Long-term treatment is needed for eczema as it is often chronic and persistent. You may need to treat this condition for several weeks or even years.
Dr. Bucay can help you explore various treatment options for eczema. She may recommend treatment options that include everything from the use of over-the-counter moisturizers to topical corticosteroids, skin repair lotions/gels, oral anti-itch medications, or injections to help control inflammation.
In addition to lotions and medications, Dr. Bucay can help you discover lifestyle changes that can help your condition. Lifestyle changes such as regular use of a moisturizer, using mild soaps/shampoos, and placing a humidifier in a room can help prevent eczema flare-ups.
