What is the best treatment for eczema?

Dr Sarah Jarvis MBE

The usual treatment consists of three parts:

-Avoiding irritants to the skin and other causes (triggers) wherever possible. -Moisturisers (emollients) - used every day to help prevent inflammation developing. -Steroid creams and ointments (topical steroids) - mainly used when inflammation flares up.
