A few options: Over-the-counter Hydrocortisone cream or ointment may help mild eczema. Prescription steroid cream may be needed for more severe eczema. Prescription-strength moisturizers (these replace the barrier of the skin) iclude hylatopic plus, mimyx, and epiceram. If it's mild, i typically give samples of cetaphil.
