Project Description
The cause of eczema is still unknown, but it has shown to be somewhat connected to genetic factors. In addition, there are several environmental factors that can cause eczema symptoms to flare up, including irritants, allergens, hot and cold temperatures, inflammatory foods, hormone changes, and more. It is important to know that eczema is not just a skin condition, it can impact many other areas of your life and your overall well-being.
Finding relief for eczema can be a delicate process. We recommend sticking to a skincare regimen designed for sensitive skin. Eczema is very reactive to fragrant soaps, detergents, or ingredients like retinol or AHA. In addition, the correct topical steroids or other treatments need to be on hand in case of a flare-up. Eczema requires major moisturizing because it is a condition that causes extremely dry skin. We recommend moisturizing several times a day to keep your skin moist. There are several topical over-the-counter treatments, but there are also effective solutions such as medication, light therapy, or laser treatments that can provide fantastic relief for patients. If you are suffering from eczema, the medical team at Kwan Dermatology can help manage your eczema with the latest technology and treatments available, customized to fit your unique needs.
