RealAge answered:Treating eczema starts with halting the itch-scratch cycle and usually includes a dry-skin care routine. This would entail using very mild cleansers, avoiding washcloths, and being diligent about applying rich moisturizers to the skin while it’s still damp right out of the shower. Topical anti-inflammatory such as cortisone creams can also help. Several treatment options are available depending on how bad your particular eczema is, and by your figuring out if there is a specific irritant triggering the condition. Your doctor can help you with this.
