POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy4 years agoA. The treatment for eczema rash depends on how severe the rash is. If the rashes have been spotted early, then preventive action by applying lotions to suppress the itching can be recommended. It is essential to ensure that the rash doesn’t dry up, otherwise the itching will result in flaking up the rash because of excessive friction.To prevent the rash from drying, it is incumbent on the parents to ensure that lotions are applied frequently. It is always better to try out one brand of lotion, and stick to the brand which suits your child best.There are a few doctors who may prescribe anti-histamines (anti-allergic tablets or liquids) to induce sleep as the child may have discomfort due to itching. However, these are remedies to give symptomatic relief, and don’t address the root of the problem.Another treatment method that can be followed is bathing the child in lukewarm or cold water. This is because hot water could dry the skin faster. Once the child is done bathing, you can apply a moisturizer on the damp skin, because then it will get absorbed faster. You can then proceed to dress the child in light clothes made of cotton.
