Consider hydrocortisone cream, a milder corticosteroid, for less severe inflammation. This is often readily available over-the-counter.
Pimecrolimus (Elidel) and tacrolimus (Protopic) offer non-steroidal options, suitable for eczema treatment. These creams modulate the immune response.
For mild skin irritation, try colloidal oatmeal baths or lotions. The soothing properties of colloidal oatmeal can reduce itching and inflammation.
Aloe vera gel provides natural anti-inflammatory and healing properties, offering relief from minor skin irritations.
Always consult a dermatologist before switching treatments. They can assess your specific needs and recommend the best alternative for your condition.
