Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)

Eczema affects individuals of all ages and is often hereditary and linked with allergies. It results in dry, flaky skin, blisters or small bumps and — in severe instances — can cause painful, bleeding cracks.

What is it?

While many people use the term eczema to describe their atopic dermatitis, eczema refers to a broader spectrum of skin disorders. Atopic dermatitis, the most prevalent type of eczema, can affect virtually any part of the skin. This condition is frequently seen in infants and young children, causing rashes on their cheeks and chin. However, it can impact people of all ages and occur anywhere on the body. 


People with eczema endure flare-ups, during which the rash becomes inflamed, itchy, uncomfortable and painful, interspersed with periods of remission that span weeks, months or even years. 


Although eczema is not contagious, it can be rather uncomfortable and painful.

How is it treated?

While there may not be a definitive cure for eczema, emollient treatments—such as petroleum jelly and skin-hydrating products—can often relieve its symptoms. 


Our board-certified dermatologists can accurately identify which of the seven varieties of eczema you may be suffering from and devise a tailored skin health regimen with practical treatments such as:

  • Individualized skin care regimen
  • Moist bandage therapy
  • Identifying and managing trigger factors to minimize outbreaks
  • Prescribed topical medication
  • Phototherapy
  • Systemic (spreading throughout the body) medication

Many innovative treatments have significantly improved efforts to diminish (and occasionally eradicate) symptoms. Eczema patients who have not found relief with previous treatments might discover that these newer medications offer effective results and benefits. Begin your path to relief today by scheduling a consultation at one of our Skin Care Centers in Lake Forest, Glenview or Chicago, Illinois.

THE TREATMENTS BELOW CAN HELP WITH ECZEMA (ATOPIC DERMATITIS):

The exact cause of eczema is still unknown. However, genetics and environmental factors have been shown to play a role in its development.

Eczema is a name for a group of conditions that leave the skin itchy, red, or inflamed. Various types of eczema include contact dermatitis (the most common), atopic (genetic), adult or infantile seborrhoeic, discoid, pompholyx, asteatotic, and varicose.
