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
What are the different types of eczema?

Atopic dermatitis
The most common type. Causes dry, itchy, inflamed skin, often on the face, neck, elbows, knees, hands, and feet.2

Contact dermatitis
Triggered by irritants or allergens (like soaps, chemicals, nickel, or poison ivy). Leads to redness, itching, burning, or blisters.3

Dyshidrotic eczema
Small, very itchy blisters on hands and feet, often from stress, allergies, or dampness.4

Nummular eczema
Round, coin-shaped patches that may ooze or crust, usually on arms, legs, or torso.5

Seborrheic dermatitis
Affects oily areas (scalp, face, chest). Causes redness, dandruff, or greasy yellow scales. Known as cradle cap in infants.6

Stasis dermatitis
Appears on lower legs with poor circulation or varicose veins. Causes swelling, redness, itching, and sometimes ulcers.7

Provider & Prescription Information

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.
For mild to moderate eczema
For severe eczema flares or cases
that do not respond to topical treatments

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:
Apply a thick, fragrance-free moisturizer (ointment or cream, not lotion) at least twice a day.
Moisturize right after bathing to lock in hydration.
Use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers instead of soaps.
Take short, lukewarm showers (not hot).
Gently pat skin dry—don’t rub.
Use a humidifier in dry climates or during winter.
Identify and avoid personal triggers (dust mites, pollen, certain foods, stress).
Wear soft, breathable fabrics (like cotton); avoid wool and scratchy materials.
Use mild, fragrance-free detergents for laundry.
Limit exposure to harsh chemicals, perfumes, and smoke.
Manage stress, which can worsen flares.
Maintain good sleep habits.
Keep nails short to reduce skin damage from scratching10.
