Can motrin help heal eczema?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: That it will help. Ibuprofen is a non steroidal anti inflammatory drug (nsaid), so theoretically it can reduce inflammation of eczema, but it just doesn't. Topical steroids, such as Hydrocortisone ointment, can help. Have you tried it?
