How To Prevent Eczema & Ways To Treat It - a podcast by Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson

Pediatrician, Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson, and pediatric dermatologist, Dr. Markus Boos, explain causes of eczema and ways to treat flares. Protective, emollient barrier creams used daily are key to preventing eczema. Always go for the “scoop-able” creams when you can (lotions just have more water). Often topical steroids (they are safe to use for 10 days at a time) help dramatically. More on bleach baths, staph overgrowth, and ways to control itching, too.
