Eczema & Dry Skin
Eczema is a prevalent and often challenging inflammatory skin disorder characterized by dry, itchy, and scaly patches that appear on the surface of the skin.
It tends to disproportionately affect those with a family history of eczema or individuals who have experienced asthma, making it especially common among this demographic.
In young children, eczema can prominently manifest on the cheeks, causing significant discomfort that may interfere with their daily activities and overall health.
How is Eczema Treated?
At FDL Dermatology, we understand that managing eczema requires a comprehensive approach tailored to each individual’s needs.
Our treatment plans may include a combination of topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, emollients and moisturizers to hydrate the skin, and antihistamines to alleviate itching.
In more severe cases, we may recommend phototherapy or systemic medications that work from within to control the condition. We focus not only on alleviating symptoms but also on identifying and avoiding triggers such as specific allergens, irritants, or environmental factors, ensuring a holistic management strategy to help you achieve healthier skin and improved quality of life.
