Eczema Action Plan

Image of an Eczema Action Plan provided by The Paediatric Society of New Zealand. The plan includes step-by-step instructions on managing eczema with moisturizers, baths, and topical steroids.

1. Moisturiser: Use all over the body daily, apply after bathing and whenever skin feels dry. Can replace soap.
2. Bath: Avoid soap or bubble baths. Use a soap-free wash or moisturizer. Option for diluted bleach baths twice a week with specific instructions for dilution.
3. Topical Steroid (milder): For the face, neck, and groin, apply once daily to red and itchy areas and stop when skin returns to normal.
4. Topical Steroid (stronger): For the trunk, arms, and legs, apply once daily to all red and itchy areas. Stop when the skin is normal to avoid recurrence.
