What to Expect with Eczema
We deal with a lot of skin diseases here at Knoxville Dermatology Group. One of the most common skin conditions we see is eczema. It’s no wonder since it affects more than 30 million Americans. We are here to say that we want to help you manage your eczema.
When you come in, we’ll discuss your symptoms. An eczema rash is different for every person. Generally, people with eczema suffer from dry, sensitive, intensely itchy skin. Some people get leathery patches, others get oozing or even swelling.
We’ll also talk about your flare-ups and figure out what triggers them. Some triggers are associated with allergies from fruits or certain fabrics. Flare-ups can occur when you come into contact with irritants like certain soaps, detergents and disinfectants.
Once we discuss the causes, we can help you effectively manage your symptoms with medical treatments.
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.
