Eczema/Dermatitis

Specialized in Treatment of Eczema

Eczema is generally a genetic condition, affecting both children and adults alike. There is no definitive cause for eczema, but it is linked to the immune system dysfunction and a breakdown of the barrier cells on the skin. The itch-scratch-rash cycle that comes with eczema will worsen your condition. While the exact cause of eczema remains unknown, we do know certain triggers that can worsen eczema, including:

It’s thought that eczema is part of an “atopic triad,” which also includes hay fever and asthma. The sooner you seek out treatment from a dermatologist, the better off your skin will be.

The term eczema is used to describe all types of dermatitis conditions. The common trait of eczema is that the skin is red and itchy and may peel, weep or blister. The areas on the body where eczema is most commonly found are the face, inside the elbows and backs of the knees, though eczema can really affect anywhere on the body. Eczema symptoms will vary from person to person. A rash caused by eczema can look different depending on which area of the body it’s affecting. One of the defining characteristics of eczema is its intense itch.

WHAT IS  ECZEMA ?

Eczema refers to a group of medical conditions that cause the skin to become inflamed and irritated. There are different types of eczema based on what has caused the condition. These causes can be either external or internal causes. The exact cause of eczema is sometimes difficult to find, but it is thought to be linked to an overactive response by the body’s immune system to an irritant.

WHAT ARE SYMPTOMS?

The skin becomes itchy, there is a red rash; sometimes associated with oozing and crusting of skin. Eczema is mainly diagnosed clinically by a dermatologist, sometimes with the help of certain allergy tests to determine possible irritants and triggers. Consult your dermatologist for early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of eczema.

Many people with eczema will purchase over the counter (OTC) creams, lotions and ointments to treat their skin. Some of these medications may contain allergenic or irritating ingredients that will exacerbate the eczema. For this reason, it’s imperative to consult with a dermatologist prior to using any products on your skin.
