Eczema

Eczema refers to a group of inflammatory skin conditions that cause redness, itching, small bumps or blisters, and scabbing.
It can have many different causes, including allergies, dryness, irritants, or stress.

Diagnosis is made by examining the skin’s appearance and progression over time.
If necessary, allergy testing may be performed to help identify underlying triggers.

• Avoiding or reducing the causes and aggravating factors such as irritants and excessive dryness.
• Using topical steroid creams and moisturizers to control inflammation and restore the skin barrier.
• Taking antihistamines when itching is severe.
• In some cases, ultraviolet light therapy (excimer lamp treatment using the Flexis Fit system) is applied to reduce inflammation and itching safely and effectively.
