Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition that causes redness, itching, dryness, and inflammation. For many, it can be more than just a skin issue—it affects sleep, self-confidence, and overall quality of life.

At Premium Healthcare in Miami and South Florida, we offer compassionate, expert care for eczema. Our goal is to relieve symptoms, prevent flare-ups, and help you feel confident and comfortable in your skin.

What Is Eczema?

Eczema is an inflammatory skin disorder marked by periods of flare-ups and remission. While it is not contagious, it can be triggered by internal factors (such as immune dysfunction) or external ones (like allergens or irritants).

Common forms of eczema include:

  • Atopic dermatitis – the most common type, often starting in childhood 
  • Contact dermatitis – caused by direct skin contact with irritants or allergens 
  • Dyshidrotic eczema – small, itchy blisters on hands or feet 
  • Nummular eczema – coin-shaped patches of irritated skin 

Seborrheic dermatitis – red, scaly patches, typically on the scalp or face

Eczema Symptoms

Eczema symptoms can range from mild to severe and often vary by age and individual. Common symptoms include:

  • Dry, scaly, or cracked skin 
  • Intense itching, especially at night 
  • Red or inflamed patches 
  • Small, raised bumps that may leak fluid 
  • Thickened, leathery skin (from chronic scratching) 
  • Raw or bleeding skin due to excessive irritation 

Flare-ups may occur in response to triggers such as allergens, weather changes, stress, or harsh soaps.

What Causes Eczema?

While the exact cause of eczema is not fully understood, it is believed to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. People with eczema often have an overactive immune response and a weakened skin barrier.

Common triggers include:

  • Allergens (dust mites, pet dander, pollen) 
  • Irritants (soaps, fragrances, detergents) 
  • Stress or emotional strain 
  • Weather changes (cold, dry air or heat) 
  • Certain fabrics (like wool or synthetic fibers) 
  • Foods (dairy, gluten, eggs—for some individuals) 

Understanding your specific triggers is key to preventing flare-ups and improving long-term outcomes.

  • Identifying and avoiding known triggers 
  • Using cool compresses or oatmeal baths to calm itching 
  • Managing stress with relaxation techniques

When to Seek Help for Eczema

While mild eczema may improve with over-the-counter care, medical attention is needed if:

  • Your symptoms worsen or don’t respond to basic treatment 
  • Skin becomes cracked, painful, or infected 
  • Eczema interferes with daily activities or sleep

Getting professional support early can prevent complications and improve your quality of life.
