What treatment is best for eczema patients?
By Dr. Mary Lupo
Treatment of eczema
To determine the best treatment for eczema, patients need to better understand the cause of their eczema. Some patients are just more susceptible to flare-ups than others. Flare-ups can be mild or severe. They are often caused by some of the following issues:- Genetics
- Stress
- Sweating
- Temperature changes
- Exposure to cigarette smoke
- Cleansers and soaps
- Solvents
- Allergens
- Infections and colds
- Synthetic fibers against the skin
- High sugar diets
Treatment for eczema will depend on the cause, as well as the type and severity. If eczema is caused by exposure to certain elements or materials, avoidance of these items can greatly reduce the risk of flare-ups. However, if the reason is unknown or cannot be avoided, treatment options are discussed. They may include:
- Moisturizers
- Specialized soaps
- Topical prescription creams
- Immunosuppressant medications
