Can moisturizer be used with eczema treatments?

Yes, you can use a moisturizing cream along with treatments for eczema. It is actually recommended as moisturizing is the foundation of eczema treatment. It is suggested to apply the medication first and then follow up with the moisturizing cream once the first product has dried. It is best to apply the moisturizer as often as possible. After bathing, gently pat your skin dry instead of rubbing it with a towel. Apply the moisturizer within 5 minutes of finishing your shower for optimal hydration. Avoid overly hot or cold showers, and opt for unscented soap and moisturizer. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask for more guidance.
