Why Your Skin Won’t Stop Itching
Why won’t your skin stop itching no matter how much you scratch? If you’re dealing with red, inflamed, intensely itchy patches that just won’t quit, you may be experiencing eczema. It’s a chronic condition—and you’re far from alone.
Eczema isn’t just dry skin. It’s a group of inflammatory skin conditions where the immune system overreacts to everyday irritants, leading to persistent itching and rashes.
Who Is Affected by Eczema?
In infants, eczema often appears on the face, scalp, arms, and legs. In adults, it commonly affects the face, neck, elbows, knees, ankles, and hands. Chronic scratching can cause skin thickening (lichenification).
Our Eczema Treatment Approach
Intensive Moisturization: Creams and ointments applied immediately after bathing help lock in moisture and restore the skin barrier.
Anti-Inflammatory Therapy: Non-prescription or prescription-strength corticosteroid creams are used carefully to control flare-ups and reduce redness and itching.
Systemic & Supportive Care: For severe cases, oral medications, antihistamines, phototherapy, or advanced treatments may be recommended. Antibiotics are used if infection occurs.
Managing eczema also means avoiding triggers—harsh soaps, heat, wool fabrics, stress, allergens, and certain foods. Every patient’s triggers and treatment plan are unique.
Eczema isn’t contagious or curable, but it *is* very manageable. At Atmos Derm, our board-certified dermatologists create personalized plans that evolve with your skin—so you can finally get relief from constant itching.
