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]
