Stop Suffering From Eczema

Eczema is a term for a category of skin conditions that cause incredibly red, itchy, flaky, uncomfortable rash. The rash of eczema, also known as dermatitis, can appear anywhere on your body, such as the hands, neck, face, or other regions. Eczema or dermatitis is a condition that commonly starts in childhood or adolescence but can happen to anyone at any age. The triggers of eczema can include: underlying genetic tendencies, seasonal changes, environmental factors such as allergens or irritant chemicals that come into contact with the skin. At OneSkin Integrative Dermatology, you can expect to have a comprehensive exam and learn about how your immune system is affected by the different triggers causing your eczema. 

Suffering from an itchy, painful rash? Not sure if it is eczema? From diagnosis to treatment, our dermatology providers in Chambersburg, PA will diagnose just what is causing the condition in order to identify the best treatment plan.

Causes

We know that eczema or dermatitis is triggered by a combination of elements. Genetics, the environment, immune system issues, skin barrier defects, and irritants are among the most common causes. Genetics can play a significant role because specific genes may cause you to have very sensitive skin. If you have relatives who suffer from asthma or allergies, you may have a greater chance of developing skin conditions, like eczema.

Symptoms

This condition is frequently characterized by red, dry, or itchy skin in addition to persistent rash breakouts. In most cases, the skin will start to feel itchy before a rash shows up. Many patients develop patches of skin that are continuously itchy, dry, or cracked. These spots may appear anywhere but largely happen in the face, neck, chest, legs, or hands. With kids, spots can show up on the inner creases of their elbows and knees. When the itchy skin is scratched, dry spots and open sores can develop and scab over and may become infected. More serious symptoms can include pus-filled blisters or a yellow to brown crust growing over eczema spots. These symptoms can indicate a bacterial or fungal infection.

My baby had terrible eczema that caused him to be up all night screaming and scratching. We took him to his pediatrician, but the treatment failed. When I contacted Dr. Day's office they provided me an appointment within the week. His skin is so beautiful now. She has also helped me with my skin concerns as well. She has been such a blessing to our community and I am so grateful for the care she has provided.
