Eczema
Hands, elbows, knees & face
Every 3 months, sooner during flares
Most insurance and Medicare accepted
Eczema is a skin barrier problem with an immune component. Good daily care and the right prescription calm most flares, and newer biologic drugs help when creams aren’t enough.
Signs to look for
Itchy, dry, rough skin, red or darker patches in the folds of the arms and legs, cracking on the hands, and itch that wakes you at night.
Treatment options
A daily skin care routine, prescription creams and a written plan for flares.
Phototherapy or biologics for moderate to severe eczema, with the prior authorization handled by our team.
Questions we hear
Can children be seen? Yes. Our physician assistant sees children from age 6 with a parent present.
Will I need steroid creams forever? Usually not. Most plans move to non-steroid creams once the skin settles.
This page is general information, not a diagnosis. Results vary from person to person, and every treatment carries some risk. A spot that bleeds, grows quickly or looks unlike your others should be seen within days.
