The body's immune response to allergens, thereby preventing flare-ups.Shots (injections). Injections can be used to treat rashes that come from certain skin conditions. Dupilumab (Dupixent), for example, is an injectable monoclonal antibody used in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. It clears the itch quickly in most patients. Cortisone shots can also be used in more severe cases.Phototherapy (light therapy). This is another treatment that helps some people with eczema. Phototherapy uses ultraviolet light, either ultraviolet A (UVA) or ultraviolet B (UVB), from special lamps to treat people with severe cases.Risks linked to phototherapy include burning (usually resembling a mild sunburn), dry skin, itchy skin, freckling, and potential premature aging of the skin. Your health care professionals will work with you to lessen any risks.Anti-itch products or allergy medications such as antihistamines. Antihistamines, such as Diphenhydramine or Benadryl, can help soothe the itchiness.Immunosuppressive medications. Medications including steroid shots, prednisone, or other drugs can help clear up a rash by suppressing your immune system.Rashes on the skin aren't usually problematic and respond well to treatment. Some possible complications include:Infection. When you scratch an itchy rash, it opens your skin. This allows pathogens such as bacteria to enter, putting you at risk of infection.Anaphylaxis. In addition to a skin rash, some people can have a severe allergic reaction that is life-threatening, also known as anaphylaxis. The extreme swelling that happens in anaphylaxis can close your air passages. An immediate injection with epinephrine (EpiPen) is needed to act against the allergic reaction. If you have an itchy feeling in your mouth or throat with your skin rash, talk to your doctor about the need for an EpiPen.There are ways to lessen your risk and prevent flare-ups such as those associated with atopic eczema:Reduce stress.Avoid scratchy materials (for example, wool) and chemicals that can be triggers, such as harsh soaps, detergents, and solvents.Moisturize often.Avoid sudden changes in temperature or humidity.Avoid situations that cause sweating and overheating.Immediately wash your hands when you come into contact with something you're allergic to.
