Topical Steroids. One of the most commonly prescribed medications for eczema is topical corticosteroids, or just steroids, which can ease redness and reduce inflammation and itching so that your skin can begin to heal.

I regularly add a cup of epsom salts or magnesium flakes and a few tablespoons of Himalayan salt to my kids baths.
