When it comes to anti-itch sprays for eczema, lidocaine spray is one option that some people have found helpful. A MyEczemaTeam member shared that lidocaine spray (which also contains an antiseptic) gave them immediate itch relief when other creams and ointments hadn't worked as well.
It's worth noting that lidocaine spray is not a cure, but it may help break the itch-scratch cycle and protect against infection.
A few important tips before trying it:
- Check with a pharmacist or dermatologist first
- Do a patch test on a small area to check for any reaction
- Look for a product that combines lidocaine with an antiseptic for added protection Beyond sprays, other options that can help relieve itching include:
- OTC hydrocortisone creams to reduce inflammation
- Topical corticosteroids (prescription strength for more severe cases)
- Biologics or JAK inhibitors for moderate to severe eczema (prescribed by a doctor)
Always check with a dermatologist before trying something new, especially if symptoms are persistent or worsening.
