For facial eczema, the most effective ointment should be selected based on the type of eczema and the doctor's advice. It usually includes steroid, non-steroid, and moisturizing and repairing products.
1. Steroid creams: Suitable for eczema with significant inflammation, they can quickly relieve redness, swelling, and itching. However, they should be used under the guidance of a doctor, and long-term application should be avoided, especially since facial skin is thinner; therefore, weak or medium-potency steroids should be chosen and the duration of use should be controlled.
2. Non-hormonal ointments: such as calcineurin inhibitors, are suitable for sensitive areas or recurrent cases. They have relatively few side effects and can be used for maintenance therapy, but may cause slight irritation in the initial use.
3. Moisturizing and repairing products: the foundation of eczema care. Choose a simple moisturizing cream and apply it several times a day to help repair the skin barrier, reduce dryness, and prevent recurrence.
Daily advice: Consult a dermatologist for a clear diagnosis first; follow the principle of "short-term, local" when using medication, and combine with gentle cleansing and moisturizing; avoid scratching and self-medication, pay attention to skin reactions, and adjust care methods in a timely manner.
