Eczema is a skin condition that is non-contagious, characterised by itchy, and red patches on the skin. The treatment of eczema is provided to lessen the itching, redness and inflammation of the skin.
This includes the topical application of Antihistamine creams, oral antibiotics, etc. However, these medicinal treatments should be started after the consultation with the doctor.
There are some home remedies for eczema that can ease skin irritation.
Moisturization - Dry skin can lead to severe itching. Regular moisturization with prescribed ointments and gentle care of the skin can help.
Avoid triggers - In case of allergic reactions, avoid getting exposed to those allergens. There are certain foods, creams, medicines and environment that leads to itching.
Soft Clothing - Prefer to let your child wear soft and comfortable clothes. Avoid wearing too much-embellished cloth. The harsh and rough texture of the fabric exaggerates the skin inflammation.
