ECZEMA DOCTOR NYC
ECZEMA DERMATOLOGIST
Our eczema doctor in NYC can help you find the proper eczema treatment. Eczema affects millions of people every year, making it one of the most common skin conditions. Eczema has many forms but often appears as dry, cracked skin. Oozing, crusting, and having a rash-like appearance are also signs of eczema. Eczema occurs most often in children, but it can be present in adults, as well. Because eczema has so much variability, it is best to consult our NYC eczema dermatologists. At Dermatology, Laser & Surgery of Carnegie Hill, our eczema specialists can help determine what type of eczema you have, and what type of treatment would be best for you.
WHAT IS ECZEMA?
Eczema is a chronic skin condition that is best managed through long-term treatment. Eczema is considered an immunological condition because it stems from disruptions in the immune system from allergens, environmental factors, and irritants. Dry skin, ingredients in shampoos or soaps, sweating, temperature changes, certain foods, or stress can all cause eczema. These disturbances cause the skin to flare up and itch. Eczema can affect the face, neck, inner elbows, behind the knees, and the hands and feet. Eczema typically begins in childhood, but it can occur in adulthood, too. Our eczema doctors offer many medications and therapies that can stop or reduce the symptoms of eczema.
