What Is Eczema?

Eczema is a form of dermatitis called atopic dermatitis that usually manifests itself on the arms, behind the knees, and hands although it can show up on other parts of the body. Though it is a chronic condition, those with eczema usually deal with recurring bouts that may be triggered by many factors, such as environmental irritants and stress.

Causes, Symptoms, Triggers

Eczema is somewhat of a mystery because it has no specific known cause. However, there is suspected to be a correlation between dry skin and immune system weaknesses. Aside from its causes, eczema can present itself in several ways. Symptoms may include:

  • Thickened skin
  • Dry, cracked skin
  • Rash 
  • Tiny, raised bumps
  • Darkening of the skin around the eyes
  • Itchiness
  • Skin sensitivity and rawness from scratching
  • Oozing and crusting

Treatments help suppress these symptoms, but avoiding certain things that could trigger a flare-up is also essential. Common eczema triggers include:

  • Soaps and detergents (shampoo, washing liquid, bubble bath)
  • Environmental factors (cold or dry weather, dampness, etc.)
  • Dust mites
  • Pet fur
  • Pollen 
  • Molds

 

Our Approach To Eczema Treatment

Every eczema case is different, so our approach to treatment varies based on the individual. We start the process with an initial visit, at which time we start getting to know you and your specific needs. 

At this point, we discuss your current skincare needs with you and any questions or concerns you might have. We’ll examine areas of concern.

With this information in mind, we diagnose your skin condition and develop the best course of treatment to alleviate discomfort and reduce inflammation to help avoid future flare-ups. We may recommend various treatment plans, including antibiotics, corticosteroids, antihistamines and light therapy. There are newer therapies available that may work for you when nothing else has.

After the initial visit, we monitor your treatment plan and its effectiveness with follow-up visits. As time progresses, we may need to adjust your treatment plan or recommend alternative options depending on how your skin is progressing. 

We adjust our recommendations to accommodate the best possible result based on your unique skin condition, so you can proceed with peace of mind knowing you’re in the best hands.
