What is eczema?

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes the skin to become dry, itchy, red, inflamed, and sometimes cracked or scaly. It is a non-contagious disorder, meaning it cannot be spread from person to person, and is commonly seen in children, though it can affect individuals of all ages. One of the key features of eczema is its chronic and relapsing nature—symptoms often flare up periodically and then subside. Eczema is frequently associated with other atopic conditions such as asthma and hay fever, highlighting its connection to the body’s immune and allergic responses.1

Provider & Prescription Information

Miiskin connects patients with independent dermatologists who provide care through their own private practices. Miiskin does not employ dermatologists and does not sell or distribute medications. Any prescriptions issued by the dermatologists can be filled at third-party pharmacies of the patient’s choice.

What medications are commonly prescribed for eczema?

Dr. Amit Om, board-certified dermatologist, says the medication your dermatologist will prescribe depends on the type, severity, and location of your eczema, as well as your age and medical history. Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition—not an infection—so treatments are aimed at reducing inflammation, controlling itching, and repairing the skin barrier.

Topical corticosteroids

*like fluocinolone acetonide or betamethasone dipropionate

Topical non-steroidal options

*like tacrolimus or pimecrolimus

How to prevent eczema?

Dr. Om says that you can’t always prevent eczema completely (since genetics and immune system factors play a big role), but you can reduce the chances of flare-ups and keep symptoms under control with good daily habits:

IncludedApply a thick, fragrance-free moisturizer (ointment or cream, not lotion) at least twice a day.

IncludedMoisturize right after bathing to lock in hydration.

IncludedUse gentle, fragrance-free cleansers instead of soaps.

IncludedTake short, lukewarm showers (not hot).

IncludedGently pat skin dry—don’t rub.

IncludedUse a humidifier in dry climates or during winter.

IncludedIdentify and avoid personal triggers (dust mites, pollen, certain foods, stress).

IncludedWear soft, breathable fabrics (like cotton); avoid wool and scratchy materials.

IncludedUse mild, fragrance-free detergents for laundry.

IncludedLimit exposure to harsh chemicals, perfumes, and smoke.

IncludedManage stress, which can worsen flares.

IncludedMaintain good sleep habits.

IncludedKeep nails short to reduce skin damage from scratching10.

What patients say about Miiskin

Very happy with this service. Quick and easy. With someone with not the greatest insurance and super busy. This was perfect. Got my prescription next day and great advice for my condition.

I had a great experience with Miiskin – I was able to get my prescription very quickly and their app is easy to use. It was very convenient and their team is very responsive. I highly recommend them and will likely use them in the future for other skin issues.

What a technology! I was very impressed by the speed of communication with a doctor using the Miiskin app. Losing my hair has been my biggest concern, but I didn’t have the courage to reveal my bald spot to a doctor in person. Miiskin solved all my issues instantly. I just took a photo in my own room, uploaded it, and wrote about my concerns. That’s it. The best part is that without insurance, the consultation fee was much lower than any health insurance. I submitted my photo at midnight and received a prescription the very next morning. The doctor at Miiskin was very professional and empathetic, which really helped ease my emotional distress. Although I’m just at the beginning stage of my treatment and haven’t seen significant results yet, I feel reassured and supported. I will definitely upload my progress in 3 to 4 months to show my appreciation for the prescription from Miiskin.

My dermatologist was extremely quick, reviewed my consultation request within 2hrs and I had my Rx the next day! The Miiskin team also responds within minutes and are very polite and communicated concisely. I’ll never make a in person appointment again after experiencing this outstanding and affordable telehealth service!

Quick response from the dermatologist — I wanted a fast turnaround for a skin concern that would be more immediate than going through health insurance, making an appointment, traveling to the doctor.

Frequently asked questions about eczema

Dr. Amit Om answers the most popular questions about eczema.

What causes eczema?

Dr. Om explains that eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Individuals with eczema often have a defective skin barrier that allows moisture to escape and irritants to penetrate, leading to inflammation. Triggers such as allergens, harsh soaps, stress, and weather changes can exacerbate the condition.

What are the best OTC eczema creams and ointments?

Dr. Om says that OTC eczema creams and ointments can help manage eczema by protecting and restoring the skin barrier. Moisturizers that are fragrance-free, gentle, and rich in oils are especially beneficial. Popular options include Aquaphor, Aveeno, CeraVe, Cetaphil, Eucerin, Gold Bond, Lubriderm, and Vaseline. These products can help lock in moisture, reduce dryness, and soothe irritation, making them an important part of daily eczema care.

Is eczema contagious?

According to Dr. Om, eczema is not contagious and cannot be spread from person to person through touch or close contact. It is an inflammatory skin condition related to immune system dysfunction and genetics, not an infectious disease.

How do eczema creams and ointments work?

Dr. Om states that eczema creams and ointments work by restoring the skin barrier, reducing inflammation, and relieving itching. Moisturizers hydrate the skin, while medicated creams, such as corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors, help calm the immune response and inflammation.

What does eczema look like?

Dr. Om describes eczema as red, inflamed, and often itchy patches of skin that may become dry, scaly, or crusted. In chronic cases, the skin may thicken or appear leathery due to repeated scratching.

What can be mistaken for eczema?

Dr. Om notes that conditions like psoriasis, fungal infections, contact dermatitis, and scabies can sometimes mimic eczema due to similar symptoms such as redness, scaling, and itching. Proper diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.

How do you identify eczema?

Dr. Om explains that eczema is identified by its clinical presentation—itchy, red, and inflamed skin, often in the creases of the arms, behind the knees, or on the face in children. A history of allergies or asthma and a chronic course can support the diagnosis.

How to tell the difference between a fungal infection and eczema?

Dr. Om points out that fungal infections often have a well-defined border with scaling and sometimes central clearing, while eczema tends to be more diffuse with poorly defined edges. Fungal infections may worsen with corticosteroids, which usually help eczema. Sometimes, more tests are needed in person to distinguish the two.

What is the best over-the-counter cream for eczema?

Dr. Om recommends using over-the-counter creams containing ceramides, such as CeraVe or Eucerin Eczema Relief. These help restore the skin barrier and reduce itching and dryness.

What is the most effective eczema ointment or cream?

Dr. Om states that prescription topical corticosteroids are typically the most effective treatment for flares. It is important to note that steroids cannot be used for long periods of time safely. For long-term control, calcineurin inhibitors like tacrolimus or pimecrolimus can be helpful, especially for sensitive areas.

What cream makes eczema go away?

Dr. Om explains that no single cream “cures” eczema, but corticosteroid creams are highly effective in reducing inflammation during flares. Consistent use of moisturizers helps prevent recurrence.

What is the difference between eczema and dermatitis?

Dr. Om clarifies that when we discuss “eczema” we are mostly referring to the condition called atopic dermatitis. Eczema is a broader term that includes various types of skin inflammation, such as contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and nummular dermatitis.

What clears up eczema fast?

Dr. Om advises that applying a potent corticosteroid cream as prescribed and using moisturizers multiple times daily can clear up mild to moderate eczema flares quickly, often within a few days to a week.

Is eczema a fungal infection?

Dr. Om confirms that eczema is not a fungal infection. It is an inflammatory skin condition involving immune dysfunction, while fungal infections are caused by microorganisms and require antifungal treatment.

Does vaseline help eczema?

Dr. Om says that Vaseline can be very helpful in managing eczema, especially as an occlusive moisturizer. It locks in moisture, protects the skin barrier, and soothes irritation when applied to damp skin.

How long until eczema clears?

Dr. Om notes that with appropriate treatment, a mild to moderate eczema flare can clear in one to two weeks. However, eczema is chronic, so long-term management is necessary to prevent future flares.

What happens if eczema is left untreated?

Dr. Om warns that untreated eczema can lead to increased itching, skin thickening, pigmentation changes, and a higher risk of infections due to skin barrier breakdown and scratching.

Can stress cause eczema?

Dr. Om acknowledges that stress is a well-known trigger for eczema flares. Psychological stress can worsen inflammation and disrupt the skin barrier, leading to increased symptoms.

What is psoriasis vs eczema?

Dr. Om explains that psoriasis and eczema are both inflammatory skin conditions but differ in cause and appearance. Psoriasis has well-defined, silvery scales and often affects elbows and scalp, while eczema is itchier, redder, and more common in skin folds.

How to calm eczema?

Dr. Om recommends using fragrance-free moisturizers, avoiding known irritants, applying topical steroids during flares, and using cool compresses to soothe itching. Identifying and avoiding triggers is also crucial.

Can eczema spread?

Dr. Om clarifies that eczema itself does not spread from person to person, but new patches can appear in different areas of the body, especially if triggers persist or the condition is not managed properly.
