetwrap #wetwrapkids #moisturize #atopicdermatitis #contactdermatitis #itchyskin #itchy #unhideeczema #itchingforacure #eczemahelp #itchrelief #eczemarelief #eczemapatients #eczemaproblems #eczemakids #eczemamom #allergykid2006 #allergykids #allergymom https://www.instagram.com/p/CDku87zJu-M/?igshid=f19n87lxykr3
