Moisturising agents


Moisturising the skin is the mainstay of treatment for eczema. This means developing a good daily routine and trying out different products until you find ones which suit you best. It also means a lot of hard work for parents taking care of children, both in maintaining good skin care and developing good routines for the future when they are old enough to take care of themselves. Research has shown that people who moisturise their skin regularly require fewer steroids.
