PAPILLION ECZEMA & ATOPIC DERMATITIS 

WHAT ARE ECZEMA AND ATOPIC DERMATITIS?

Eczema

Eczema is a general term for conditions causing inflammation of the skin. Various triggers cause the skin to become dry and itchy, often developing rashes. While eczema can affect a person of any age, symptoms typically start to show up in childhood. It is often experienced in stages, as sometimes this condition can flare up and be more severe at times. 

Atopic Dermatitis

At MOD Dermatology in Papillion, we see that atopic dermatitis is the most common type of eczema. It is characterized by an overreaction of the body’s immune system, which causes rashes and dry, itchy skin. This mostly shows up in places on the skin that bend or experience a lot of movement. Atopic dermatitis for our Papillion clients is often hereditary and commonly linked to hay fever, asthma, or food allergies. 

WHAT CAUSES ECZEMA?

Common factors that can trigger eczema include:

  • Certain foods
  • Cold and dry weather
  • Irritants such as shampoo and scented products
  • Hormonal changes
  • Stress
  • Genetics
  • Environmental factors

SIGNS OF ECZEMA

This non-contagious skin condition often includes dry, itchy skin and rashes. Changes in color and oozing of affected areas might also occur. The severity of eczema varies from person to person. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to see our team of dermatologists in Papillion so we can determine the cause of your eczema and begin your treatment plan for eczema at Papillion’s MOD Dermatology.
