Eczema:
Understanding and
Managing this Common Skin
Condition Detection

Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition that causes inflammation, itching, and dryness, often appearing as red, scaly patches. It can be triggered by various factors, including stress, allergens, or irritants.

In the United States, eczema is a widespread condition, affecting an estimated 35 million people. While it often begins in childhood—70% of cases start in children under the age of 5—it can persist into adulthood, with about 1-3% of adults living with the condition. At Cardinal Dermatology Center, we provide expert care for eczema, offering tailored treatments for men, women, teens, and adults to help manage symptoms and improve skin health.
