🍂 Happy October! Did you know it's National Eczema Awareness Month? 💙
At Tru North Dermatology, we are dedicated to helping patients who live with the constant itch, pain, and discomfort of eczema.
A common misconception is that eczema is only a childhood condition. That's false! Adults can develop any type of eczema.
Adult-Onset Eczema: You can develop Atopic Dermatitis (the most common form) for the very first time as an adult—sometimes even in your 50s!
Recurrence: It can also go away in childhood and return years later.
Appearance: In adults, eczema tends to be intensely dry, scaly, and leathery, often appearing on the backs of the knees, crooks of the elbows, back of the neck, and around the eyes.
Contagion: Eczema is NOT contracted or contagious; it's a chronic condition driven by a combination of genetics and immune factors.
You don't have to manage flares alone. If you are experiencing intensely itchy and painful patches, our providers offer the latest, personalized treatment plans to get your symptoms under control and help you find lasting relief.
