Many patients with persistent eczema have only ever been given a generic topical steroid and told to moisturize. But effective eczema management is far more nuanced. Dr. Mehrabi evaluates each patient's eczema type, severity, trigger profile, and treatment history before making recommendations.

For patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, the past decade has brought transformative new treatment options — including biologic injections and JAK inhibitors — that can achieve near-complete clearance in patients who have suffered for years. Dr. Mehrabi is experienced with these therapies and will assess whether they are appropriate for your case.

Dry desert air and low humidity — especially damaging to the skin barrier

Hard water mineral deposits from showering and washing

Air quality and allergens including wildfires, smog, and pollen

Sweat from year-round outdoor activities

Southern California's climate and lifestyle create specific eczema triggers that are particularly common among Glendale patients:

Local Triggers

Topical corticosteroids — first-line anti-inflammatory therapy for flares
Topical calcineurin inhibitors — tacrolimus and pimecrolimus for steroid-sensitive areas
Crisaborole (Eucrisa) — non-steroidal PDE4 inhibitor for mild-to-moderate disease
Dupilumab (Dupixent) — FDA-approved biologic for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis
Tralokinumab (Adbry) — newer biologic targeting IL-13
Upadacitinib and abrocitinib — oral JAK inhibitors for moderate-to-severe disease
Bleach bath protocols — antimicrobial barrier support
Trigger identification and environmental counseling

Dr. Mehrabi offers a complete range of eczema treatments, from foundational topicals through advanced biologics:

Frequently Asked Questions

Eczema (atopic dermatitis) and psoriasis are both inflammatory skin conditions, but they have different causes, appearances, and treatments. Eczema typically presents with intensely itchy, weeping, or crusted patches and is associated with the atopic triad (eczema, asthma, allergies). Psoriasis typically shows well-defined, silvery-scaled plaques and is driven by a different immune pathway. Accurate diagnosis is critical, and Dr. Mehrabi is experienced in distinguishing between them.

Dupixent is typically considered when eczema is moderate to severe and has not responded adequately to prescription-strength topicals. Insurance usually requires documentation that topical therapies have failed before approving a biologic. Dr. Mehrabi will assess your disease severity, your treatment history, and your insurance situation to determine the right time to pursue biologic therapy.

No. Eczema is not contagious and cannot be passed from person to person. It is an immune-mediated condition with genetic components and environmental triggers. While eczema-affected skin can become secondarily infected with bacteria (especially Staphylococcus aureus), the infection — not the eczema — is what poses a transmission risk.

Many children do experience improvement in eczema as they grow older — studies suggest that up to 50% of children with atopic dermatitis see significant improvement by adulthood. However, predicting which children will outgrow it is difficult, and proper management in childhood is important to minimize scarring, discomfort, and sleep disruption in the meantime. Dr. Mehrabi sees pediatric eczema patients and can guide families through the process.
