Eczema and rashes

Itchy, dry, or inflamed skin has many causes. A dermatology visit can help sort out eczema, contact dermatitis, and other common rashes and put together a care plan.

Concerns we often see

• Eczema (atopic dermatitis) in children and adults
• Dry, itchy skin and seasonal flares
• Contact dermatitis and skin allergies
• Rashes from plants such as poison ivy or poison oak
• Hives and other sudden eruptions

What happens at the visit

The dermatologist will examine the rash, ask when it started and what seems to trigger it, and discuss treatment. That may include skincare guidance, prescription creams, or further evaluation if the diagnosis is unclear. Bring a list of products you have used on the skin and any medicines you take.

Infants and children with eczema can be seen in pediatric dermatology.
