Eczema Treatment
Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis) Treatment
Eczema is a chronic condition characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. It occurs when the skin barrier is compromised, allowing moisture to escape and irritants to enter. Our dermatological approach focuses on two main goals: immediate relief of symptoms (stopping the itch-scratch cycle) and long-term repair of the skin barrier. We utilize prescription anti-inflammatory creams, light therapy (phototherapy), and specialized moisturizers to manage flare-ups and maintain healthy skin.
