Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
How Can Eczema Along With Itching On The Arms And Legs Be Treated?
I have eczema, bad eczema, itchy, swelling, on my arms, legs, and back. I m supposed to shower with chlorhexidrine sponges before my hip surgery next week. I m worried the chlorhexidrine will exacerbate my excema. I could use it on my hip and thigh, just don t want it on my eczema.
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Better to consult dermatologist and get done clinical examination of eczema. You will need steroid cream. Mometasone cream twice daily is the treatment of choice for eczema. It is better to clear eczema before surgery. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
