Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been living with eczema for years, knowing your treatment options is important.
Staying informed empowers you to have meaningful conversations with your healthcare provider, helping you identify potential triggers, establish a skin care routine, and find the right treatment approach for you.
Eczema treatments come in a variety of forms including oral, topical, injectable or ultraviolet (UV) light therapy. Each treatment type works differently to reduce the severity of eczema symptoms. Tap the cards below to learn more about some eczema treatment types.
Prescription topicals are medications applied directly to the skin to reduce inflammation, manage symptoms like dry, irritated rashes, and ease itching. They are typically the first line of treatment, and some specific types can be used in young children.
Phototherapy uses a special machine to emit ultraviolet light onto the skin to help reduce inflammation and itch, as well as increase vitamin D production and bacteria-fighting systems in the skin.
Biologic treatments are specialty medicines made from living cells. Biologics affect specific parts of the immune system involved in a disease, like eczema. Learn more about a biologic option for moderate-to-severe eczema.
Oral JAK inhibitors are oral medications that work by blocking certain signals in the immune system that cause inflammation in eczema.
Finding an approach that works for you comes down to conversations with your healthcare provider about your specific needs and goals.
Specialists like dermatologists and allergists have experience evaluating a wide range of eczema patients. Talking to a specialist can help you find answers about your symptoms and create a treatment plan that works for you.
