Eczema

Eczema is common, but poorly controlled eczema is not something you have to accept. At Greenville Skin, we focus on accurate diagnosis, targeted treatment, and long-term control, so you’re not stuck in cycles of flare and temporary relief.

 

The goal is consistent, easier to control skin.

What is Eczema?

Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that can cause:

  • Dry, sensitive skin
  • Red, inflamed patches
  • Itching—often intense
  • Cracking, scaling, or thickened skin
  • Flares that come and go

It can affect both children and adults and may vary significantly in severity.

Diagnosis

Types of Eczema We Treat

We evaluate and manage a range of eczematous conditions, including:

  • Atopic Dermatitis
  • Contact Dermatitis (irritant and allergic)
  • Nummular Eczema
  • Dyshidrotic Eczema (hands and feet)
  • Seborrheic Dermatitis
  • Chronic Hand Dermatitis

Accurate classification matters—because treatment differs for each.

Treatment

Our Approach

Precise Diagnosis

Not all eczema is the same. We focus on:

  • Identifying triggers and patterns
  • Differentiating subtypes
  • Using testing only when it changes management

Correct diagnosis avoids ineffective treatment and unnecessary escalation.


Targeted Treatment

Treatment is tailored to severity, location, and lifestyle:

  • Prescription topical therapies (steroids and non-steroidal options)
  • Barrier repair and skincare strategies
  • Oral medications or biologics when indicated
  • Itch control and flare management

We focus on treatments that are practical, effective, and sustainable.


Long-Term Control

Eczema is chronic—but manageable with the right plan:

  • Maintenance regimens to prevent flares
  • Clear guidance on when and how to adjust treatment
  • Follow-up based on need—not routine

The goal is stability—not repeated cycles of worsening and recovery.
