What is Eczema?

Eczema refers to a group of dermatology conditions that cause itchy, inflamed, irritated, dry skin that affects more than 31 million Americans from newborns to the elderly.

There are several different types of eczema including:

Atopic dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis, commonly known as eczema, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by itching, redness, and the development of dry, scaly patches on the skin. Treatment options for atopic dermatitis can vary depending on the severity of the condition, individual factors such as age and overall health, as well as personal preferences. Here are some common treatment options:

  • Topical corticosteroids
  • Topical calcineurin inhibitors
  • Emollients and moisturizers
  • Topical phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitors
  • Antihistamines
  • Wet dressings
  • Phototherapy (light therapy)
  • Systemic medications
  • Avoidance of triggers

Nummular eczema

Nummular eczema, also known as discoid eczema or nummular dermatitis, is characterized by round or oval-shaped patches of inflamed, itchy skin. Treatment options for nummular eczema aim to relieve symptoms, reduce inflammation, and prevent flare-ups. Here are some common approaches:

  • Topical Corticosteroids
  • Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors
  • Topical Moisturizers
  • Wet Compresses
  • Avoiding Triggers
  • Oral Antihistamines
  • Phototherapy (Light Therapy)
  • Oral Medications
  • Skin Barrier Repair Creams

Stasis dermatitis

Stasis dermatitis, also known as venous eczema or gravitational dermatitis, is a skin condition that occurs due to poor circulation in the legs, leading to swelling, redness, and inflammation. It commonly affects individuals with venous insufficiency or varicose veins. Treatment options for stasis dermatitis aim to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and manage symptoms. Here are some common approaches:

  • Compression Therapy
  • Elevation
  • Topical Treatments
  • Emollients and Moisturizers
  • Wound Care
  • Dietary Changes
  • Exercise
  • Vein Treatments

Contact dermatitis

Contact dermatitis occurs when the skin comes into contact with a substance that causes irritation or an allergic reaction. Treatment for contact dermatitis aims to relieve symptoms, reduce inflammation, and identify and avoid the triggering substance. Here are some common treatment options:

  • Avoidance of Irritants or Allergens
  • Topical Corticosteroids
  • Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors
  • Topical Antihistamines
  • Cool Compresses
  • Moisturizers
  • Oral Antihistamines
  • Barrier Creams
  • Oral Corticosteroids

Dyshidrotic eczema

Dyshidrotic eczema, also known as dyshidrosis or pompholyx, is a type of eczema characterized by small, itchy blisters that typically develop on the hands and feet. Treatment options for dyshidrotic eczema aim to reduce itching, inflammation, and the formation of blisters while preventing flare-ups. Here are some common approaches:

  • Topical Corticosteroids
  • Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors
  • Topical Moisturizers
  • Topical Anti-itch Creams
  • Wet Compresses
  • Avoiding Scratching
  • Oral Antihistamines
  • Phototherapy (Light Therapy)
  • Oral Medications

Seborrheic dermatitis

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition characterized by red, itchy, and flaky patches, typically occurring on areas of the body with a high concentration of oil glands, such as the scalp, face (especially around the nose and eyebrows), ears, and upper chest. Treatment options for seborrheic dermatitis aim to reduce inflammation, control itching, and manage symptoms. Here are some common approaches:

  • Topical Antifungal Agents
  • Topical Corticosteroids
  • Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors
  • Antifungal Shampoos
  • Tar-based Shampoos
  • Salicylic Acid Preparations
  • Moisturizers
  • Avoiding Triggers
  • Oral Medications

DANIELLE LECLAIR, NP

Danielle LeClair, NP graduated from Boston University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology. Her passion in nursing began while working in skilled nursing facilities very early in her nursing career. Soon thereafter she received her Master of Science in Nursing from the MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston, Massachusetts. Danielle’s professional interests in treating dermatologic conditions was inspired by a preceptorship in dermatology while attending nursing school.

Atopic dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is the most commonly known type of eczema and often is the result of an overactive immune system, causing the skin barrier to become impaired. Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition with periods of flares and remissions of dry, itchy, scaly skin. It has been thought to arise in childhood and adolescence, but more recent research suggests that atopic dermatitis sometimes starts in adulthood. While it tends to run in families, it is not contagious. Those diagnosed with atopic dermatitis often have other immune hypersensitivity disorders such as asthma and allergies.

Contact dermatitis

There are two types of contact dermatitis; allergic contact dermatitis and irritant contact dermatitis. Allergic contact dermatitis often presents as a red scaly rash in the area of contact with a substance your body doesn’t like. Common allergens include nickel, neomycin, ingredients in cosmetic products, fragrances, and preservatives. Dermatologists often conduct allergy testing for common contact allergens. Once these allergens are identified and the offending substance is removed, the rash subsides.  Irritant contact dermatitis presents as a rash when a substance irritates your skin. Common irritants include: hair dyes, nail polish remover, paints, harsh soaps and detergents, just to name a few. Again, once the offending agent is identified and removed, the rash should subside. Sometimes medications such as topical or oral steroids are necessary.

Dyshidrotic eczema

Dyshidrotic eczema is a form of eczema that causes itchy and painful small fluid-filled blisters on the palms of the hands and fingers and sometimes on the soles of the feet. The blisters usually persist for about 3-4 weeks and then progress to scaly rash. The blisters can recur every few months or so. Topical steroids and emollient creams are often prescribed for dyshidrotic eczema.

Nummular eczema

Nummular eczema, sometimes referred to at discoid eczema, is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by red scaly coin-shaped lesions on your skin, usually on the arms and legs but can occur on your back and chest. Good skin care is essential for nummular eczema (for all types of eczema, actually). Bathing in lukewarm water (not hot water), moisturizing immediately after your bath or shower, and using a humidifier and dry climates will help ease the discomfort associated with eczema.

Stasis dermatitis

Stasis dermatitis occurs in people with poor blood flow, most commonly in the lower legs and ankles. Symptoms of stasis dermatitis include leg swelling, crusting or cracking skin, leg ulcers, and skin discoloration (often turning brown) in the lower extremities. Wearing compression stockings, elevating your legs, and good skin care help manage stasis dermatitis.

Seborrheic dermatitis

Seborrheic dermatitis, more commonly known as dandruff, is characterized by red flaky skin on the scalp, ears, face, and chest. Symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis often worsen in times of stress or in cold dry weather. Several over-the-counter treatments exist, including dandruff shampoo, but many prescription medications can be used to treat this condition.
