What Is Eczema?
Eczema is a common skin condition that causes red, itchy, and inflamed patches on the skin. It can be triggered by allergic reactions, environmental factors, or immune system issues. Eczema, also known as dermatitis, may affect various areas of the body, including the face, hands, neck, and legs. The most prevalent type is atopic dermatitis, which often starts in childhood. At Younger Medical Health and Wellness in Queen Creek and Scottsdale, AZ, our experienced team is dedicated to identifying the root causes of eczema and developing effective treatment plans to address your symptoms.
How Is Eczema Treated?
Our team offers a wide range of treatments for eczema, customized to each patient's needs. Over-the-counter creams, like hydrocortisone, are often recommended to help reduce inflammation and soothe irritated skin. For more moderate to severe cases, prescription treatments, such as steroid creams or immunomodulators, may be necessary. In some situations, oral medications, like corticosteroids, are used to manage flare-ups. For more persistent cases, we may suggest advanced treatments, like ultraviolet light therapy or laser treatment, to target affected areas. If other approaches are not successful, immunosuppressants can be considered to help control the immune response and alleviate symptoms.
At Younger Medical Health and Wellness, we offer eczema treatments for kids, adolescents, and adults, providing personalized care to address each patient's specific condition.
What Are the Symptoms of Eczema?
Eczema can cause a variety of symptoms, which may vary in severity, including:
- Red, inflamed skin
- Dry, flaky patches
- Persistent itching
- Thickened or rough skin
- Rashes, particularly on the face, neck, hands, legs, or inner creases of elbows and knees
- Open sores or scabs that may become infected
- In severe cases, pus-filled blisters or yellow/brown crusts may indicate a possible bacterial infection
Children often develop eczema in the creases of their elbows and knees. Our team understands the discomfort this can cause, and we work to provide the best treatments, such as eczema treatment creams, to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.
Younger Medical Health and Wellness Reviews
I have been going here for almost 2 years and have lost over 110 lbs. Ariel and Valarie closely monitor my health each month which helps me ensure that I’m losing weight the right way while gaining muscle mass. So glad I found this local, professional office!
Actually listened. Got an answer I've been looking for, for years, in two visits. Direct, to the point, knowledgeable.
In and out at a reasonable time, Dr Young was very friendly and personable. Got all of my concerns taken care of and gave me some great recommendations of places to ride motorcycles with my wife and I. Overall a great experience!
Really great listener and explains everything really thoroughly!
Dr. Weston Young is absolutely our favorite family PCP ever. He is professional, kind, attentive, respectful, knowledgeable, current, relevant and very personable! He respects each individual patient and their preferences. He gives options but leaves decisions up to the individual patient. All of our friends who also go to him agree. He’s a gem whom we highly recommend!
