A few ideas.: Try to figure out the source. Whats new in your routine? Be a detective. Non-drug treatments for eczema include: mild soap and moisturizer.Short, warm showers, reduce stress. Hydrocortisone cream over the counter helps as well as antihistamines can help.

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.
