Eczema
Eczema is one of the most manageable chronic skin conditions when you have the right care team and an effective treatment plan.
What Is Eczema?
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis or atopic eczema, is a chronic skin condition that causes the skin to become dry, itchy, and inflamed. It affects people of all ages but is especially common in children, many of whom experience their first flare during infancy or early childhood.
Eczema tends to come and go. Some patients experience long periods of clear skin interspersed with occasional flares; others manage symptoms on a more ongoing basis. Severity can range from mild dryness and irritation to more significant cracking and discomfort. Either way, the condition is very treatable, and most patients find meaningful, lasting relief with the right plan in place.
Eczema most often appears on the hands, wrists, inner elbows, knees, ankles, neck, and upper chest. In children, the cheeks and scalp are common sites as well. If you or your child are dealing with persistent skin irritation, our team is here to help you understand what's happening and what to do about it.

Evil Q.
Great Service and very professional!
Evil Q.
All of the staff with whom I interacted were reassuring, professional and knowledgeable. Dr Simpson did an amazing job stitching my skin back together, to the point that even early in the healing process it is hard to find the seam. Recommend with no reservations!
Evil Q.
While surgery is never a fun experience, I can’t speak highly enough of SCSC. The receptionists worked with me on multiple occasions to ensure my paperwork was on file, and consistently provided clear guidance. When it came time for surgery, Dr. Montemarano’s skill was so apparent. It is rare to find a doctor with such a wonderful combination of medical talent and bedside manner. He went above and beyond (in what I’m sure was a long day for him) to perform my surgeries in a way that worked best for me. He made me feel comfortable, explained every step clearly, and even called to check up on me after surgery. Shreya was an absolute professional the entire day, and went out of her way multiple times to ensure my comfort and make my surgery a success. She fielded all my questions, even tracking down additional team members for information when needed. I’ve never felt like my health was taken so seriously, and really appreciate the entire team! Thanks for taking care of me.
Evil Q.
Dr McKenzize is the best! I only got to her now for all of my needs.
Evil Q.
Fast and on time. kind, informative, and understanding professionals. Zero time wasted. Absolutely satisfied with all the information and help. I wish every medical office was like this place and all medical professionals were more like these people.

Evil Q.
Dr. Montemarano and his staff are the best at what they do.
Evil Q.
Saw staff quickly and Angie was great to help me understand the treatment plan
Evil Q.
Can’t say enough great things about Dr. Mackenzie Doshi and their team! From the moment I walk in, I feel welcomed and cared for. Dr Mackenzie is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough in explaining everything. They took the time to understand my concerns and tailored a treatment plan that truly transformed my skin. The results have been amazing, and I feel so much more confident! If you’re looking for a dermatologist who genuinely cares and delivers outstanding results, I highly recommend Dr. Mackenzie Doshi.
Evil Q.
The staff was helpful, very knowledgeable and friendly. Each time I’ve had appointments, I’ve waited no longer than ten minutes to be seen.
Evil Q.
Paige was very thorough, checking for pre-cancerous lesions. She found many on my head and face that I was not aware of. Having recently moved here, this was my first time visit and I have arranged a continuous 6 month return. In the past, I have had 9 successful Mohs surgeries with the associated Annapolis office when I lived adjacent to Annapolis.
Evil Q.
I feel very fortunate to have found Raleigh Dermatology many years ago. Now both of my children, and my grandson are patients too. Both Dr. Puente and Dr Signorelli are excellent doctors. The doctor’s helpers are knowledgeable and are friendly and helpful with patients. The front office staff, the same. I feel safe and cared for by all.
Evil Q.

Evil Q.
As an established patient of Academic Alliance in Dermatology, I continue to be pleased with Dr. Lam and his staff. The office is run on a timely basis, is comfortable, and very clean. Since Dr. Lam was booked out, and I wanted an appointment fairly soon, I accepted an appointment in the Tarpon office with his PA, Morgan. I was exceedingly pleased with Morgan's professional expertise and her sensitivity to my anxiety. She explained the skin condition clearly and offered me medical advice on what could be done to treat it. I chose to have her shave off the seborria keratosis patch on my skin. Morgan is very skilled, and the process went very smoothly. She explained the aftercare. Morgan's assistant, Taliah, was very attentive and proficient. I am very happy with the talented professionalism both women showed me and with the office in general.
Evil Q.
World class experience - not your typical medical visit. Smooth and easy welcome by Jessica and her team Anjana , my PA, is a rock star- thorough, gentle and very informative Everyone deserves a standing ovation and a HUGE raise Thank you 🙏
Evil Q.
Kenny is the best dermatologist. He is wonderful with his patients, shows concerns about your health and life. One of the best and would not want to go to anyone else.
Evil Q.
I had a lifelong red spot near my eye and got it removed by Provider Henry Yan quickly and painlessly. He was very gentle & professional, I should’ve had this removed decades ago! Thank you!
Evil Q.
This was my first experience with Mohs surgery and I didn't know what to expect. The team was professional, kind, and confident which certainly set me at ease. They explained the procedure at every step which was much appreciated. I really enjoyed how the team and doctor involved me with conversation and the technical aspect of the procedure. The final product was impressive, nice work!
Evil Q.
A most positive experience from my first call to the office to schedule an appointment, to calling with questions and then to receiving treatment. All staff were courteous and professional while exhibiting a friendly demeanor.
Evil Q.
Very convenient location, clean and welcoming. The staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend!
Evil Q.
A fantastic practice. All of my concerns (four separate issues and a tissue biopsy) were addressed in one visit. I’ve already recommended them to two family members. So pleased to find a great dermatologist so close to home.
Evil Q.
Dr. Noell and the entire staff at MD Laser, Skin, and Vein are truly amazing.
Evil Q.
The staff here are very caring and kind. I'm recommending this office to all of my friends.

I always love coming here. The staff is very respectful and they listen well. It’s very hard to find a dermatologist that works well with darker skin and these guys excel!
Evil Q.
Excellent service from the moment you walk through the door. Made to feel welcome and comfortable. Dr was awesome and explained everything as he went.
Evil Q.
Dr throughly explained what options for treatment were available & presently waiting for Insurance coverage.
Evil Q.

Evil Q.
It was a follow up.then I had a complete body scan 👍
Evil Q.
Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Hoping the procedure works as told. If not, I'll re-rate. Overall satisfied!
Evil Q.
I recently had squamous removal surgery on my nose at the Skin Cancer Surgery Center in Fairfax, Va. My surgeon, Jonathan Smith, D.O., was exceptionally professional during the entire process as were the entire support staff. What I feared was going to be"scary experience" was mitigated down to a rather routine, cordial visit to the "doctors office" in the end. I would grade this overall process as an A.
Evil Q.
It’s the best; I have had multiple skin cancers including melanoma and the Moh’s surgeons here are the best.
Evil Q.
I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Wheat. They took the time to carefully examine my skin, accurately address my concerns, and explain my treatment options very clearly. The office is spotless, the staff is welcoming, and the appointment started right on time. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a top-tier dermatologist!
Evil Q.
Dr.Cheater and the staff are the best! They were genuinely concerned and addressed all of my needs!

Staff was very friendly and professional. Dr. Shoonover was informative and helpful about my seborrheic keratosis moles. He was able to treat them the same day and was helpful on how to treat them in the coming weeks and months. I would definitely use them again.
Evil Q.
Ashley is great!
Evil Q.
I was able to get a same day appointment and was seen without too much of a wait. I honestly don't have a high opinion of dermatologists (based on visits to other locations) but I think I like this one.
Evil Q.
This was my second visit with Dr Jon Smith, surgeon. He was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. His staff was excellent too. Highly recommend, and would definitely return if needed.
Evil Q.
The quality of knowledge and care of the staff and Dr Montemarano was and continues to be outstanding It’s a tough position to be in for the patient, but with the explanation of each procedural step there is a comfort level achieved from beginning to finish
Evil Q.
Top notch. Very clean. Quick and easy. they listen to you and attentive to your situation. Very professional
Evil Q.
Hii I was the girl with the split dye pink and black hair.. My derm, Dr. Cheater is one of the best.. Unfortunately I don't go there anymore because I recently moved but I HAVE to deliver my experience for these ladies... One of the BEST doctors I personally feel like I can go to. Thoroughly explains everything I need and just a really overall great doctor. And the ladies at the front desk.. They had no issues making me feel so welcomed the first second I walked in the door. Extremely professional and super sweet I recommend and even fondly speak about this staff to my Piers and family. I just wanted to hop on here and personally thank everyone who I spoke to here because credit is definitely earned.

She listened to my concerns, and the treatment she prescribed for my skin has already shown improvements within just a few days. The staff was incredibly friendly and very professional. Overall, I had an outstanding experience.ad an outstanding experience.
Evil Q.
I highly recommend Dermatology Specialist of Augusta. I have been a patient in this office for around 4yrs now and I can honestly say I have received great care and advice. During all my procedures (including 3 Mohs surgeries) Every staff member including Dr Callaway makes sure you are comfortable and well informed about everything they are doing, I really appreciate that. From the front office to scheduling and all the nursing staff everyone is so friendly and supportive . A special thank you to PA Carly Griffies and Dr Callaway
Evil Q.
My experience was phenomenal from check in to check out. Allison is an amazing PA and I don’t think I would see anyone else for my dermatology needs!!
Evil Q.
Shannan H was wonderful. She took the time to thoroughly explain each step of the procedure and helped put me at ease. Her calm and caring approach made the entire experience much more comfortable.
Evil Q.
Jenna, PA, and Medical Assistant Joyce, were a great team, providing good care, professionalism, and kindness.
Evil Q.
You know those medical practictioners who run their office poorly, the waits are long, and the staff treat you like you've invaded their personal space and you're dumb for being there? That is NOT this place. 2 days ago, I found a spot of concern on my arm. I got an appointment within 2 days. I walked in and waited max 10 minutes. My PA (Anjana Patel) listened to my concern, did a couple of feel tests, thought it was probably nothing but since it was a little funny, she biopsied it on the spot. Then she asked if I wanted a whole skin check since I never had had one, which she performed with compassion and competence. She was amazing, and her assistant, Grace, was wonderful too. The office staff was similarly kind and got me in and out quickly. It's obviously a nice place to work, because the office staff was smiling and joking with each other while also performing their tasks with professionalism. Could not recommend more highly. 10/10.
Evil Q.
No wait time. Staff are very friendly and very helpful. Doctors are very thorough and answered all of our questions and concerns.
Evil Q.
Had great experience with the staff and Dr. Connolly. He really addresses your concerns well and gives the best medical advice for your treatment.

Highly recommend Janet Benton for your dermatology needs. She is thorough, kind, a great listener, and takes the time to explain what needs to be done to fix each concern.
Evil Q.
It was my first time at this location. Dr De Souza listened to my skin concerns and did a thorough exam and explained things to me in regards to any questions that I had. I've never had any negative experiences any time that I've been to any Academic Alliance in Dermatology office locations and will continue seeking care there whenever needed!
Evil Q.
This practice is awesome from the reception to the doctors ,, always the best!!
Evil Q.
Hannah was recommended to me by a family member and I have now recommended her to anyone who asks me about dermatologists. I have seen her three times, initially for a suspicious spot on my face that turned out to be basal cell carcinoma . I have gone to get annual skin cancer scans ever since and will continue to make a yearly appointment with Hannah. Everyone from the front desk to checkout is always pleasant and I just called with a prescription question and the staff member I spoke with was so helpful. Five stars for Carolina Skincare.
Evil Q.

Zoe was the ARNP whom I saw at the Academy? She is kind professional considerate courteous. Tells me what she's going to do.. Never hurts me and really cares about me.... Even when she's super busy, she takes her time and make sure she does not miss anything on my body that needs attention.Thank you Zoe..... And the staff there is very sweet. Sometimes i'm very talkative, I guess i'm nervous and they make me feel comfortable, even though I talk a lot, they always seem to know the right things to say I think they know i'm a little anxious...... Madison, who works with Zoe.... Is the most sweetest person there can making sure I know what to do when I get hom.....because of the treatment that was just done......

Great Dermatology

Great first experience and visit with Dr. Rachel. Professional, efficient, and helpful.
Evil Q.
We had such a wonderful experience at the dermatology office today. My 10-year-old daughter had a mole removed from her head, and honestly, I was much more nervous than she was! Dr. Lauren Page was absolutely phenomenal. She was kind, patient, reassuring, and made my daughter feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. The facility was extremely clean, and every person we encountered was so friendly and welcoming. It made what could have been a stressful experience feel so much easier for both of us. We are so thankful for the wonderful care and would highly recommend Dr. Lauren Page and the entire team!
Evil Q.
Ji Lee is amazing!!! She helped me get over a serious case of profuse sweating during panic attacks. The sweating stopped, and my overall quality of life has gotten better. Thank you so much, Carolina Skin Care!!!
Evil Q.
I have been seeing Dr. Monica Valentin at the Fairfax Office of Anne Arundel Dematology for many years. Dr. Valentin is board certified in two specialties, Dermatology and Internal Medicine, and her thoroughness is appreciated. She is always friendly and kind, no matter how busy, and she and her PAs help you maintain good skin health including any necessary medical treatments, and annual or more frequent checks as necessary. The practice itself, and the Fairfax office, are extremely well run, including calendars, maintaining scheduling, billing, and communications. Unlike some other specialists' offices, in particular dermatology, while the practice is busy, there is rarely or never any kind of untoward wait, and the waiting room is therefore not full or crowded, because they maintain a disciplined calendar and don't overbook. Only the people right before you and the people right after you are generally there. While I have had only standard but important medical skin checks and treatments, they do offer spa care treatments, and for whatever reason Dr. Valentin ages in reverse so I would trust her in that regard if one were in that market.
Evil Q.
Great dermatology and laser experts.
Evil Q.
Dr. Prussick & Dr. Yan are excellent dermatologists ! The office is very clean and organized and professional... & the staff are excellent. Your skin is the largest organ on your body. You need to care for it. I highly recommend Washington Dermatology !

Lived in Florida for 40+ years, lots of sun damage, & have seen many dermatologists. This is by far the best practice I’ve found.

And they don’t rush you through your appointment!

Your Eczema Questions, Answered
Not currently, but eczema is very manageable. With a consistent treatment plan and the right skincare habits, most patients experience fewer flares and significantly better day-to-day comfort.
Treatment depends on your symptoms and their severity. Options range from daily moisturizers and topical corticosteroids to prescription non-steroidal creams, antihistamines, and, for more persistent cases, biologic medications.
Keeping skin well-moisturized, avoiding known triggers, using antihistamines at night, and applying cool compresses during flares can all help. Your dermatologist can recommend a routine tailored to your specific situation.
Signs of infection include increased redness, warmth, swelling, and oozing or crusting with a yellow or honey-colored appearance. If you notice these symptoms, contact your provider promptly.
Cold, dry air strips moisture from the skin and disrupts the skin barrier, increasing the likelihood of flares. Switching to a thicker fragrance-free moisturizer, using a humidifier, and avoiding hot showers can all help during colder months.
For some patients, particularly children, certain foods may trigger flares. An elimination approach, guided by your dermatologist or an allergist, can help identify whether diet is a contributing factor for you.
Many children see their eczema improve significantly as they get older, and some do grow out of it entirely. Eczema can return in adulthood, so learning to manage it well during childhood is always worthwhile.
Fragrances, dyes, alcohol-based products (including many hand sanitizers and aerosol sprays), and harsh soaps are common aggravators. Look for products labeled fragrance-free and formulated for sensitive skin, including your laundry detergent.
Yes. Eczema, asthma, and hay fever often occur together in what is sometimes called the atopic triad. If your eczema is connected to significant allergy symptoms, a referral to an allergist may be part of your care plan.
In most cases, a physical skin exam is all that is needed. If an allergic trigger is suspected, your provider may recommend additional testing.
