An eczema flare is like a fire starting in your kitchen.
This analogy helps explain why it is important to treat the flare as quickly as possible. You would never let a kitchen fire “take care of itself naturally.” The same idea applies to eczema.
Starting treatment early helps control inflammation faster and usually means less medication is needed overall. Waiting too long often allows the flare to worsen, which may require stronger or longer treatment.
Topical steroids along with other non-steroidal medications play an important role in managing eczema flares, especially when used appropriately for a short period of time, as prescribed. When used this way, they are safe and effective in calming the skin and helping it heal.
Once the fire has been extinguished, the next step is to reduce the risk of another flare. For eczema, this includes the following daily skin-care habits:
Bathing and skin care
Laundry and clothing
This is a type of treatment option for environmental allergies which provides a slow cure overtime versus masking the symptoms.

Chronic spontaneous urticaria is a medical condition when someone develops hives and episodes of swelling which recur frequently and last for over 6 weeks.
It looks like an allergy because the problem is occurring with allergy blood cells called the mast cells. Most often auto-antibodies are made against the mast cells causing them to burst resulting in in itchy hives.
