Eczema is a common but often frustrating chronic skin condition that can impact daily comfort and confidence. Characterized by redness, itching, and dryness, eczema can affect people of all ages and often requires ongoing care. With a friendly, professional approach and deep expertise in cutting-edge skin therapies, Dr. Hedayati helps patients take control of their eczema and achieve healthier, more comfortable skin.
Understanding Eczema
Eczema can affect people of all ages, though it usually presents during childhood. Although there is a genetic predisposition, eczema can be triggered by a variety of factors, including environmental allergens, stress, irritants like soaps or detergents, and even changes in weather.
While eczema is not contagious, it can significantly affect a person’s quality of life—especially if left untreated. Dr. Hedayati understands the frustration and discomfort eczema can bring, and he offers personalized treatment plans designed to soothe symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and support long-term skin health.
The Benefits of Eczema Treatment
Treating eczema is not only essential to finding lasting relief; the treatment process offers a host of benefits, including:
Prevents complications
Including skin thickening (lichenification), infections, and sleep disturbances
Improves overall skin appearance
Minimizes redness, roughness, and irritation
Reduces the frequency and severity of flare-ups
What are the Options for Eczema Treatment?
Eczema treatment is highly individualized, as triggers and severity vary from person to person. Dr. Hedayati takes a comprehensive approach, combining clinical expertise with patient education to manage symptoms effectively.
Topical Treatments
The first line of defense often includes prescription-strength corticosteroid creams or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents to reduce itching and inflammation.
Systemic Medications
Systemic treatments, including advanced biologics like Dupixent® (dupilumab), have transformed the management of moderate to severe eczema by targeting the underlying inflammation rather than just the symptoms. These therapies offer long-term relief for patients who don’t respond to topical treatments alone.
Lifestyle Modifications
Dr. Hedayati works closely with patients to create a skincare and lifestyle plan that reduces exposure to irritants and allergens, helping prevent future flare-ups.
How to Care for Your Skin After Treatment
Maintaining healthy skin habits is key to sustaining results and preventing flare-ups. Regular moisturizing is essential—Dr. Hedayati recommends applying a thick, fragrance-free moisturizer at least twice daily to keep the skin hydrated and resilient.
How to Choose a Provider
Finding the right provider makes all the difference in your eczema care. Look for someone who takes the time to understand your condition, identifies your triggers, and offers advanced, evidence-based treatments. As a board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Hedayati brings a wealth of expertise and a compassionate approach to every case.
