Figuring Out Eczema

July 29, 2014

The term “eczema” refers to a variety of skin conditions. Usually it involves red, irritated skin that occasionally results in small, fluid-filled bumps that can become moist and ooze. Whatever condition you may be dealing with – atopic, infantile, etc. – your Knoxville Dermatology team is here to help you manage your symptoms.

While there are no ways to prevent the genetic skin condition, eczema can be managed and improved. Avoiding triggers such as pollen, mold and dryness helps diminish flare-ups. Other triggers can include some foods, emotional stress, excessive heat, and certain fabrics and skincare products. Also, make an effort to curb your tendency to scratch at a rash, as scratching and rubbing can further irritate the skin and cause deeper infection.

Our certified dermatologists can find the best treatment options for you. They may recommend antihistamines to help with the itching, ultraviolet light treatment to clear rashes up, or an oral antibiotic to prevent and treat secondary infections. Topical corticosteroids, also called cortisone or steroid creams, are commonly used for treating eczema as well. We’re ready to help you manage your eczema and keep it under control, so call and schedule an appointment with one of our certified dermatologists to determine the best treatment plan for you.

If you have any questions about eczema or about changes in your skin, please call us 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.
