Eczema is a common skin condition that causes red, itchy, inflamed patches of skin to appear on the body. Also called atopic dermatitis, eczema is most often seen on infants and young children, but can also affect men and women from their teen years through adulthood. While eczema most commonly appears in patches of red, inflamed skin, it can also appear in rough, thickened areas of skin and small, raised bumps filled with fluid. If you believe you have eczema and have dry, crusty, or yellow patches on your skin, we encourage you to come in for treatment at your earliest convenience, as this can be a sign of infection.
The cost of your eczema treatments at Suncoast Skin Solutions is going to vary depending on the type of treatment you choose to receive, the extent of treatment needed to achieve your desired results, and your health insurance coverage. To find out a more accurate cost for your eczema treatments for dry patches, we encourage you to come in for a private consultation with one of our expert staff members.
Unfortunately, research has still yet to find an exact cause for the onset of eczema. That being said, there are a number of factors that may contribute to flare-ups of eczema on the skin, including chemicals found in detergents or soap, synthetic fabrics, excessive sweating, changes in temperature, food allergies, stress, animal dander, and sudden changes in temperature.
