Eczema, also called “atopic dermatitis” is a condition characterized by red, dry, itchy skin. Some patients suffer from eczema in infancy and eventually “outgrow” their symptoms, while other patients do not develop symptoms until adulthood. Patients with atopic dermatitis have very dry skin that gets inflamed very easily and then itches, sometimes severely.
How do you treat eczema? Our providers can help counsel patients on how to properly moisturize their skin to prevent outbreaks as much as possible and can prescribe medications to treat the outbreaks once they occur.
