Read MoreEczema is a common and chronic skin condition that causes itching, inflammation, redness, and irritation. It can affect people of all ages but often starts in childhood. Eczema flare-ups can be triggered by a variety of environmental or internal factors, making personalized treatment especially important. At InMotion Health, we bring eczema care directly to you so you can get relief without leaving the comfort of your home.
What Is Eczema?
Eczema is a non-contagious condition that affects the skin’s barrier function, leading to dryness, sensitivity, and a higher risk of irritation. It often appears as patches of red, itchy, or scaly skin and can range from mild to severe. Although the exact cause of eczema isn’t fully understood, it is believed to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
How Is Eczema Treated?
During your appointment, we’ll discuss your symptoms, medical history, possible triggers, and any previous treatments. If a secondary bacterial infection is suspected, we can send out samples for rapid PCR testing through our trusted lab partners. Based on your unique presentation, we may recommend a combination of therapies. These may include prescription or over-the-counter topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, moisturizers or barrier creams to restore skin hydration, and antihistamines to alleviate itching.
If an infection is present, antibiotics may also be prescribed. We’ll also offer guidance on how to avoid common irritants and triggers like harsh soaps, detergents, or allergens. Every care plan is personalized so you can achieve relief and long-term control over your eczema.
Symptoms of Eczema
Eczema symptoms can vary in severity and presentation, but common signs include:
- Itchy, dry, or scaly skin
- Red or inflamed patches
- Cracked or thickened areas of skin
- Oozing or crusting (especially if infected)
- Increased sensitivity to irritants or allergens
Symptoms often flare in cycles and may worsen with weather changes, stress, or exposure to certain products.
What Causes Eczema?
Eczema can be caused or aggravated by a variety of internal and external factors. Common contributors include:
- Genetics or family history of eczema, asthma, or allergies
- Dry skin or exposure to harsh soaps and detergents
- Environmental allergens such as dust mites, pollen, or pet dander
- Stress and emotional triggers
- Hormonal changes or immune system imbalances
Understanding your unique triggers is a key part of managing eczema long-term.
Why Is Eczema Treatment Important?
Treating eczema early is essential for preventing complications and maintaining your quality of life. Left untreated, eczema can lead to worsening symptoms, frequent flare-ups, skin infections, and significant discomfort that interferes with daily activities and sleep. Persistent scratching may also result in thickened or discolored skin. Early intervention helps provide rapid symptom relief, prevent infections and long-term skin damage, improve sleep, and reduce the overall frequency and severity of flare-ups.
How Should I Support My Recovery From Eczema?
Moisturizing regularly with unscented, dermatologist-recommended creams helps protect your skin’s barrier and prevent dryness. Avoid scratching or rubbing the affected areas to reduce irritation and minimize the risk of infection. Stick to gentle, fragrance-free soaps and laundry products, and wear breathable clothing to avoid triggering flare-ups.
It’s also important to follow your provider’s instructions closely and complete any prescribed treatments. If symptoms persist or worsen, schedule a follow-up visit. For those who experience recurrent eczema, we can refer you to a dermatologist who can help you develop a personalized maintenance plan to keep your skin calm, healthy, and flare‑free.
