Eczema is a chronic condition, meaning there is no permanent "cure," but it can be managed so effectively that the skin appears and feels normal. The goal of clinical products at Derma.pk is to keep the skin in a state of remission and prevent future flare-ups.
The difference lies in the oil-to-water ratio. Lotions have the most water and are thinnest. Creams are thicker and better for moderate dryness. Ointments have the highest oil content and provide the strongest barrier, making them ideal for severe eczema and cracked skin.
Many of the products in our Eczema collection are formulated specifically for pediatric use and are tested by dermatologists. However, always check the product labeling or consult with a professional to ensure the formula is appropriate for your infant's age.
If you are using a standard lotion, it may be evaporating too quickly or lacks the lipids needed to repair the barrier. Transitioning to a ceramide-rich cream and applying it to damp skin will help significantly with long-term hydration.
Yes, but ensure the product is labeled "non-comedogenic" to avoid clogging pores. Many clinical eczema creams are designed to be safe for both the face and body, providing soothing relief for facial dryness or eyelid dermatitis.

While eczema is primarily a skin barrier issue, some people find that certain foods can trigger an inflammatory response. However, it is always recommended to focus on a consistent, clinical skincare routine as the first line of defense.
Avoid hot showers, harsh soaps (use soap-free cleansers instead), synthetic fabrics like polyester, and products containing fragrance or high concentrations of alcohol, all of which can trigger itching and redness.
Yes. In fact, using a high-quality emollient alongside your prescribed medication can help the skin heal faster and may reduce the amount of steroid needed over time. Apply your medication as directed, and use the emollient as your overall barrier support.
With consistent use of clinical-grade topicals, you may feel relief from itching almost immediately. Visible improvement in skin texture and redness typically occurs within 7 to 14 days of regular application.
