A member asked:

Is there any ointments for eczema that actually get rid of it quickly instead of just getting the itching to stop?

Eczema: Atopic dermatitis is our fancy term for eczema. Check out http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/eczema/basics/definition/con-20032073 for more info. Weak topical steroids are available OTC w/o prescription to decrease inflammation but shouldn't be used for extended prolonged periods of time. Best to see your Family Doc & Dermatologist to confirm diagnosis & discuss optimal chronic manageme
