About Eczema Treatment Services
Eczema is more than dry skin, and the itch-scratch cycle can affect your sleep, your focus, and your confidence.
At Charleston Dermatology, our physicians and providers work to identify what’s triggering your flare-ups, whether that’s environmental irritants, allergens, stress, or a compromised skin barrier that needs targeted repair.
Treatment plans are built around your skin, not a one-size-fits-all routine, and may include prescription topicals, oral medications, biologic therapies, or light therapy for stubborn cases. Lasting relief starts with the right diagnosis. Schedule a visit and let our team build a plan that actually works for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is eczema?
Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes dry, itchy, red patches of skin. It most often appears on the hands, inner elbows, behind the knees, and on the face and neck, and it tends to flare up and calm down in cycles.
What causes eczema?
Eczema is linked to a combination of genetics, an overactive immune response, and a weakened skin barrier that lets moisture out and irritants in. Common triggers include harsh soaps, fragrances, certain fabrics, sweat, stress, and dry weather. Identifying your personal triggers is a key part of getting flare-ups under control.
How is eczema treated?
There is no single cure for eczema, but it can be managed well with the right plan. Treatment may include daily moisturizing routines, prescription creams or ointments, oral medications, or newer biologic injections for moderate to severe cases. If over-the-counter creams haven’t brought relief, make an appointment with one of our providers to build a regimen just for you.
