Dry eczema is also called dry eczema and lipid-poor eczema. It can be treated with topical emollients, glucocorticoids, antihistamines, or immunosuppressive drugs.
1. Emollients: It is recommended to strengthen skin care, which can reduce flare-ups. Topical emollients can provide an oil layer for the outer layer of the skin, preventing the loss of moisture from the skin surface and repairing the skin barrier.
2. Glucocorticosteroids: Topical glucocorticosteroids, such as hydrocortisone butyrate cream and mometasone furoate cream, have anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects, and can promote the subsiding of skin damage.
3. Antihistamines: Itchy skin is obvious, if necessary, with oral loratadine, levocetirizine, etc., can effectively relieve itching.
4. Immunosuppressants: when other medications are ineffective, immunosuppressant medications such as pimecrolimus cream and tacrolimus ointment can be used to treat eczema, which can reduce the immune response, as prescribed by the doctor.
If there is intense itching, flaking or signs of infection, it is recommended to go to the dermatology department of the hospital. After a clear diagnosis, follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment. All of the above medications should be used under medical supervision.
