Eczema — Which Doctor Should I See?

Eczema is a skin condition that causes itching, inflammation, and irritation. The most common type is atopic dermatitis, which often runs in families and is linked to allergies or asthma.

Common triggers include dry skin, irritants (soaps, detergents), allergens, stress, weather changes, and sweating. Identifying your personal triggers helps manage symptoms effectively.

Treatment includes moisturizing regularly, using mild cleansers, applying topical corticosteroids or other medications as prescribed, avoiding triggers, and keeping skin hydrated to reduce itching and inflammation.
