What Is Eczema?

Eczema represents a series of skin conditions that are brought on by various allergic reactions or at times from the body's response to a weak immune system. The outcome may lead to inflammation of your skin, redness, and itchy patches very similar to dermatitis. In many cases, the inflammation itself is merely dermatitis. This may occur anywhere on your body, including the hands, face, neck, or elsewhere. Atopic dermatitis is the most prevalent type and is usually the consequence of an allergic response. This condition generally starts in childhood. At Essential Dermatology Group in Bedford, TX, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Calvin Williams will strive to diagnose precisely what is causing the condition so that an accurate treatment plan can be made and carried out.

What Are the Symptoms of Eczema?

This condition is typically characterized by red, itchy, dry skin as well as persistent breakouts. Generally, the skin will begin to feel itchy before a rash shows up. Most patients encounter patches of skin that are chronically itchy, dry, or cracked. These spots can appear anywhere but largely happen on the face, neck, legs, or hands. With kids, spots can show up on the inner creases of the knees and elbows. When your skin is scratched, dry spots and open sores with scabs could develop and can become infected. Serious symptoms could include pus-filled blisters or a yellow to light brown crust growing over eczema spots, which may be a sign of a bacterial infection.

What Are the Treatment Options for Eczema?

Eczema can be treated with a variety of over-the-counter or prescribed medications, including medicated baths. Hydrocortisone ointments and creams are topical medications that can be used, as well as antihistamines, such as Benadryl, to help alleviate symptoms. Prescription medications, like immunomodulators or steroid creams, can help those with moderate to severe eczema. A corticosteroid may also be prescribed. In severe conditions, ultraviolet light treatment or laser treatment might also be used on the affected areas. When other solutions have failed, immunosuppressants could be prescribed as these drugs suppress the immune system.

Dr Williams is very professional and he's not about too waste your time. I've always had eczema and acne. I went in concerning some new issues that had developed after pregnancy. He's the first doctor to do a biopsy so he knows exactly what's wrong instead of guessing. My arms and face have already started to clear up after 2-3 weeks. He's one of the best!!!

Is eczema contagious?
No, eczema can't be passed from person to person. But, if you have the condition in one region of your body, it can impact additional areas. As a result, it is a good idea to search for solutions early on in order to prevent it from transferring to other sections of your body.
What causes eczema to reoccur?
Stress and anxiety can trigger an eczema flare-up. It is possible for both anxiety and stress to lead to an irritating reaction in the body, prompting eczema. Further common eczema causes include cleaning agents (such as detergents and soaps), environmental allergens, cold weather, and certain types of clothing materials.
