The underlying dysfunction involves a compromised skin barrier and an overactive immune response — which is why effective treatment must address both the inflammation and the barrier defect, not just the surface symptoms. Dr. Berry approaches eczema with an integrative perspective, evaluating potential triggers (environmental, dietary, contact-related), assessing disease severity, and creating a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses both flare management and long-term maintenance. ![Small Plaque Psoriasis](https://bhskin.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/dermatologist-wearing-gloves-examines-skin-sick-patient-examination-diagnosis-skin-diseases-allergies-psoriasis-eczema-dermatitis-1-e1653678965512.jpg) ## Types of Eczema We Treat - Atopic dermatitis — the most common form; often associated with asthma and allergies - Contact dermatitis — allergic or irritant reaction triggered by specific substances - Dyshidrotic eczema — blistering eczema on the hands and feet - Nummular eczema — coin-shaped patches of irritated skin - Seborrheic dermatitis — scaly, oily patches on the scalp and face - Stasis dermatitis — eczema associated with poor circulation, typically on the lower legs - Neurodermatitis — thickened, leathery patches caused by chronic scratching BHSkin Encino treats all forms of eczema and related conditions: ## Eczema Treatment Options at BHSkin Encino We offer the full spectrum of evidence-based eczema treatments: - Topical corticosteroids — first-line treatment for most eczema flares - Topical calcineurin inhibitors (tacrolimus, pimecrolimus) — steroid-free options for sensitive areas - Crisaborole (Eucrisa) — non-steroidal topical for mild-to-moderate eczema - Dupilumab (Dupixent) — biologic injection; highly effective for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis - Tralokinumab (Adbry) — newer biologic option with excellent efficacy and safety profile - JAK inhibitors (upadacitinib, abrocitinib) — oral targeted therapy for moderate-to-severe eczema - Wet wrap therapy — for acute, severe flares - Trigger identification and avoidance counseling ## Why Choose BHSkin Encino for Eczema Care Eczema is a chronic condition that requires a physician who will partner with you over time, adjusting treatment as your condition changes.

Eczema is a chronic condition with no known cure at this time, but it can be very effectively managed. Many patients achieve near-complete control of their symptoms with the right combination of treatments and lifestyle modifications. Some children outgrow atopic dermatitis, though adults typically require ongoing management. The newer biologic treatments have dramatically improved outcomes for patients with moderate-to-severe disease. ### What triggers eczema flares? Common triggers include dry air, soaps and detergents, fragrances and preservatives, sweat, heat, certain fabrics (especially wool and synthetic fibers), stress, pet dander, dust mites, and certain foods in younger patients. Dr. Berry will help you identify your personal triggers through a detailed history and, when appropriate, patch testing. ### Is Dupixent right for my eczema? Dupixent (dupilumab) is a biologic injection FDA-approved for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis that has not responded adequately to topical treatments. It works by blocking two key inflammatory pathways (IL-4 and IL-13) and has shown remarkable efficacy, with many patients achieving clear or almost-clear skin. Dr. Berry will assess whether you meet the criteria for biologic therapy. ### How do I stop the itch-scratch cycle? The itch-scratch cycle is one of the most challenging aspects of eczema. Breaking it requires reducing inflammation first (with appropriate prescription treatment), then maintaining a strong skin barrier with daily moisturization. Antihistamines can help manage nighttime itching. Dr. Berry provides a complete flare management protocol to help you regain control quickly. ## Get Relief from Eczema — Book Your Appointment in Encino.
