Eczema is a long-term skin condition that causes irritation, dryness, and inflammation. It comes in several forms, including papular eczema and varicose eczema. Common symptoms include redness, itching, cracked skin, and flare-ups that may come and go.
Eczema treatments can help people of all ages. Some creams and lotions are suitable for children, while others are for adult use only. A prescriber will review your symptoms and medical history to recommend the most suitable treatment.
Treatment options include eczema lotion, steroid creams, and moisturisers that support the skin’s natural barrier. The best eczema cream will depend on the severity and location of the condition. Regular use of lotion for eczema helps keep the skin hydrated and reduce flare-ups.
Betnovate is a strong prescription steroid cream used for short-term relief of eczema. It works by reducing swelling, itching, and redness during severe flare-ups. A prescriber may recommend it when milder treatments are not effective.
The skin around the eyes is delicate and requires extra care. Some eczema treatments may not be safe for this area. Speak to a healthcare professional for advice on how to treat eczema around eyes safely.
Eczema is not contagious, but it can spread to other areas of the body. Scratching and leaving it untreated may cause symptoms to worsen. With the right treatment, most people can manage eczema and reduce the frequency of flare-ups.

What is the best eczema cream?
The best eczema cream depends on the type and severity of symptoms. Moisturisers, steroid creams, and eczema lotions can all help reduce inflammation and itching. A prescriber can recommend the most suitable option.
Can eczema spread to other parts of the body?
Yes, eczema can spread if left untreated or if the skin is scratched often. While it isn’t contagious, flare-ups can move to other areas without proper care.
What is Betnovate Cream used for?
Betnovate Cream treats inflammatory skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and contact dermatitis. It helps reduce redness, swelling, itching, and irritation during flare-ups.
How do I treat eczema around the eyes?
The skin near the eyes is sensitive, so not all treatments are suitable. A prescriber can suggest safe options and provide advice for applying cream in this delicate area.
Is eczema lotion different from normal moisturiser?
Yes. Eczema lotion is usually fragrance-free and formulated to support damaged or sensitive skin. It helps reduce dryness, itching, and irritation during flare-ups.
