During your appointment, your dermatologist will determine what type of eczema you have and recommend the right course of treatment, including: 

• Reducing the number of times you bathe: If you shower or bathe with extremely hot water, a dermatologist may recommend replacing it with lukewarm water, as well as using a non-foaming cleanser. 
• Wearing breathable clothing: Avoid clothes that are tight, non-breathable and itchy as it can irritate the affected area. 
• Protecting your skin: Replace your detergents if they are harsh on your skin.
• Using moisturizers: Apply products that aid in water loss recovery; avoid fragrant products. 
• Taking prescribed medications: Depending on the severity of your eczema, your dermatologist may recommend topical steroid medications, anti-inflammatory topical medication such as Pimecrolimus/tacrolimus cream/ointment, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory called Crisaborole or antihistamines.
• Participating in other treatments: This could include photodynamic light therapy, oral immunosuppressant therapies and more.
