Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)
Understanding Eczema
Atopic Dermatitis, commonly known as eczema, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes the skin to become intensely itchy, dry, and cracked. It can affect both children and adults, and while there is no permanent cure, it can be effectively managed with the right treatment plan. At Clare Dermatology, we help patients identify their triggers, control flare-ups, and maintain healthier, more comfortable skin long-term.
