What is Eczema?

Eczema is a condition where the skin becomes dry, itchy, and inflamed due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The exact cause is not fully understood, but it is believed to be linked to an overactive immune response to irritants and allergens. People with eczema often have a compromised skin barrier, which makes their skin more sensitive to triggers such as soaps, stress, and certain fabrics. Symptoms can range from mild dryness to severe itching and thickened, cracked skin.

How do you treat Eczema?

Treatment for eczema focuses on managing symptoms and reducing flare-ups.

Eczema flare-ups are generally treated with anti-inflammatory therapies like topical steroids. Healthcare providers may also recommend over-the-counter antihistamines like Benadryl to reduce itchiness.

But eczema care is also about preventing flare-ups through moisturizing your skin regularly and avoiding common triggers like fragrant soap or detergent, wool fabric, and temperature extremes.

Is a chat-visit right for me?

You may be a good candidate for a chat-visit with Well Revolution if:

  • You’re 18-64 years old.
  • You have a prior diagnosis of eczema (atopic dermatitis).
  • You’re not experiencing oozing or bleeding from the affected area.
  • You don’t have eczema on your eyelid or around your eyes.
  • You don’t have other signs of infection, like a fever or more pain, swelling, or redness than usual.
  • You’re not experiencing a severe flare-up that may require in-person care.

If you’re experiencing severe symptoms or signs of infection, please seek in-person care immediately.
