Eczema Awareness Month
Eczema is a condition that makes your skin red and itchy. It's common in children but can occur at any age. Eczema is long lasting (chronic) and tends to flare periodically.

What Causes Eczema?

Healthy skin helps retain moisture and protects you from bacteria, irritants and allergens. Eczema is related to a gene variation that affects the skin's ability to provide this protection. This allows your skin to be affected by environmental factors, irritants and allergens.
Common triggers:

  • Animal dander and saliva.
  • Scratchy clothes (wool).
  • Sweating a lot.
  • Soaps.
  • Household cleaning products.
  • Fruit juices.
  • Dust.
  • A cough, cold, or the flu.
Treatment

Eczema can be persistent. You may need to try various treatments to control it. And even if treatment is successful, signs and symptoms may return (flare).

It's important to recognize the condition early so that you can start treatment. If regular moisturizing and other self-care steps don't help, contact our office to schedule an appointment.
Skin Cancer is one of the most common and most preventable types of cancer in the United States. Colorado's high altitude, love for the outdoors, and abundant sunshine means that we are exposed to higher amounts of UV sunlight than the rest of the nation.

Skin exams are the best way to find skin cancers early. And the sooner a skin cancer is identified, the easier it is to treat.
