Understanding Eczema and Dermatitis

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. Affecting millions of Americans, eczema can significantly impact quality of life, causing sleep disturbances, emotional distress, and reduced productivity.

At Paradise Medical Center in Miami, our dermatologists specialize in diagnosing and treating all forms of dermatitis. We understand that eczema is more than just dry skin—it's a complex condition involving the immune system, skin barrier dysfunction, and environmental factors.

Dermatitis is a general term for skin inflammation that includes several types: atopic dermatitis (the most common form of eczema), contact dermatitis (caused by irritants or allergens), seborrheic dermatitis, nummular dermatitis, and dyshidrotic eczema. Each type requires specific treatment approaches for optimal results.

Modern dermatology has made significant advances in eczema treatment, including new biologic medications that target the underlying immune dysfunction. Our goal is to not only control your symptoms but to improve your overall skin health and quality of life.

Types of Dermatitis We Treat

Our dermatologists are experienced in treating all forms of dermatitis, providing accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for each condition.

Atopic Dermatitis

The most common form of eczema, often beginning in childhood but affecting adults as well. We offer comprehensive treatment from topical therapies to systemic medications for severe cases.

Contact Dermatitis

Caused by skin contact with irritants or allergens. We perform patch testing to identify triggers and develop avoidance strategies along with treatment.

Seborrheic Dermatitis

Causes scaly, flaky patches typically on the scalp, face, and chest. Often associated with dandruff and requiring specific treatment approaches.

Differential Diagnosis with Psoriasis

Eczema and psoriasis can sometimes appear similar. Accurate diagnosis is essential as treatments differ significantly between these conditions.

Managing Eczema Long-Term

Successful eczema management requires a comprehensive approach that addresses both acute flares and ongoing maintenance. We work with you to develop sustainable strategies for long-term skin health.

Daily Skincare Routine

A proper skincare routine is the foundation of eczema management. This includes gentle, fragrance-free cleansers, regular moisturization (especially after bathing), and avoidance of known irritants. We provide personalized recommendations based on your skin type and severity.

Trigger Identification and Avoidance

Common eczema triggers include harsh soaps, wool and synthetic fabrics, dust mites, pet dander, stress, and certain foods. Identifying your personal triggers is crucial for prevention—we can help you develop strategies to minimize exposure.

Preventing Secondary Infections

Eczema-damaged skin is more susceptible to bacterial and fungal infections. Recognizing signs of infection early and knowing when to seek treatment is an important part of eczema management.

Related Conditions

Eczema is part of the "atopic triad" along with asthma and hay fever. We take a whole-person approach, considering how related conditions may impact your skin and overall health.

Frequently Asked Questions About Eczema

What is the difference between eczema and dermatitis?

Eczema and dermatitis are often used interchangeably—both refer to inflammation of the skin. Atopic dermatitis is the most common form of eczema. Other types include contact dermatitis (caused by irritants or allergens), seborrheic dermatitis, and nummular dermatitis. Each type has specific characteristics and treatment approaches.

Can eczema be cured?

While there is no cure for atopic eczema, it can be effectively managed with proper treatment. Many children outgrow eczema, and adults can achieve long periods of clear skin with consistent treatment and trigger avoidance. New treatments like biologics offer hope for severe cases that haven't responded to traditional therapies.

Is eczema contagious?

No, eczema is not contagious. It cannot be spread from person to person through contact. Eczema is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors that affect the skin barrier and immune response. However, eczema-damaged skin can become infected with bacteria like Staphylococcus, which can spread.

What are the newest treatments for severe eczema?

Biologic medications like dupilumab (Dupixent) have revolutionized treatment for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. JAK inhibitors are another new class of medications showing excellent results. These targeted therapies address the underlying immune dysfunction rather than just suppressing symptoms.
