Your current medications an oral antihistamine (hydroxyzine) and a potent topical steroid (clobetasol propionate) are highly effective for managing acute eczema flare-ups. The antihistamine helps soothe intense itching, while the steroid ointment rapidly reduces skin redness and inflammation.However, because clobetasol is a very strong steroid, improper or prolonged use can lead to side effects like skin thinning. It should not be used on sensitive areas like the face without medical guidance. Since your eczema has recurred after several years, it is highly recommended to consult a doctor. They can evaluate your skin's current state and ensure you use these medications safely and effectively.
