  Children with eczema (atopic dermatitis) tend to get patches of dry, itchy skin. While there is no known cure for eczema, it can be treated so your child feels better. Eczema treatments usually target four common problems: dryness, itching, irritated skin (inflammation) and infection. Gentle skin care daily is important to improve the skin barrier. Apply a moisturizer to the whole body immediately after bathing (while the skin is still damp) every day. This helps „lock in” the moisture of the water. Topical steroid medicines („steroids” or „cortisones”) are applied to the skin to heal irritated eczema rashes (inflammation). These prescription medications are very effective and safe when used appropriately. Non-steroid eczema medicines (examples include tacrolimus ointment, pimecrolimus cream, crisaborole ointment) have been increasingly developed in recent years. These medications also help heal irritated eczema rashes using different active ingredients than steroids. Soaking in a tub with a small amount of bleach added to the water 2-3 times per week can help prevent skin infections. Biologic therapies („biologics”) are medicines that target the part of the immune system that is causing the irritated skin rash. These newer medication types can be very helpful for moderate to severe eczema that is not well controlled with topical medicines and gentle skin care. Gentle daily skin care, as described above, is one of the most important things you can do to prevent future eczema flares.
