Eczema on both palms
My mother is in her 60’s and she’s having eczema on both her palms (cracked and itchy) since last year. Is there any med to get rid of the Eczema? Please advise. Thanks.

Thank you for your questions.
Usually, eczme can be treated as following:
Aplication of lotion or cream to keep the skin moisturize especially after bath.
Oleh kerana penyakit ini menjadikan kulit kering dan gatal, losyen dan krim disyorkan untuk memastikan kelembapan kulit. Produk ini digunakan apabila kulit lembap terutamanya selepas mandi agar kulit kekal lembap.
Cold compression to relieve itchiness
Medication- Hydrocortisone 1%, cream or ointment containing corticosteroid to relieve inflammation. However this medication can’t be use on long term die to its side effect
