Eczema treatment is basically about calming the inflammation, repairing that leaky skin barrier and preventing future flare-ups. You use moisturisers (emollients) to hydrate and protect the skin, and anti-inflammatory meds like topical corticosteroids or non-steroidal options to reduce itch, redness and swelling. In tougher cases, systemic meds, light therapy or biologic injections can be used to modulate the immune system thats driving the inflammation. Theres no single cure, its about managing symptoms and triggers.
