It is hard enough for skin these days as the weather moves from cold to warm. Skin naturally lost moisture throughout the winter and is now trying to balance back out. On top of that, some of you have to deal with eczema. And that just isn’t fair.

Eczema is a skin condition characterized by dry, flaky and itchy skin. Little red patches can pop up anywhere on the skin and drive you crazy with the nonstop itching. It is not contagious, but you can get it from simple things like washing dishes without wearing gloves and genetics.

Good skincare is a key component in controlling eczema. For some people with mild eczema, modifying your skin care regime and making a few lifestyle changes could help clear up the condition. On the other hand, more severe eczema may need medication like prescription-strength creams or pills to control its irritating symptoms.

We would love to help you ditch the itch! Call today at 865-690-9467.

Skin health is an important part of total body wellness. Schedule an appointment with one of our board certified physicians to get your skin the care it needs so it can reach its fullest, healthiest potential.
