Eczema can flare up without warning—causing intense itching, redness, and discomfort. If you're in the middle of a sudden episode, fast relief is key. At Grace Health Clinic & Urgent Care, we offer prompt, compassionate care to help soothe your symptoms and restore your skin's health.
Here are five essential steps you can take immediately when eczema flares, and how our expert team can support you every step of the way.
- Cool the Skin Quickly with a Cold Compress
A cold, damp cloth applied to the affected area can reduce swelling, soothe irritation, and ease the urge to scratch. Afterward, gently pat the skin dry and apply a rich, unscented moisturizer to help retain moisture and protect the skin barrier.
- Use Medications That Work for You
Mild flare-ups can often be managed with over-the-counter hydrocortisone creams. For more severe symptoms, prescription medications may be needed. If you're unsure what's best for your situation, our Urgent Care providers are available for same-day evaluation and treatment—no appointment required.
- Identify and Eliminate Triggers
Common irritants like soaps, detergents, pet dander, and certain fabrics can worsen eczema. Our Family Practice team helps patients recognize individual triggers and design a personalized care plan for long-term skin health.
- Hydrate Your Body and Your Skin
Staying hydrated is crucial for managing eczema. In addition to topical moisturizers, proper internal hydration can promote healing. At Grace Health Clinic & Urgent Care, we offer IV Therapy and Cocktail IV Therapy to restore essential fluids, vitamins, and nutrients—helping your body and skin recover more efficiently.
- Manage Stress and Mental Wellbeing
Stress is a major trigger for eczema flare-ups. Through our Behavioral Health services, we provide patients with tools to manage anxiety and emotional triggers, supporting both mental and physical wellness.
