Eczema Cream Singapore

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a long-term skin condition that is quite common in Singapore. Symptoms of eczema can include red, itchy, inflamed skin, or even flaky skin. It can affect people of all ages, from children to adults. Some individuals may find the hot and humid climate in Singapore challenging for their sensitive skin, although the triggers and symptoms can differ from person to person. In severe cases, eczema may lead to hospitalization if complications are not properly managed and left untreated.

Generally, these creams work by targeting various aspects of eczema to provide relief from symptoms, improve the skin’s barrier function and to reduce inflammation. Different eczema creams work differently, depending on the specific active ingredients and formulations. These are some ways eczema creams can help you gain some relief from eczema:

• Moisturizing: Eczema results in a compromised skin barrier function. This leads to dryness and irritation. Eczema creams may contain moisturizing agents to restore the skin barrier function, as well as to retain moisture. Skin hydration may help to reduce itching, scaling and discomfort associated with dry skin.
• Anti-inflammatory properties: Eczema creams may also contain ingredients such as steroids to suppress inflammation. This, in turn, helps to alleviate redness, swelling and itchiness.
• Itch relief: Eczema creams may also contain ingredients such as pramoxine or menthol. These ingredients relieve itch by numbing the skin or providing a cooling sensation, and helps reduce one’s urge to scratch.
• Antibacterial agents: In some cases, eczema may be complicated by bacterial infection. Hence, eczema creams may contain antibacterial agents to help address these secondary infections and to promote healing.
• Skin repair and regeneration: Eczema creams may also contain ingredients that promote skin repair and regeneration such as ceramides and niacinamide. These help to improve skin texture and promote overall skin health.

There is no single "best" eczema cream in Singapore, as the right option depends on each person’s skin type, severity of symptoms, and medical history. Commonly recommended choices include gentle moisturisers to repair the skin barrier, medicated creams such as topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, and non-steroid alternatives for sensitive cases.

It is always best to get a proper diagnosis from a doctor or dermatologist, as they can confirm whether your condition is truly eczema and recommend the most suitable cream or treatment plan for you.
