[quote=Anonymous]My 16 yo just had a telehealth visit today about this. She's prone to eczema on her hands and it's gotten particularly bad. For right now, we're trying fairly strong hydrocortisone (not sure of the % because I don't have it yet) for a week, then dropping down to 2.5% for another week. Supplementing that with antibiotic ointment both weeks to prevent infection. We're also supposed to replace soaps with Dove or Cetaphil wash, and try at least twice a day use of a good moisturizer like Aquaphor. Plus avoidance of hand sanitizer and other chemical products (The doc says even gloves can be an irritant so try to avoid that as well, so the kid is off cleaning duty for a while...she's thrilled!). Hopefully it helps.[/quote]
