Treatments tried: hydracortisone 2.5%, 0.05% Clobetasol mixed in Cetaphil moisturizing cream, Permethrin 5% cream (to rule out mites), triamcinolone acetonide, singulair, Ketoconazole 2% Cream, Hydroxyzine HCL 25mg tab, cortisone shot, UV therapy (one tried. Am restarting UV therapy in the near future), citrizine, None of these things have resulted in Eczema not being chronic.
