Eczema (atopic dermatitis)

Eczema is a relapsing, itchy condition. Daily gentle cleansing and rich, fragrance‑free moisturizers help reduce flares. Apply moisturizers within 3 minutes after bathing. Avoid direct contact with hot water—keep showers short and warm.

• Short, lukewarm showers; fragrance‑free cleanser
• Thick moisturizer twice daily (apply after bathing/washing hands)
• Use fragrance-free products only
• Wear gloves when washing dishes by hand

When to see a dermatologist: If you have frequent flares, signs of infection, or need prescription treatments (e.g., topical steroids, calcineurin inhibitors).
