Suggest Me Medication For Eczema As Its Come Back.
Hello, I am a 27 yea old female. For 2 years now I have had white itchy flaking on my hairline. Due to the constant scratching, it has now left scarring. I also suffer fro dry scalp. My skin doctor said that it s exzema. He prescribed medication that helped for a while but now it s back. What can I do?

Hi,
Eczema could be due to allergy, exposure to irritants or can be seen in families. I advise you to:
- Apply moisturising cream twice daily immediately after taking bath
- Use topical steroid creams such as fluticasone
- Avoid contact of skin with woollen clothes
- Antihistamines in case of allergy
- In severe cases, wet wraps, ultraviolet radiation, immuno-suppressive drugs such as cyclosporin A and vitamin A derivatives can be given
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
