Clearer Skin, Expert Care: Eczema Solutions That Work
Struggling with dry, itchy, or irritated skin that won’t go away? Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a common skin condition that can affect anyone, from infants to adults. Our board-certified dermatologists specialize in diagnosing and treating all types of eczema, offering relief from persistent itching, redness, and flare-ups.
Personalized eczema care from the comfort of home is possible through teledermatology, or visit one of our convenient California clinics for in-person treatment.
What Is Eczema?
Eczema is a chronic skin condition that causes inflammation, dryness, and intense itching. It often appears as patches of red, rough, or scaly skin and can flare up periodically before calming down. Common forms include:
- Atopic dermatitis (the most common type)
- Contact dermatitis (triggered by irritants or allergens)
- Dyshidrotic eczema (small, itchy blisters on hands or feet)
- Nummular eczema (coin-shaped spots)
- Seborrheic dermatitis (flaky patches, often on scalp or face)
While eczema has no single cause, it often results from a mix of genetic, immune, and environmental factors. With the right care, flare-ups can be managed effectively, keeping your skin healthy and comfortable.

When should I see a dermatologist for eczema?

What’s the best skincare routine for eczema?
Use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers and thick moisturizers daily, especially after bathing. Avoid hot water, harsh soaps, and scratching, which can make eczema worse.
