Eczema Overview
Eczema is a chronic skin condition causing dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. Common triggers include allergies, irritants, stress, and environmental factors. Types of eczema include:
- Atopic Dermatitis: Often starts in childhood, affecting joints like elbows and knees.
- Contact Dermatitis: Caused by irritants like detergents or perfumes.
- Seborrheic Dermatitis: Usually affects the scalp.
- Nummular Eczema: Coin-shaped, dry, itchy patches, often on legs and arms.
Treatment may include moisturizers, topical corticosteroids, antihistamines, or immune-modulating therapies.
Hives Overview
Hives are raised, red welts that appear suddenly and itch intensely. They can be triggered by allergens (foods, medications, insect stings) or physical stimuli (heat, cold, pressure). Hives may be acute (less than six weeks) or chronic (months or years).
How Enticare Can Help
Our ENT doctors in Phoenix can:
- Conduct allergy testing (skin prick or patch tests) to identify triggers.
- Prescribe medications like antihistamines or topical steroids.
- Manage eczema-related dry skin to reduce flare-ups.
- Offer advanced treatments such as allergy shots or sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) to reduce immune system overreactivity.
