Treatments
Learny and avoiding your specific triggers is the first step to treating eczema. Bathing or showering in warm water every day and then using oil-rich moisturizer afterwards will prevent your skin from drying out and getting itchy. Some of these topical treatments are available Over-the-counter, while your doctor might have to prescribe some. They Include:
- Steroids
- Antihistamine, like Zyrtec, Benadryl, and Claritin
- Calcineurin inhibitors, such as tacrolimus ointment (Protopic) and cream (Elidel)
