A member asked:

Help! i have eczema above my upper lip and its so noticeable and red. how do i get rid of/hide or cover the redness. i need an immediate cure for this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a dermatologist: Sometimes this is caused by prescription cortisone. Often it is treated with a calcineurin inhibitor such as pimecrolimus cream or tacrolimus ointment by prescription. This may clear it in a few hours.
