Eczema

Understanding and Treating Eczema: A Chronic Skin Condition

Eczema, or dermatitis, is a prevalent skin condition characterized by persistent inflammation, redness, and irritation. Affecting around 35 million Americans, eczema can lead to significant discomfort and potential complications like skin infections. While it is not a life-threatening condition, the chronic itching and irritation can significantly impact daily life.

Eczema often manifests as dry, scaly patches that can become cracked and sore. Common triggers include allergens, stress, harsh soaps, and certain fabrics. Recognizing and avoiding these triggers, along with proper skin care, are crucial steps in managing the condition.

At Tru-Skin Dermatology, our experienced dermatologists specialize in diagnosing and treating eczema. We provide personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific symptoms and triggers. Treatment options may include topical corticosteroids, moisturizers, antihistamines, and lifestyle modifications to manage and reduce flare-ups. Working closely with our skin care experts, you can develop a comprehensive management strategy to effectively control your eczema and improve your skin health.

With expert care and guidance from Tru-Skin Dermatology, you can achieve relief from eczema and regain your skin confidence.

While at-home remedies can reduce irritants and relieve itching, patients with eczema should consider clinical treatment if symptoms worsen or persist. Atopic dermatitis is a chronic condition and will not be cured completely. However, clinical treatment can provide longer-lasting relief. Our doctors at Tru-Skin Dermatology will create a personalized plan to address your skin care needs. Schedule an appointment with us if you are experiencing any of the following:

• Your condition worsens
• Symptoms don’t improve with at-home care
• Treatment from your healthcare provider is ineffective
• You have red, infected, or painful skin
