What is it?
Atopic dermatitis, commonly known as childhood eczema, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition seen in infants and children. It causes dry, itchy, red, and inflamed patches of skin, often affecting the cheeks, arms, legs, neck, and skin folds. The condition is linked to a weakened skin barrier, making the skin more sensitive to allergens, irritants, and environmental triggers.
How it works
At Claire Derma, treatment focuses on repairing the skin barrier, reducing inflammation, and controlling itching. The dermatologist identifies triggers such as allergens, weather changes, soaps, or food sensitivities. A combination of medicated creams, soothing moisturizers, and gentle skincare routines is used to calm the skin and prevent flare-ups.
