Overview
Prevention of further trans-epidermal water loss is the cornerstone of management of eczema. Since dysfunctional skin barriers could lead to water loss, daily replenishment of skin moisture is needed. This can be achieved through different modalities such as emollients, occlusives, and humectants. [1]
Eczema Secondary Prevention
- Prevention of further trans-epidermal water loss is the cornerstone of management of eczema.
- Since dysfunctional skin barriers could lead to water loss, daily replenishment of skin moisture is needed.
- This can be achieved through different modalities of moisturizer such as:
- Emollients - softens the skin as the oil fills in the crevices of the skin.
- Occlusives - very good for very dry skin as it thickens the skin layer brought about by the hydrophobic barriers that prevent water loss.
- Humectants - attracts water thereby hydrating the stratum corneum of the skin.
