Eczema Treatment –

Description

There’s a good chance that if your parents suffered with the skin disease called eczema, you’re at risk of developing the itchy red skin condition too. Eczema isn’t something that you catch or develop due to poor hygiene. But only your trained dermatologist at Century Medical and Dental Center in Brooklyn can successfully diagnose this common skin condition and recommend the best course of treatment. You need to rule out other causes of your discomfort before you try any alternative treatments. And with so much false information out there, you need to hear your options from a trained and caring professional who listens to your concerns before treating you.

Eczema is a common skin disease that causes itchy, inflamed, dry, red skin. Although most common in children, it can appear at any age. Also known as atopic dermatitis, this rash can be localized or cover your entire body. It frequently appears in conjunction with hay fever or asthma. Eczema can be extremely itchy and even painful. It can make sleeping difficult, and excessive scratching can lead to serious skin infections.

While a complete cure isn’t yet available, proper treatment can minimize the symptoms. An appointment with your Brooklyn dermatologist at Century Medical and Dental Center ensures that you receive a correct diagnosis and the latest, most effective treatments.

Eczema Symptoms on Your Skin

Although the disease manifests itself differently person to person, some of the most common and identifiable symptoms include:

• Dryness of your skin to the point that it becomes scaly and leathery
• Itching that’s often most extreme at night
• Red or brown patches of skin
• Blisters and bumps that can leak fluid when scratched

These symptoms tend to appear on different body parts at different ages. For example:

• Babies’ symptoms tend to be the worse on the neck, scalp and face.
• Children experience symptoms most frequently on the abrasive joints of the body, like the insides of the elbows or knees
• Adults typically find their symptoms on the hands, but eczema can appear anywhere

What Causes Eczema?

Though researchers have yet to discover the precise cause of the disease, it appears to be related to specific genetic characteristics that make your skin more susceptible to environmental factors. It’s non-contagious and tends to run in the family.

If you suffer from eczema, your skin may be more sensitive to allergens, chemicals and other environmental pollutants. Food allergies can also cause an outbreak in children. Children whose parents suffer from hay fever or asthma are more likely to develop eczema. Half of the severe eczema patients eventually experience asthma, while two-thirds suffer from hay fever.
