I am starting to develop eczema behind my knees. What can I do to alleviate the itching?

To help alleviate the itching caused by eczema behind your knees, it is important to keep your skin well moisturized. You can try using a fragrance-free soap, taking short showers, and applying a good fragrance-free moisturizing cream at least twice a day. In addition, you may also consider using over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to help reduce inflammation and itching. If this does not provide enough relief, it is advisable to consult a doctor for a stronger prescription cream.
