How do you get rid of redness from eczema?

I have eczema all over my legs. I was having problems with it being very dry, but I started using baby oil gel after each shower and that got rid of the dryness, but it hasn’t done anything for the redness. Thats the only problem I have with it now. Have any suggestions, other than going to the doctor, to get rid of it?? Thanks!

I believe there are over the counter skin cremes with low concentrations of ’steroids’ that can help. Stop at a pharmacy and ask to speak with the pharmecist about what they carry
the low concentration steroid will work locally where you place the creme to reduce the redness and itching – and reduce the flare-up in general – but make sure there are no open regions/cuts/deep scratches, if so you may wan to apply a bit of neosporin first to reduce the risk of infection
hope you feel better
