Hello,
Symptoms of scalp eczema or eczema on your body can be effectively managed, but the condition cannot be cured completely.
Creams or ointments which contain an antibiotic, an antifungal and a steroid should be used regularly both on scalp and on the body.
An antihistaminic such as fexofenadine 180 mg once daily and an anti-fungal such as fluconazole for a longer period are advised.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Prabhash Verma, General & Family Physician
