Skin ยท Dermatology ยท Eczema
Eczema causes chronic itching, redness, and skin barrier disruption. Dr. Megha Sharma provides accurate diagnosis and evidence-based management for long-term control and improved quality of life.
About This Treatment
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition causing intensely itchy, red, dry, and sometimes weeping patches โ driven by skin barrier dysfunction, immune dysregulation, and environmental triggers. Treatment at MS Skin Clinic addresses all three: repairing the skin barrier with emollients; reducing inflammation with topical steroids, calcineurin inhibitors, or PDE4 inhibitors; and identifying and eliminating triggers. Severe or refractory eczema is treated with biologics (dupilumab) or JAK inhibitors.
