The Eczema Breakdown

What is eczema?

Eczema refers to a group of chronic skin conditions that cause inflammation, dryness, redness, and intense itching. It can affect people of all ages but often begins in childhood. Eczema is frequently linked to other allergic conditions, including food allergies, asthma, and hay fever.

Types of Eczema We Treat at Modena Allergy & Asthma:

  • Atopic Dermatitis (AD): The most common form, often hereditary and triggered by environmental or immune factors.
  • Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD): Caused by a reaction to allergens like metals, dyes, or preservatives—typically diagnosed with patch testing.
  • Dyshidrotic Eczema: Characterized by small, itchy blisters on the hands and feet.
  • Nummular Eczema: Appears as round, coin-shaped patches of inflamed, itchy skin.

Our team is specially trained to diagnose and treat eczema alongside its related allergic conditions, providing a holistic plan to help you manage symptoms and achieve long-term relief.

Clearer Skin Starts Here

What is the eczema treatment plan like?

At Modena Allergy & Asthma, we don’t just treat eczema symptoms—we uncover what’s causing them. Your journey begins with a full evaluation, including your medical history, previous treatments, and possible environmental or allergic triggers. If needed, we use patch testing to identify sensitivities to common irritants like preservatives, metals, or fragrances.

From there, we build a personalized treatment plan tailored to your skin’s needs. This may include lifestyle changes, prescription topicals, and cutting-edge therapies for long-term control. We’ll check in with you regularly to track progress, adjust your plan, and make sure you’re seeing results you can feel and see.

Discover Lasting Relief with Expert Care

Am I a candidate for eczema treatment?

Untreated eczema can worsen over time, but with the right approach, you can regain control. Restore your skin and your confidence with expert care tailored to your needs.

You're a candidate for eczema treatment if:

  • Your flares are frequent or don’t improve with over-the-counter products
  • Topical steroids provide only short-term relief or cause unwanted side effects
  • You suspect allergens, irritants, or lifestyle factors are triggering your symptoms

Through advanced allergy testing and personalized treatment plans, we work to uncover the root causes of your condition. If you're looking for more than temporary fixes, cutting-edge therapies like Dupixent or JAK inhibitors can offer powerful, long-term control.

Managing Flare-Ups, Maintaining Results

Eczema Treatment Recovery

While eczema is a chronic condition, flare-ups can be reduced—and even prevented—with consistent care and attention to your skin’s needs. Recovery doesn’t mean downtime, but it does mean making smart, daily choices:

  • Avoid known triggers like harsh soaps, fragrances, or environmental allergens
  • Keep skin hydrated with doctor-recommended moisturizers or emollients
  • Stick to your prescribed treatment plan for long-term control
  • Manage stress, as it can often lead to flare-ups

At Modena Allergy & Asthma, we’re here to help you stay ahead of symptoms with tailored strategies for lasting relief. Our proactive approach to eczema care empowers you to maintain clearer skin and a more comfortable, confident life.
