Managing Eczema as Spring Arrives

April 15, 2015

There are some things in our life that we’ve learned to work around, like a cowlick along our hairline, a prominent freckle, or stray hairs in our eyebrows. But working around red, irritated skin, especially as spring greets us, can be frustrating and even cause self-consciousness. Spring is the season to let skin breathe after a long winter, and Knoxville Dermatology is in your corner when it comes to eczema.

Eczema is inflamed skin that sometimes becomes moist and oozes. Unfortunately there’s no cure for this genetic skin condition, but it is a condition that can be managed. Eczema is often triggered by stress, excessive heat, certain fabrics, and even certain foods. Pollen, mold and dryness also increase your likelihood of a flare-up. For starters, it’s important to keep your body hydrated and nourished with a healthy balance of water, antioxidants and protein.

If you are currently experiencing a flare-up, avoid scratching at all costs. Scratching and rubbing can further irritate your skin and may cause deep infection. Our certified dermatologists can work with you to figure out the best skincare products and methods to help control and manage eczema. Some forms of eczema require just a topical treatment, while others clear up with an oral antibiotic. We want to help you welcome spring with healthy skin that you can feel confident about, so call us today to schedule an appointment.

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.
