Nutritional Support for Eczema/Dermatitis on Foot & Ankle: Simplified Standard Process Protocol
Focus: Skin Barrier Repair & Comfort in Lower Extremity
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) or contact dermatitis causes itchy, red, dry, or cracked skin on the feet/ankles, often triggered by moisture, shoes, sweat, or irritants. While topical treatments, moisturizers, avoidance of triggers, and proper footwear are primary, whole-food supplements can support skin integrity, immune modulation, and barrier function from within.
Disclaimer Educational only—not medical advice. Standard Process products do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent eczema or dermatitis. Consult your podiatrist, dermatologist, or allergist before starting, especially with active infection, topical steroids, or allergies. Patch-test topicals and monitor skin changes.
Key Lifestyle Essentials
- Use fragrance-free, thick moisturizers (e.g., after bathing)
- Wear breathable cotton socks; change if damp
- Avoid irritants (harsh soaps, synthetic shoes)
- Gentle cleansing; pat dry—no rubbing
- Manage stress and allergens
Why DermaCo Fits Well (and Might Be Better)
DermaCo combines traditional detoxifying herbs like Sarsaparilla, Cleavers, Oregon Grape, Burdock, and Yellow Dock. These work synergistically to:
- Support normal flushing of toxins from the body.
- Encourage healthy function of elimination organs (liver, kidneys, lymphatics).
- Promote skin renewal, integrity, and comfort—key for inflammatory skin conditions like eczema/dermatitis, where internal buildup can exacerbate flares.
- Provide compounds (e.g., berberine, saponins) that support a healthy inflammatory response and blood cleansing, which may reduce redness, itching, and dryness in lower extremity skin.
Compared to Gotu Kola Complex (which excels at circulation, capillary support, and collagen for tissue repair), DermaCo focuses more on detox and blood cleansing—often a root cause in chronic skin issues like eczema (per practitioner experiences and traditional herbal use). Many sources recommend it specifically for maintaining healthy skin and supporting detoxification pathways that contribute to clearer, calmer skin. It’s commonly paired with Gotu Kola Complex for broader benefits.
