Is There a Cure for Eczema?

Unfortunately, there is no cure for eczema. However, there are a variety of treatments— both over the counter and prescription— that Dr. Toni Stockton may recommend treating your eczema. During your initial consultation with Dr. Toni Stockton, she will be able to diagnose you and help find a treatment option that is right for you.

Is Eczema Worse In the Winter?

If you have noticed that your eczema flares up or gets worse in the winter, you aren’t hallucinating. Due to things like space heaters and the cold, dry air outside, it can dry your skin out even more than normal which can exacerbate your eczema.

Can Eczema Turn Into Psoriasis?

Although eczema and psoriasis are two skin conditions that have a few similarities, they will not turn into another. If you have eczema, it doesn’t mean you will get psoriasis. In fact, there isn’t any medical evidence that proves that one will turn into the other.

Is Eczema Caused By Stress?

In some instances, patients may experience more eczema flare-ups if they are under a lot of stress. However, there is no exact known cause for eczema. Many patients experience eczema flare-ups due to things like weather changes, viruses, detergents, soaps, lotions, perfumes, or other chemicals that are added to the skin.
