Atopic Dermatitis is one of the most common skin diseases that causes dry, itchy skin. Atopic dermatitis is frequently known as eczema and includes certain kinds of inflamed skin conditions including allergic contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, photoallergic dermatitis and stasis dermatitis. Eczema can be red, blistering, oozing, scaly, brownish, or thickened and usually itches. A special type is called atopic dermatitis or atopic eczema.
There is no cure, but it can be at least parially managed with a good daily skin care regimen. Topical medications, topical steroids or immunomodulators can treat the inflammation and help alleviate the itch. There are many different strengths and types of these medications and we can help determine the right one for you.
