But treatments and self-care measures can relieve itching and prevent new outbreaks.”
Topical steroid creams and ointments that can be used to reduce itchy feeling on eczema rash can be bought over the counter in as chemist. Such creams include; hydrocortisone, clobetasone butyrate or mometasone.
Creams and ointments that reduce inflammations and contain allergic reactions like pimecrolimus cream and tacrolimus ointment can help in fighting eczema.
