Eczema

---

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition characterized by red, itchy, and inflamed skin. It can affect individuals of all ages and significantly impact their daily lives. At Island Dermatology LLC, our team of skilled skin professionals is dedicated to providing comprehensive care and tailored treatment plans to help you manage and alleviate the symptoms of eczema.

Eczema is a complex condition with various triggers and contributing factors, including:

• Genetics
• Environmental factors
• Immune system dysfunction
• Skin barrier defects

Eczema often presents as dry, sensitive skin with areas of redness, itching, and sometimes oozing or crusting. It typically affects the face, hands, feet, and creases of the elbows and knees, although it can occur anywhere on the body.

Our skin professionals at Island Dermatology LLC recognize that eczema affects each individual differently. We take a personalized approach to treatment, focusing on your specific needs and concerns. 

Our comprehensive eczema management options include:

1. Topical treatments: Prescription-strength creams and ointments containing corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, or PDE4 inhibitors can help reduce inflammation, itching, and redness associated with eczema.
    
2. Systemic medications: In severe cases, our dermatologists may prescribe oral or injectable medications to target immune system dysfunction and provide relief from eczema symptoms.
    
3. Skincare guidance: Our skin professionals will work with you to develop an effective skincare routine, including recommendations for gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and strategies to avoid triggers and prevent flare-ups.
