31.6 million people in the U.S. live with #Eczema, according to the National Eczema Association. October is #EczemaAwareness Month, a time to educate on this skin condition that affects millions and that can be very stressful to live with. There are multiple forms of eczema, including atopic, which is the most common. Its symptoms include dry and scaly skin, redness, itching, and rashes. Typically appears on cracks behind the ears, rash on cheeks, arms, and legs. The common triggers for this type of eczema are tied to allergens. Other forms of eczema, their symptoms, and triggers can be found at https://bit.ly/3veiZLo. Though no cure exists, eczema is often treated with topical corticosteroids, topical immunomodulators, antibiotics, or oral antihistamines. Additionally, treatments such as light therapy, stress counseling, and wet dressings can also be used. If you or a loved one are living with eczema, give us a call at 775.324.0699 to schedule an appointment to help you manage it. #Dermatology #Dermatologist #Skin #Wellness #Nevada #Reno #Tahoe #Dermatitis #EczemaWarrior

Sun safety education starts at an early age. That’s why for National #ChildHealthDay we’re sharing a few tips to help encourage your little ones to protect themselves from the sun. 1. Incorporate #Suncreen into their daily routine. As they get ready for school, add “Apply sunscreen” to their morning activities along with brush teeth, eat breakfast, etc. Remind them this helps protect their largest organ from UV rays. Also, don’t forget to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30, per the American Academy of Dermatology. 2. Encourage them to wear long-sleeve UPF clothing, when possible, especially when swimming. There are so many cute bathing suit options, it’s not always easy to sell your kid on the long sleeve suit, just give them a friendly reminder that they are protecting their largest organ from the sun. Oh, and don’t forget hats and sunglasses – it’s what all the cool kids are wearing! 😊 3. Whether it’s recess or a play date, teach your child the importance of seeking shade during peak hours to cool down (10am-2pm). Spending time outdoors can be thrilling for most kids; however, it’s important to keep them protected from the sun. Follow these tips and let us know below if you have any others that have helped you educate your children about sun safety. #Dermatologist #Dermatology #Skin #Beauty #Wellness #SkinCare #Nevada #Reno #Tahoe #Kids #Children #Mom #Summer #Toddlers #Sun #SunSafety

It’s #NationalEczemaWeek. We’re sharing information to help you better understand #Eczema. Let’s start by identifying the different types of eczema. 1. Atopic dermatitis is the most common and typically begins in childhood. 2. Contact dermatitis occurs when something irritates your skin or results in an allergic reaction. 3. Dyshidrotic eczema causes small blisters on the hands or feet, usually extremely itchy. 4. Hand eczema makes hands scaly, thick, and dry. 5. Neurodermatitis is sort of like a mosquito bite in that the more you scratch it the more it itches. 6. Nummular eczema develops after an injury, such as a scrape, bug bite, or cut. 7. Stasis dermatitis is characterized by swollen, discolored skin in the lower legs, and is particularly common in people with blood flow problems. It’s important to note that eczema is not contagious. Though there is no cure for it, many treatments are available to help manage it. Treatments include using topical corticosteroids, topical immunomodulators, antibiotics, and oral antihistamines. Additionally, light therapy may be used. Are you or a loved one living with eczema?
