Can eczema be completely cured?

Generally, whether eczema can be completely cured mainly depends on the specific type of eczema, the severity of the condition, and other factors. Mild to moderate acute eczema can usually be cured with timely treatment. However, severe or chronic eczema may be difficult to cure completely. If discomfort occurs, prompt medical attention is recommended. A detailed explanation is as follows:

If the eczema is mild or moderate acute eczema and the symptoms are not obvious, it can usually be cured through standardized treatment. It is recommended to timely use medications such as hydrocortisone butyrate cream, fluticasone propionate cream, or tacrolimus ointment under a doctor's guidance.

However, if the eczema is severe or chronic, especially in patients with a family history of heredity or allergies, it is often difficult to completely cure. Even if cured, recurrence may occur upon re-exposure to causative factors, and the condition might progressively worsen. It is recommended to promptly follow medical advice and choose treatments such as wet compresses or aquatherapy, which work through different mechanisms to suppress immune reactions and promote lesion healing.

Patients with eczema should maintain wound hygiene during treatment and keep the affected area dry and clean. Additionally, appropriate clothing is important; it is recommended to wear loose and breathable garments to reduce irritation to the affected skin.
