How To Get Rid Of Eczema Permanently?
Hi doctor,
i've got some sort of skin eczema which has been on my body since childhood. it used to go away for sometime n them come back all of sudden. At the moment, my condition is that even a small scratch on my skin or a mosquito bite turns into that eczema which is red, inflamed and very itching!!!
It is very irritating to keep on itching and it happens anywhere on it own.
I don't know what to do or how to get rid of it permanently.
I've been using Dipsalic F n it had slowed it down but ever since i've stopped using it....it just came back!!
Please help doctor.
Thanks
Jaspal

Hello dear,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
I will like to tell you that skin eczema is a highly recurrent condition. It usually aggravates with dry skin.
I usually advice my patients to apply moderate to strong potency topical steroids over the lesions one to two times a day.
Additionally good amount of moisturizer application is advisable to put over whole body preferably on semi wet body 2-3 times a day.
Also don't scratch or itch over the lesions as it will worsen the condition.
As per details this is my best advice for you. If you have further query, you may ask me.
Stay healthy.
