Patients with eczema often have dry skin. A first step in treatment is to keep the eczema calm with basic ointment. In this Divi on ointments for eczema, patients are given an initial animation explaining basic ointment and the necessity of using basic ointment daily.

If eczema does not calm down with the application of basic ointment, a patient can use hormone ointment. With hormone ointments, it is important for a patient to be clear about how much ointment to use. With hormone ointment, this is indicated by the number of fingertip units per body part. A second animation explains to patients what hormone ointment is and what a fingertip unit means.
