What is Eczema?
Eczema can result from an overactive immune system that causes the skin to be dry and itchy. It is not contagious and cannot be spread from one person to another.
Different types of Eczema:
- Atopic dermatitis
- Contact dermatitis
- Dyshidrotic
- Nummular
- Seborrheic dermatitis
- Stasis dermatitis
Eczema can be caused by the interaction between your environment and your genes. When an outside allergen triggers the body, the immune system switches on and causes a flare-up. No matter what type you are experiencing, our dermatologist can address the uncomfortable symptoms and help to manage, prevent scarring, and reduce the severity of future flare-ups.
Who Can Get Dry, Itchy, and Inflamed Skin?
Symptoms of Eczema, like dry, itchy, and inflamed skin, does not discriminate. The young and old can experience flare-ups of their symptoms. In addition, those with a family history have an increase in the onset of symptoms. There is a genetic factor to the condition.

These suggestions may consist of the following:
- Becoming aware of your skin triggers
