Eczema Treatment

What is Eczema?

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a common skin condition that causes inflammation, dryness, redness, and intense itching. At North Idaho Dermatology, our board-certified providers understand the challenges eczema can bring to both children and adults. Whether triggered by allergens, irritants, stress, or environmental factors, eczema can flare up unexpectedly and affect your daily life. We offer personalized treatment plans—from medicated creams to advanced therapies—to help manage symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and restore healthy, comfortable skin.

What Causes Eczema?

Eczema can be triggered by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, and understanding the cause is key to managing it effectively. At North Idaho Dermatology, we help patients identify common eczema triggers such as dry skin, allergens, irritants like soaps and detergents, weather changes, stress, and even certain foods. Because every case is unique, our board-certified providers work closely with you to pinpoint the underlying causes and create a customized treatment plan to minimize flare-ups and keep your skin healthy and comfortable.
