Four treatments for genital eczema

Advertisements

Genital skin is often thinner and more sensitive than other parts of the body, so when treating eczema, you need to be extra careful to avoid exacerbating irritation. Unless you have an extreme outbreak, you should expect eczema to receive better natural topical treatments in your genital area, such as aloe cream and moisturizers. However, you should use these products with caution and apply them only about three times a day until you see how your skin reacts. If there are no adverse reactions, you can gradually increase the frequency of topical ointment use.

Prescription topical drugs, including corticosteroids, may have extreme side effects, making them less attractive options for treating genital eczema. If you want something stronger, consult your doctor about topical ointments to improve your immune system. Although they can make your skin thinner and cause additional irritation in the initial stages of treatment, you will find that they can also significantly reduce inflammation without the risk of using corticosteroids.
