Although no known cure has been found till date, symptoms can be kept under control by use of certain Eczema creams and other methods. The main symptom of eczema is the dryness of the skin. This dry skin tends to itch and when scratched, it becomes red and rashes begin to appear. Sometimes, the skin can open out and lead to bleeding and oozing. Constant scratching of the skin and appearance of symptoms can lead to thickening and crusting of these areas. Sometimes, these areas can get infected and lead to pus formations that will need the use of antibiotics for reversing the symptoms. Unfortunately, no known cure is present until now for eczema.

Dermatologists advise using the creams twice in a day to give effective results and preventing dryness and other symptoms.

When just the use of these emollients does not do the job, other creams that contain steroids in varying proportions are used to alleviate the symptoms. These creams should not remain in contact with the skin for long durations as they can have other adverse effects on the skin.
