Eczema
The Four R's of Eczema Management
In addition to preventing eczema flare-ups by minimizing any known triggers, treatment is also an important part of eczema management. Unfortunately, one remedy alone may not effectively control all symptoms. A multi-level treatment routine is necessary to minimize the severity and duration of eczema flare-ups. The four Rs of eczema management are a simple way to remember this layered approach.
- Recognize
- Dry, red, itchy skin prone to eczema/dermatitis
- Remove
- Remove known triggers such as dirt and bacteria with gentle, soap-free, non-irritating cleansers.
- Restore
- Restore and protect the skin barrier with moisturizing creams to help keep skin well-hydrated and keep irritants out.
- Regulate
- Regulate eczema flare-ups by treating them with a medicated cream that reduces inflammation and moisturizes the skin.
