I'm dealing with this ongoing issue of frictional eczema, and I'm really unsure about the best medication to use. Could you advise me on what would work best in managing this?

For Frictional Eczema, consider over-the-counter (OTC) topical treatments like hydrocortisone cream (1%) to reduce inflammation, calamine lotion or aloe vera gel to soothe and moisturize the skin, and zinc oxide paste to protect the affected area; if symptoms persist, consult a dermatologist for prescription-strength treatments, such as topical steroids or immunomodulators, and guidance on wound care and prevention strategies.
