Symptoms
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.
Key Points:
- •Recurring skin rashes and redness
- •Intense itching and dryness
- •Crusting, flaking, and blistering
Diagnosis
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 allergen and irritant agents 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.
Key Points:
- •Detailed examination and allergy evaluation
- •Patch testing for contact allergens
- •Identification of allergen and irritant agents
