Charting Your Eczema Treatment
In the past 40 years, a number of treatments have gone a long way to managing the terrible discomfort of eczema. However, there is still no cure for eczema and no one treatment has safely or effectively worked for everyone, every time. But there is hope. And there is treatment. Recently, breakthrough advances have been made in the treatment of eczema that appears to target the origin of eczema rather than simply treating the symptoms once they have already started. These new eczema medications, called topical immunomodulators, are steroid-free, so they don't have the same potential limitations of current treatments. If you have any concerns or questions about treatments prescribed for you or your child, talk to your doctor.To help you manage your treatment and monitor your progress, keep a chart of what treatment you are using, the location of the treatment application and the dates you apply the treatment along with any reaction you may notice.
