Can vinegar cure eczema?

Question

My sister has been struggling with eczema for a long time, and nothing seems to fully work. Our grandmother suggested trying vinegar. Can vinegar actually cure eczema, or is it just an old wives' tale?

I'm so tired that I'd try putting soy sauce on my skin if someone said it worked! Honestly though, direct vinegar on raw eczema sounds like absolute torture. Please don't do it, your skin will burn like crazy.

I was researching this because my cousin has bad eczema patches. Apparently, Apple Cider Vinegar diluted in a lot of water can help balance skin pH, but it definitely won't cure it. Eczema is chronic, so a proper dermatologist's advice is still the best route.

Agree with others, vinegar will only make the itching and burning worse. Stick to gentle, doctor-prescribed eczema creams to soothe your skin barrier safely.

I tried diluted ACV on my eczema once because some YouTuber recommended it. Big mistake, it irritated my skin even more and turned it completely red. Stick to thick, fragrance-free moisturizers and see a doc if it gets bad.

Haan yaar, direct vinegar lagane ki galti mat karna na! It will burn like hell. Eczema ke liye cold pressed coconut oil try kar sakte ho, but proper treatment toh skin specialist hi batayega.

There is absolutely no scientific proof that vinegar can cure eczema. Putting acidic liquids on compromised skin barriers can cause severe irritation or even chemical burns. Please consult a qualified dermatologist instead of trying internet hacks.
