What is Atopic Dermatitis Treatment ?

Atopic dermatitis, commonly known as eczema, is a chronic skin condition that causes dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. It often appears in childhood but can affect people of any age. The condition tends to flare up periodically and may be associated with other allergic conditions like asthma or hay fever.
Don’t let atopic dermatitis affect your comfort and confidence. Schedule an appointment with our skin specialists to receive the best treatment tailored to your needs and achieve healthy, clear, and comfortable skin.

Symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis

  • Dry, scaly skin
  • Intense itching, especially at night
  • Red or brownish patches on hands, feet, ankles, wrists, neck, upper chest, eyelids, and inside elbows or knees
