Maybe: There are prescription creams for eczema which are not necessarily going to be a cure.There are also some preventive other meds.We cannot prescribe on this platform,so you should speak to your doctor for that.Over-the-counter moisturizers(white, unscented creams or lotions)or ointment like Aquaphor can help.Over-the-counter,lower strength hydrocortisone creams,used sparingly can also help.
