What Is Eczema?

Eczema is a common skin condition that occurs when the skin becomes inflamed and irritated. It can cause red, itchy patches on the skin as well as dryness and flaking. In some cases, eczema may also be accompanied by swelling or blistering of the affected area. Although there is no cure for eczema at this time, treatment options are available to help manage symptoms and reduce flare-ups of the condition.

What Treatments Are Available for Eczema and Allergic Reactions?

Common treatments for eczema and allergic reactions include: topical medications such as corticosteroids or antihistamines to reduce inflammation; moisturizers to hydrate the skin; phototherapy (light therapy) to kill bacteria that can cause infection; and immunosuppressants to suppress the body’s immune response. In severe cases, systemic medications may be prescribed to control flare-ups.

Other lifestyle modifications may be recommended by Dr. Hellman, such as avoiding triggers or wearing loose clothing made from natural materials like cotton. Washing with mild soaps and warm water instead of hot water can also help manage eczema symptoms. With appropriate treatment and management techniques, an individual with eczema or allergies can lead a normal life free from discomfort caused by their condition.
