It needs to be continued long term and keep the eczema suppressed. there is no one time cure.. til your body keeps reacting and cause the eczema patch, treatment will have to be continued. After initial control of the problem less aggressive cream can be used for maintainence. If you completely stop then recurrence if very likely to happen. Please consult a qualified certified dermatologist or you can get an online consultation done for followup and continuing treatment. . Hope this is helpful.
