eczema is genetically dry skin. there is no "cure" but there are effective treatments. first be sure that you are dealing with eczema (atopic dermatitis). see a dermatologist if you are not clear. the steps: 1. moisturization is the key so use a good skin moisturizer -- one without perfumes -- and sue it often. 2. avoid scratching at all costs since this can lead to secondary skin infection. antihistamines can be used fo control itching. 3. control inflammation. using hydrocortisone cream (available over the counter) will help. 4. keep the skin very clean. and cool. warm sweaters (especially wool) will drive eczema crazy. 5. be patient. controlling eczema takes time. do not hesitate to involve a dermatologist if your home management is not working.
