What is Eczema?

Eczema is a chronic skin condition marked by patches of redness, irritation, and dryness. Although it can happen anywhere on the body, the face, hands, feet, and inside of the elbows and knees are where it usually manifests. Often it runs in families linked with allergies and asthma. It can be mild to severe and may affect quality of life significantly in children.

Symptoms of Eczema

The signs of eczema may vary from patient to patient but it generally includes the following symptoms:

Dry, sensitive skin

Severe itching

Red inflamed patches

Rough, leathery, scaly areas

Oozing crusting particularly severe cases

Darkened skin areas

Causes & Triggers

Eczema has been believed to result from a combination or mix of genetic factors together with environmental ones. Children born into families where there has been a known history of eczema, allergies or asthma are more likely to have this disease develop in them. Some common triggers that worsen eczema symptoms consist:

Dry skin

Irritants like soaps, detergents and fragrances.

Stress

Heat & sweating

Infections

Allergens including pollen, dust mites & pet dander

Our Approach to Eczema Care

Full Evaluation

Blossom Pediatric approach to eczema care begins with a thorough evaluation. As such, during your initial consultation our pediatric dermatologists will:

Go through your child's medical history, including family history of eczema, allergies and asthma

Carry out a detailed skin examination to determine the extent and severity of the eczema

Identify potential triggers by discussing your child’s lifestyle, environment and known irritants

Personalized Treatment Plans

We develop a personalized treatment plan after evaluating what our patient needs for instance;

Topical Treatments

Usually at the first line of defense against eczema are topical medications that include: Moisturizers & emollients – These keep moisture in the skin while minimizing dryness. Corticosteroids – These are used to reduce inflammation as well as itching. Calcineurin inhibitors – Are used for areas where corticosteroids may not be suitable due to their sensitivity.

Systemic Treatments

For severe instances of eczema, systemic treatments might be required. For example: Oral corticosteroids – These are prescribed to control severe flare-ups. Immunosuppressant – To minimize overreaction of immune system Biologics – These are targeted therapies that can help control severe cases of eczema
