Anti anxiety medication for eczema?
I just wondered if people have had any luck using anti-anxiety medication to reduce eczema? I know mine is worsened by stress and I do have quite high levels of anxiety so just wondered if this was an avenue worth exploring with my gp
Thanks in advance for feedback.

Hello,
Thank you for your question! When it comes to any new medication, the best option will be to speak to your GP - they can go through with you any potential side effects.
We wish you the best of luck!

Hi, I take hydroxyzine also known as atarax, but this is also known to be used for anxiety. I was prescribed it to take at night time, which does make me relax and I sleep really well! Maybe something to ask your GP about, would not recommend in the day time as I would be asleep!!
Good luck
Good luck
