It is important to note that not all moisturizing creams are created equal, and some may even make eczema flare or get worse. It is essential to understand the differences between the three basic types of moisturizers other than lotion — ointments, creams, and skin barrier creams — so that you can properly hydrate your skin. It is also recommended to consult with a dermatologist before choosing an eczema lotion.
