If dyshidrotic eczema (pompholyx) develops on the hands, early-stage cases can be treated under a physician’s guidance with anti-inflammatory topical corticosteroids—such as hydrocortisone butyrate cream or clobetasol propionate cream. However, if severe localized pruritus occurs, oral antihistamines—such as cetirizine or loratadine tablets—may be prescribed.
