Are there any long term cures for eczema?

Doctor's Answer

Thank you for your question. Eczema is an inflammation of the skin. Genetics and environmental factors do play a role in the development of eczema.

While there are no cures for eczema, there are many treatments that can help to control eczema. Eczema also tends to improve with age, although some people may have eczema persisting into adulthood.

Factors such as skin dryness, infection and irritation can cause your eczema to flare or be persistent.

If your child's eczema is not getting better with the current treatment, I do suggest you see your doctor or dermatologist again for re-evaluation.
