Eczema Treatments
Relief for Itchy, Irritated Skin Starts Here
If you or your child is struggling with dry, itchy, inflamed skin, you may be dealing with eczema—a chronic skin condition that affects people of all ages. At Wallis Dermatology Associates, our board-certified dermatologists provide personalized eczema care and advanced treatment options to help you manage flare-ups, soothe your skin, and improve your quality of life.
What Is Eczema?
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a common inflammatory skin condition that causes the skin to become red, dry, itchy, and sometimes cracked or painful. While it often begins in childhood, eczema can continue into adulthood or develop later in life.
Eczema is not contagious, but it is chronic—and flare-ups can be triggered by everything from allergens and irritants to stress, weather, or even certain fabrics.
Common Symptoms of Eczema
Eczema symptoms can vary by person and severity, but often include:
Persistent itching (sometimes severe)
Dry, scaly, or cracked skin
Red or inflamed patches, often on the face, neck, elbows, hands, or behind the knees
Thickened or leathery skin with long-term scratching
Clear fluid-filled blisters during flare-ups
Skin infections from excessive scratching
If you or your child has recurring skin irritation or symptoms that aren’t improving with over-the-counter products, professional treatment is essential.
What Causes Eczema?
Eczema is thought to be caused by a combination of genetics, immune system overactivity, and environmental triggers. People with eczema often have a weakened skin barrier, which allows moisture to escape and irritants to enter more easily.
Common triggers include:
Fragranced soaps or lotions
Laundry detergents
Heat and sweating
Certain foods or allergens
Stress or anxiety
Dry weather or rapid temperature changes
