What can we use for my 19 year old daughter with eczema above the lips. she overused cortisone creams and now lips are quite thin and problem still the same. what can we do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Moisturizer: Apply an eczema moisturizer and avoid fragrance in topical creams. Use the moisturizer several times per day. Use the cortisone only twice daily and avoid contact with the lips. Since the eczema is located above the lips, no medication should be applied directly to the lips to avoid this unwanted side effect of using topical cortisone. No immersion in water is suggested.
