Eczema Symptoms
There are many different symptoms that can affect a person with eczema – diagnosed or not. The most common symptoms are swelling, redness, irritation, buildup of dead skin cells that looks scaly or rough, and even darkened pigmentation. A person with eczema might experience just one or many of these symptoms in response to a specific trigger or allergen or many of these symptoms regardless of a stimulant.
Getting diagnosed by a dermatologist is the first step toward seeing improvement and ideally permanent solutions to your eczema outbreaks, since every patient is different and requires different treatments.
Eczema Treatment Options
Many eczema treatments result in side effects, complications, and risk factors, which is why at Farmington Dermatology, we rely on a proven and symptom-free treatment for eczema called narrow band ultraviolet light therapy. This treatment targets the symptoms of eczema without the side effects of other topical therapies or other solutions.
Narrow band UV therapy stimulates the skin to produce Vitamin D as well as interfere with the inflamed, irritated cells that are causing your symptoms. Together, as the increased production of vitamins helps heal and strengthen your skin and the UV light destroys cells that aren’t functioning correctly, people can experience relief from eczema without the risk of side effects or lack of effectiveness of other treatments.
