Eczema (also called dermatitis) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes:
The most common type is atopic dermatitis, but other forms include dyshidrotic eczema, nummular eczema, contact dermatitis,asteatotic eczema, and hypersensitivity dermatitis. Hypersensitivity dermatitis may be caused by medications, infections/infestations and/or allergies.
Because eczema can resemble other skin conditions, an accurate diagnosis is essential before starting treatment.
At MedDerm, treatment is tailored to the severity of your condition and how your skin responds to therapy.
For mild to moderate eczema, we may recommend:
