Our dermatologists deliver personalized eczema treatments with both skill and compassion, supporting the skin health of your whole family.
Eczema can cause persistent itching, redness, inflammation, and pain, often making it hard to sleep, focus, or stay active.
When symptoms interfere with daily life—such as fatigue, discomfort, or emotional stress like anxiety or embarrassment—it may be time to see a specialist.
If over-the-counter treatments aren’t helping, a medical professional can provide relief and help you.
Our Board-Certified doctors provide expert diagnosis through detailed skin evaluations and medical history review.
Treatment options are personalized and may include:
- Moisturizers
- Prescription creams
- Oral medications
- Light therapy
- Guidance on avoiding triggers
We design all treatments to relieve symptoms, prevent flare-ups, and improve quality of life.
We start with a thorough evaluation to understand your symptoms, triggers, and overall health. From there, we create a personalized treatment plan that can involve moisturizers, prescription medication, or light therapy.
We provide long-term management support so you can maintain healthy skin and a better quality of life. With the right diagnosis and tailored treatment, our team helps you find lasting relief from eczema’s discomfort and disruption.
Atopic dermatitis is a type of eczema. It is a skin condition where the skin is dry and itchy and often presents a red rash.
It can also affect people who have a family history of allergies and asthma, but the cause of this condition is not known, and there is no cure. While there is no cure, there are treatments that will help control it.
Using moisturizing lotions, staying away from harsh soaps, and abstaining from scratching, can help treat and manage this condition.
Our dermatologist will examine your skin and then discuss the best treatment options for you. Then they will prescribe medications that will help ease the discomfort that comes with atopic dermatitis.
You must listen to the doctor and use the medication as prescribed because it will help prevent infection in the secondary layer of skin that often occurs from constant scratching.

Can a dermatologist help with eczema?
Yes. Dermatologists can diagnose eczema, prescribe topical or oral medications, provide light therapy, and guide you in skin care routines and trigger management to relieve symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
When should I see a dermatologist for eczema?
If your symptoms interfere with daily life, sleep, or activities, or if over-the-counter treatments don’t help, it’s time to see a dermatologist. You should also seek care if your eczema is moderate to severe, affects your face, or is linked to other conditions like asthma or allergies.
How do dermatologists diagnose eczema?
Diagnosis is based on a physical exam, a review of symptoms, medical history, and discussion of possible triggers.
What treatments are available for eczema?
Treatment depends on severity and may include:
What are common eczema triggers?
Triggers vary, but may include dry skin, irritants (soaps, detergents, chemicals), allergens (pollen, dust mites, pets), certain fabrics (like wool), stress, sweating, or cold/dry weather.
What is atopic dermatitis?
Atopic dermatitis is the most common type of eczema. It often starts in childhood and causes dry, itchy, inflamed skin. While chronic, it can be managed with treatment and lifestyle adjustments.
Is eczema curable?
There is no cure, but proper treatment and trigger management can control symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and improve quality of life.
Is eczema genetic or autoimmune?
Genetics, immune system overactivity, and environmental factors can all contribute. Many people with eczema also have family members with allergies or asthma.
We will review your symptoms, medical history, and triggers, followed by a skin exam to confirm your diagnosis.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Instead, we’ll create a personalized plan for your needs, goals, and lifestyle.
We’ll monitor your progress, adjust treatments as needed, and guide you in preventing flare-ups for long-term skin health.
