Zinc compound paste is often used for eczema as it has a drying effect on oozing lesions and can help reduce inflammation. Calamine lotion may help alleviate itching but does not have the same drying effect. Talcum powder and corn starch may actually exacerbate oozing lesions by creating a moist environment.
