Summary

Get ready to get the basis info on eczema! What it is, why it happens, and ways to manage it. As a general Pediatrician, I see TONS of eczema. Some mild, some moderate, some very severe. I always manage it the best we can in our office before sending patients to a specialist. But how do you know when you need to see an allergist for eczema? On this week’s episode, I speak with Dr. Shreya Patel (@shreyapatelmd). She is a mom and Allergist/Immunologist who owns her own private practice. We chat all about Eczema 101: What does eczema looks like? Are some children predisposed to eczema? Are there preventable measures? When should a child see an allergist for their eczema? What would workup entail at the allergist? What are some basic skincare tips for eczema? Eczema is THE most common chronic skin condition I see in my office and it was such a pleasure discussing this topic with Dr. Patel.
