Abstract
In the second of a two-part article on eczema, a nurse consultant in dermatology discusses treatments. The principles of selecting and using emollients and the use of topical corticosteroids are also discussed. The importance of educating the patient on how to use emollients, topical corticosteroids and other treatments is emphasised, particularly in the context of nurse-led eczema clinics.
