Moisturize: The key to making eczema better is to repair skin barrier, since damaged skin barrier causes symptoms of eczema. Wash with dove soap for sensitive skin, pat cry, apply a good cream moisturizer while your skin is still wet. I recommend cerave, cetaphil, aveeno, (oatmeal) vanicream only creams not lotions. No fragrances of any kind.

Protect: Avoid things that make you break out, soaps & wetness. Wash your hands only when necessary. Wear gloves when needed. Wear clothes made of cotton. Bathe only with a small amount of mild unscented soap, such as dove. Keep the water temperature cool or warm, not hot. Use the medicine your doctor gave you. Use a plain moisturizer daily. Avoid scratching or rubbing the itchy area. Manage stress.
