Eczema is a chronic, itchy, inflammatory skin condition that flares and settles over time.
Dermatologists treat eczema by repairing the skin barrier, calming inflammation, and identifying triggers like irritants, allergens, heat, or stress. Most people do well with a daily moisturizing routine plus prescription anti-inflammatory creams during flares, while moderate to severe cases may benefit from newer biologic or oral medications. The goal is fewer, milder flares and better day-to-day comfort.
Thick emollients and gentle cleansing to repair the skin barrier and reduce itch and flares.
Prescription anti-inflammatory creams used during flares to calm redness and itching.
Targeted injectable medicines for moderate-to-severe eczema not controlled by creams.
