Eczema Treatment & Cures – Burbank, CA - Eczema is a form of dermatitis or inflammation of the epidermis (the outer layer of the skin). Some people are born with a tendency to have dry, irritated or itchy skin. This can be exacerbated by dryness of the environment, certain cleaning products and/or allergic skin reactions. If your dermatologist becomes familiar with your skin type he or she may recommend cleansers, moisturizers, and detergents you can use and help prevent outbreaks of irritated skin. Excessive scratching of one’s skin can also lead to infection, loss of skin pigmentation and scarring.

Eczema affects about 10% to 20% of infants and about 3% of adults and children in the U.S. When part of the skin is affected, eczema is almost always itchy. Itchy, irritated skin is more common than most people realize and it can be prevented or treated quickly by the dermatologist. With proper treatment, the disease can be controlled in the majority of sufferers.
