Try Mild Hydrocortisone Cream (With Caution): If irritation is really bad, a low-strength hydrocortisone cream may reduce inflammation. But consult a healthcare professional before using steroids near your mouth.
Switch to Fragrance-Free, Gentle Oral Care: Use toothpaste and mouthwash that are free of artificial flavors and harsh chemicals.
Watch Your Diet: Certain vitamin deficiencies (like B vitamins or vitamin D) can influence skin health, so maintaining a balanced diet helps.
When to See a Doctor
If your eczema persists beyond a couple of weeks or spreads, seeing a dermatologist is important. They can provide tailored treatments such as prescription creams or allergy testing to identify triggers.
