Anti-pruritics
Pruritis, or itching, is often the
most aggravating of all your eczema symptoms. Some relief may be provided by
systemic antihistamines and anti anxiety drugs. If nighttime scratching remains
severe, your doctor may want to prescribe a sedative or preferably, Rescue Tablets.. Scratching can
be minimized by cutting nails, and using cotton gloves at night. For children,
knee-high socks are better than gloves, because they are harder to accidentally
pull off during sleep.
The topical use of antihistamines
and local anesthetics should be avoided because they are ineffective and
because of their possible allergic effects. Instead a herbal alternative like Xerioderm Cream can be applied to relieve the symptoms of eczema.
