Eczema

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a common skin condition characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. It can affect people of all ages but is most prevalent in infants and children. The exact cause of eczema is unknown, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental triggers.
There are several medications available to manage eczema, depending on the severity and individual needs of the patient. Topical treatments, such as corticosteroid creams or ointments, can help reduce inflammation and itching. Moisturizers are also important for maintaining skin hydration and preventing flare-ups. For more severe cases, oral medications such as antibiotics or immunosuppressants may be prescribed. In addition, phototherapy and biologic treatments are emerging options for patients with treatment-resistant eczema.
It is essential for patients with eczema to identify and avoid their specific triggers, such as allergens, irritants, or stress. Implementing a proper skincare routine and wearing breathable, non-irritating clothing can also help manage the condition.
Please consult a healthcare professional for personalized treatment recommendations and to ensure the appropriate use of medications for eczema.
