Intro

Although eczema cannot be cured, there are a number of things that can be done to help manage and control it. The aims of eczema treatment should be to heal the skin, keep it in good condition, and manage the symptoms of an attack or flare-up when they appear.

The following are treatments that your family doctor or dermatologist may recommend. Please be aware that you should not use a combination of these treatments at the same time, unless instructed to do so by your doctor. It is, however, okay to continue to use emollients while receiving any prescribed treatments.
