Eczema Treatment: Effective Solutions to Manage and Relieve Symptoms

Effective Treatments for Eczema

Topical Corticosteroids: These are the most common treatment for reducing inflammation and itching. They come in different strengths depending on the severity.
Moisturizers and Emollients: Regularly applying fragrance-free, hypoallergenic moisturizers helps prevent dryness and irritation.
Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors (TCIs): An alternative to corticosteroids, TCIs like tacrolimus help reduce inflammation without steroids' side effects.
Phototherapy: Exposure to controlled UV light can help manage severe eczema by reducing inflammation.
Antihistamines: These help alleviate itching, especially at night, for better sleep.
Wet Wrap Therapy: Applying moisturizers and wrapping affected areas in damp bandages can help soothe skin and lock in moisture.
Biologic Medications: For severe eczema, biologics can target immune system proteins to reduce symptoms.

Lifestyle Tips

Avoid triggers like allergens and harsh soaps.
Bathe in lukewarm water with mild soap to prevent drying out the skin.
Wear soft, breathable fabrics to avoid irritation.
