About Eczema treatment

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic condition that causes your skin to become itchy, red, and scaly. In most cases, eczema flares up when the skin is exposed to an irritant or allergen but subsides after some time. Some people may experience flare-ups and healing periods several times a year.

During a flare-up, some common symptoms of eczema include:


  • Dry skin
  • Itchy skin
  • Cracked, leathery, or scaly skin
  • Red rashes
  • Small bumps or blisters on the skin that may leak fluid, crust, or scab over

Eczema affects nearly 15 million Americans every year but is most common among children. There is no cure for eczema, but symptoms can usually be managed with a combination of self-care and medical treatment options.

Treatment Options
Below are potential eczema treatment options that may be recommended or prescribed by your Sesame provider.

Doctors and providers on Sesame may prescribe one of the following medications for eczema treatment. Note that all prescriptions are at your provider's discretion.

  • Hydrocortisone
  • Triamcinolone
  • Clobetasol Propionate
  • Mometasone Furoate
  • Tacrolimus
  • Pimecrolimus
OTC anti-allergy medications such as antihistamines and topical anti-itch cream can help fight itchiness and skin inflammation. Non-prescription hydrocortisone creams and other mild corticosteroids can also help temporarily relieve itching from eczema, but should not be used for more than 2 weeks at a time to prevent skin thinning.

While you won’t be able to cure your eczema, you can take several easy steps to reduce itching and manage flare-ups. Some methods you can use at home include:

- Moisturize: Moisturizers, such as lotions, oils, or ointment can help reduce dryness and relieve itching. Moisturizing twice a day has been shown to soothe skin and relieve symptoms. If you are using hydrocortisone cream, it is best to apply the hydrocortisone after moisturizing so that the cream can be more easily absorbed by the skin.

- Take an oatmeal bath: Colloidal oatmeal baths help soothe the skin, and can ease symptoms such as itchy, scaly, and cracked skin. Pat dry and moisturize after taking an oatmeal bath.

- Use fragrance-free soaps and detergents: Choose products labeled “fragrance-free” or products meant for sensitive skin. Some soaps, shampoos, and other body care items contain harsh ingredients that can cause skin irritation. Consider limiting the use of soaps when possible, as they can remove your body’s naturally protective and moisturizing oils.

- Use a humidifier. Hot, dry air can irritate your skin. Use a humidifier to maintain some moisture in the house to prevent dry, cracking skin.

- Don’t itch. Itching irritates and opens up the skin, increasing your risk of infection. If you have a hard time not itching eczema flare-ups, apply bandages to the affected area to create a barrier over the skin. Bandages may also help protect against pathogens that may cause infection.

- Avoid wool. Loose-fitting cotton clothing is easy on the skin. Avoid textiles that may irritate the skin, such as wool.

Phototherapy involves exposing the skin to concentrated doses of sunlight or UV light. These procedures have been shown to help reduce symptoms of eczema, especially in patients who do not respond to other forms of treatment. Long-term exposure to UV light can be harmful to the skin and can increase the risk of skin cancer. Talk to your doctor about health risks associated with phototherapy before beginning treatment.

Eczema flareups can be triggered by a range of factors. Common causes of eczema include environmental irritants (cold weather, insect bites, fragrances, chemicals, fabrics, etc.), a weakened immune system, genetics, and even stress. If you’re unsure what’s causing your eczema, book a in-person or online skin consult with a licensed healthcare provider. They can work with you to narrow down possible irritants and come up with a treatment plan.

There is no cure for eczema, but there are treatment options that can help manage and ease symptoms. These treatments include over-the-counter medications, prescription medications, and at-home remedies.
