Eczema Treatment for Face in Plano TX Area

Understanding Eczema, Rashes, and Psoriasis.

Several irritating skin rashes can break out on your skin for various reasons. These conditions range from very annoying to incredibly alarming.

Eczema

Eczema can present slightly different symptoms in children and adults.

Children: Eczema is also known as atopic dermatitis, a fairly common skin condition in children, especially infants. Eczema usually starts in the creases of the elbows or knees, although it can also occur in areas like the wrists, ankles, or neck. It begins as scaly, itchy patches and can persist into adulthood without proper treatment.
Adults: Around half of all kids outgrow eczema. However, the condition will likely leave them with dry, sensitive skin. For others, the condition persists into adulthood while presenting slightly different symptoms. While rare, a person who never had eczema as a child may still develop it as an adult. Eczema tends to appear scalier in adults than in children. Plus, in addition to elbows and knees, the condition can be visible on the face and neck, especially around the eyes. In fact, it can cover someone’s entire body!

Psoriasis

This chronic skin disease develops because of a dysfunction in our immune system. Skin cells begin to grow too quickly and are not properly shed, causing a build-up on the surface of your skin, which causes a rash. At this time, we don’t know exactly what causes the immune system dysfunction that leads to psoriasis. However, scientists believe it is likely a genetic condition triggered by different factors such as stress. This condition is not contagious.

Other Rashes

Here at DSA Dermatology Drs. Daniel Achtman and Jordan Achtman treat thousands of different skin conditions, many of which consist of rashes. A few of the most common rashes include:

Contact Dermatitis: Caused by an allergic reaction to an object or substance touching the skin. This condition can be caused by nearly anything such as metal, fabric, household cleaners, and cosmetics.
Pityriasis Rosea: Also known as “Christmas Tree Rash,” this condition produces a scaly rash that usually appears on the back. It can form an outline resembling a Christmas tree.
Miliaria: Also known as heat rash, this condition consists of small bumps caused by the restricted output of sweat during hot conditions.
Drug Rash: An allergic reaction on the skin caused by an over-the-counter or prescription drug.
Herpes Zoster: Also known as shingles, this painful rash occurs in individuals infected with Chickenpox at one point.
Intertrigo: Skin inflammation caused by moisture and abrasion in areas where the skin touches, such as the underarm, abdomen, and groin.
