Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition driven by immune system overactivity and environmental triggers. It affects nearly 30% of Americans, often beginning in childhood but persisting or recurring throughout life. Symptoms range from mild dryness to severe inflammation, including redness, swelling, intense itching, cracking, and bleeding. Without proper management, these flare-ups can cause infections, scarring, and serious lifestyle disruption.
At Legacy Dermatology, we provide advanced, evidence-based treatments that target eczema from every angle, reducing inflammation, repairing the skin barrier, calming the immune response, and preventing recurrence. Topical corticosteroids and prescription-strength creams control localized flare-ups, while oral medications address severe or widespread eczema. Antibiotics may be required for infected lesions, and antihistamines help break the relentless itch-scratch cycle.
For more resistant cases, we offer light therapy, using controlled ultraviolet exposure to suppress immune overactivity. Paired with medical-grade moisturization strategies, this approach helps restore hydration and minimize long-term flare-ups. Our holistic care model blends advanced medical therapies with lifestyle coaching, addressing stress, triggers, and daily habits that fuel eczema.
At Legacy Dermatology, every treatment plan is customized. We balance cutting-edge dermatology with patient education and compassionate support, ensuring not only symptom relief but lasting improvement in skin health and quality of life.
