How do I manage eczema on the face?

Written By Dermatologist Dr Deshan,MBBS(Hons) MMed FRCP (London) FACD

The same principles apply as anywhere else on the body. Avoid irritation/ potential irritants and use a thick and greasy emollient like the QV sting free ointment to help support cracked and dry skin. For any areas which are red itchy or flakey speak to your healthcare professional for advice on anti-inflammatory creams. There are steroidal and non-steroidal options. One difference is that doctors tend to avoid potent medications on the face.
