Skin Care for Eczema

Appropriate treatment will depend on the type of eczema. This is where consulting a dermatologist is essential. First, the condition must be diagnosed and exacerbating or co-morbid conditions identified and treated. But no matter the type of eczema, whether atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, or stasis dermatitis, skin care is an essential pillar of treatment. This includes the use of gentle, fragrance-free cleansers, consistent use of fragrance free, highly emollient moisturizing creams, and avoidance of irritants. Below are a few of Dr Zook’s favorite skin products to recommend for eczema.
