Pain is lessened

Eczema is incurable. Also, scratching can cause complications by causing shallow wounds on the skin that can get infected. An eczema treatment only works by reducing its symptoms which are itchiness and redness of the affected area due to inflammation. Thus, such treatments contain anti-inflammatory drugs. Itchiness is actually slight pain centered in a very small area. Thus, itchiness as well as scratch wound pain is lessened by anti-pain medicine.
