Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history of eczema, my treatment advice is -
1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a potent steroid cream like clobetasaol cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine for itching.
4. Other treatment options are oral vitamin A, oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
