Moisturizers: Eczema is a chronic recurrent skin rash. While there is no cure it can often be controlled with a combination of skin care (moisturizers, topical steroid creams), antihistamines for itching, and avoidance of triggers and allergens. Al allergist can help determine what triggers your eczema and determine an appropriate treatment plan.

Protect: Avoid things that make you break out, soaps & wetness. Wash your hands only when necessary. Wear gloves when needed. Wear clothes made of cotton. Bathe only with a small amount of mild unscented soap, such as dove. Keep the water temperature cool or warm, not hot. Use the medicine your doctor gave you. Use a plain moisturizer daily. Avoid scratching or rubbing the itchy area. Manage stress.
