Eczema encompasses various inflammatory skin conditions, leading to red, itchy, and dry patches. Types include atopic dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, dyshidrotic eczema, and nummular eczema. Allergists often focus on diagnosing and treating these forms. Atopic dermatitis typically appears in childhood, often alongside other allergies, such as food allergies and asthma. It can persist throughout life with periods of remission. Allergic contact dermatitis typically affects adults when exposed to triggers such as chemicals or metals. Diagnosing this condition often involves patch testing. This comprehensive approach allows for effective management of multiple allergic conditions within a single clinic setting.

At Modena Allergy + Asthma-Eastlake, Dr. Brian Modena and his team provide relief through comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plans. They assist in identifying triggers and provide cutting-edge therapies, such as Dupixent, Rinvoq, and Xeljanz, alongside lifestyle advice to manage symptoms effectively.

This information enhances the discussion with your doctor and accelerates the diagnostic process, allowing you to begin eczema treatment in Eastlake sooner. We request all patients sign a Medical Release Form, which will be emailed to you. Once signed, we'll fax the request and coordinate with your outside doctor's office to obtain your records.
Dr. Modena and his team will assess your symptoms, considering factors like the timing and location of your rash, personal care products, occupation, and any treatments or medications you've tried. They'll also review any history of allergies, such as food or nasal/eye allergies. Understanding potential eczema triggers like stress or poor sleep is crucial. In Eastlake, the Modena Allergy team often recommends allergy patch testing to pinpoint eczema causes. If avoidance and non-medicinal therapies don't work, they offer advanced systemic treatments for eczema relief, including Dupixent and Rinvoq.
