Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider is a great home remedy for a skin disorder and is very effective in treating bacteria and other infections. Yet no research has confirmed its benefits in treating atopic dermatitis, but several reasons make it effective.
Balancing acidity levels- Almost all kinds of vinegar are acidic, including apple cider. Skin is also acidic, but the people with atopic dermatitis may have a less acidic skin, which can weaken the skin defense against invaders. Applying a diluted form of apple cider in the skin can help balance the acidity of the skin. Use a dilute form of vinegar as it can burn the skin if not properly diluted.
Fighting bacteria-Studies have shown apple cider to be effective in fighting against bacteria like E.coli and staphylococcus aureus. Using a diluted form of apple cider on the skin will help protect the skin’s broken area from being infected.
