What eczema is:
A skin condition in which patches of skin become inflamed and rough. The skin can itch or bleed. Often, there isn’t an obvious cause. Although no cure for eczema exists, we have multiple options to treat it. We will tailor a treatment plan to your individual needs and will keep working until we find the solution for you.
Some treatments we utilize:
- Skin care products that we have found effective in combating the effects of eczema
- Prescription medications such as topical corticosteroids.
- Phototherapy: This is where we use controlled light to treat the areas most affected by eczema.
- Education: We also help you figure out things you can do on your own to help control eczema symptoms. Things like, establishing a daily skin care process, managing your stress level, and keeping from scratching and rubbing your skin. Irritation can make eczema symptoms worse.
While no cure for eczema exists, Dermatology Associates of Northern Virginia, believes that each person deserves an individualized treatment plan that addresses their specific problem and helps minimize or eliminate symptoms.
