Frequently Asked Questions

What is eczema?

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is generally characterized as an itchy, red, scaly rash.

These symptoms often worsen at night, and the urge to itch can be intense enough to disrupt sleep. Many eczema patients scratch their skin until it breaks, leaving it prone to infection.

Babies who develop eczema before their first birthday get dry, red, scaly patches on their cheeks, forehead, and scalp. When the condition begins after the age of two, it’s more likely to cause rashes in the creases of a child’s elbows or knees, or along their neck, wrists, or ankles.

In adults, eczema is more likely to cover larger areas of the body and may be unusually severe on the neck, face, and around the eyes.

Approximately 90% of people who have eczema developed the condition before their fifth birthday. Although it’s a long-term condition, only about half of the people who develop childhood eczema continue to have symptoms as an adult.

What causes eczema?

Medical experts don’t know what causes eczema, but it appears to run in families along with other common childhood health issues. Many children who develop it are closely related to someone who has either eczema, hay fever, or asthma. Even though about half of all children with eczema continue to have mild symptoms as an adult, many of the babies who develop eczema in early infancy no longer have any symptoms by their second birthday.

How can eczema be controlled?

Proper treatment and a gentle skin care routine can go a long way in reducing eczema symptoms, avoiding skin infections, and preventing recurrence. We can develop a customized treatment plan that helps:

  • Reduce inflammation
  • Relieve itching and pain
  • Clear any infection
  • Decrease new lesions

Effective eczema control also includes avoiding anything that may bring on a flare-up. While you may not always know the specific cause of an eczema break out, some of the most common triggers include:

  • Psychological stress
  • Sweaty skin
  • Irritating detergents and soaps  
  • Dry air and sunburns

Your daily skin care routine is also an essential aspect of eczema management. Use a mild, cleanser that’s fragrance-free, and keep your showers warm and relatively short, not hot and long. It’s also important to apply topical medications and moisturizers just after bathing, when your skin is still moist.

✨ @drgeria was recently featured in the article by @livestrong_com where he shared his opinion on the use of dry shampoo.

👎Dry shampoo can be a convenient hair care product, its frequent and improper use may have some potential drawbacks.

🫧It should not replace regular hair washing entirely, as it doesn`t cleanse the scalp as effectively as traditional shampoo and water.

👉Overuse of dry shampoo can lead to product buildup, clogged hair follicles, and a dry scalp.

❗️Dr. Geria recommends using dry shampoo sparingly and recommends washing your hair regularly to maintain scalp health and prevent potential issues.

🩸Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a cutting-edge medical procedure that harnesses the healing power of your own blood.

💉It involves drawing a small sample of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, growth factors, and other beneficial components, and then injecting this PRP back into the body at targeted areas.

👨‍⚕️PRP is widely used in various medical fields, including orthopedics, dentistry, and aesthetics.

💆‍♂️💆‍♀️It’s particularly popular in dermatology and hair restoration for its ability to stimulate tissue repair, collagen production, and cell regeneration, promoting healthier skin and hair growth.

👍Benefits of PRP for hair restoration:

✨Stimulates hair growth.
✨Strengthens existing hair.
✨Improves hair thickness and density.
✨Enhances overall hair health.
✨Minimizes hair loss.

❓Did you know?

👉Consuming a diet that is rich in sugar and heavily processed foods can potentially have a significant impact on skin health and lead to the development of skin inflammation.

👎Processed foods often contain high levels of refined sugars, which can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels. This triggers the release of insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar, but can also have pro-inflammatory effects.

🙅‍♀️Chronic consumption of excessive sugars and processed carbohydrates may contribute to a state of chronic inflammation, which is believed to be a contributing factor to the exacerbation of skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis.

🥦In contrast, opting for a diet rich in whole, nutrient-dense foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats, provides the body with the necessary building blocks for healthy skin.

👍These foods supply essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can support the skin`s natural defense mechanisms and minimize the risk of inflammation-related skin issues.

✨Therefore, making mindful dietary choices can contribute to maintaining clear, vibrant, and healthy skin.
