Your treatment for eczema is unique to you and what caused your symptoms to flare up. Treatment for eczema could include: Using gentle or sensitive skin moisturizers throughout the day when you have dry skin. Apply moisturizer when your skin is damp after a bath or shower. Apply topical medications to your skin as advised by your provider, like topical steroids. Take oral medications like anti-inflammatory medicines, antihistamines or corticosteroids to reduce itchiness and swelling. Immunosuppressant drugs help regulate how your immune system functions. Light therapy to improve the appearance of your skin and remove blemishes. Avoid triggers that cause symptoms of eczema to flare up.
