What is the treatment?
There is essentially no cure for atopic eczema because it involves a sensitivity of the skin that will always remain to some degree. There are, however, a number of approaches that help to minimize symptoms. The primary treatment is to keep the skin moisturized using creams, ointments, and shower and bath oils that help to replenish the skin's natural protective oils. Your doctor may also prescribe a cream or ointment containing a steroid. These are very effective at reducing inflammation and itch. Your doctor will want you to use this sparingly, and only while the eczema is bad. There are different strengths of steroid applications, and the tendency is to use the lowest strength that the skin requires at the time in order to minimize the risk of possible side effects. Oral antihistamines may also be helpful in reducing the itch. Your doctor will prescribe antibiotics if the skin becomes infected, which it is more likely to occur when the skin’s normal protective surface has been damaged. If your skin does not improve, additional treatments might include bandages and wet wraps, and drugs to suppress the immune system. Phototherapy, which is ultraviolet light treatment (UVB and PUVA), can also be used to treat atopic eczema. If you have irritant or allergic contact eczema, it is wise to avoid the chemical that causes it, if possible.
