Eczema/Skin Allergies - Eczema Clinic in Maryland and Virginia

ATOPIC AND CONTACT ALLERGIC DERMATITIS/ECZEMA

Our allergy experts specialize in evaluation and treatment of skin rashes and allergy symptoms such as eczema, atopic dermatitis, contact and irritant dermatitis, as well as a variety of other skin allergy conditions. Our skin allergy doctors in Germantown, MD and Manassas, VA are here to help.

These typically chronic inflammatory disorders of the skin most commonly appear as recurring skin rashes, redness, skin swelling, intense itching and dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, and, in severe cases, cracking, oozing, or bleeding.

Atopic dermatitis/eczema (AD) frequently starts in infancy, has a hereditary component, and runs in families. It is frequently associated with other allergic disorders such as food allergies, hay fever, and asthma. With their years of experience our allergy specialists are best suited to manage these complex disorders. Patients with AD are more prone to certain viral and bacterial infections which can be severe and can involve the entire body. Vaccinations for smallpox should be avoided due to the risk of harm to the patient.

Contact dermatitis/eczema can be caused by an allergy or an irritant and occurs upon repeated exposure to the offending agent. Patients with allergic skin disorders require very detailed examination and allergy evaluation, to include both food and irritant allergen exposure. Unlike AD, contact dermatitis/eczema is curable provided the triggering agent can be identified and eliminated from the environment. We utilize all contemporary diagnostic tools, including patch testing, to quickly diagnose and treat allergic skin disorders.

Our expert team at Premier Allergy and Asthma Centers is uniquely qualified to diagnose and successfully manage all acute and chronic allergic skin disorders utilizing the latest advances in the treatment of these conditions. We were one of the first allergy practices in the DC, MD, and VA area to provide the newest breakthrough biologic for the treatment of AD and eczema- Dupixent (Dupilumab) injections. We continuously adopt and offer to our patients all the latest biologic therapeutics as soon as they become available.
