Your Skin, Explained: What is Eczema?
Eczema often presents as red, itchy, and inflamed skin—and just as symptoms begin to subside, flare-ups can recur. Behind the scenes, the condition reflects a weakened skin barrier that struggles to retain moisture and protect against irritants, allergens, and environmental triggers.
Although it may appear contagious, eczema is not. Anyone can get eczema at any age, although children under the age of 10 usually grow out of it. A significant number of individuals with eczema report having a family history of related conditions such as allergies, asthma, or hay fever.
There are several clinical classifications of it, and they each affect individuals differently. You may have more than one type of eczema at any given time, from contact dermatitis to nummular eczema. A proper treatment plan designed by our team can help you manage the symptoms effectively.
What are the Common Triggers of Eczema?
Although the precise cause of eczema remains unclear, it is thought to arise from a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune system influences.
Some triggers include:

Jacksonville’s Top Questions About Eczema
The symptoms are not always obvious, especially since they can mimic other skin issues. But here are a few telltale signs to keep an eye on:
- Itchy skin that won’t quit
- Dry patches that crack or flake
- Red rashes that pop up out of nowhere
- Oozing spots or crusty blisters
- Scaly skin that feels rough to the touch
- Yellow or white flakes (especially on the scalp)
- Pain and sensitivity
Eczema is a complex condition that requires more than a one-size-fits-all solution. At Coastal Dermatology & Medspa, our team conducts a comprehensive assessment, including a detailed review of your medical history and a thorough skin examination, to understand the underlying factors contributing to your symptoms and develop a customized treatment plan.
Eczema diagnosis typically involves a thorough physical examination and consultation. Gathering a comprehensive medical history, including family background, is crucial, so be prepared to give us a full rundown. Since individuals with eczema often experience associated allergies, patch testing may be recommended to identify specific triggers. This targeted approach helps us develop a personalized treatment plan to manage your symptoms.
We begin by evaluating lifestyle factors and may recommend avoiding common triggers such as irritants, allergens, or extreme temperatures. Even simple adjustments, like switching to a fragrance-free, chemical-free moisturizer, can significantly improve symptoms.
When additional support is needed, we offer a range of advanced treatment options, including:
- Topical corticosteroids to calm inflammation
- Antibiotics to address any bacterial infections that may exacerbate the condition
- Topical immunomodulators for tougher cases in older kids and adults
- Systemic therapies for severe cases
