Eczema
Eczema Relief Starts Here.
Real Treatment, Real Answers—Right Here in Rockville & North Bethesda
Itchy? Irritated? Flaky and flaring out of nowhere?
Eczema doesn’t just annoy your skin—it messes with your sleep, your confidence, and your peace of mind. At Shore Dermatology, we get it. And we get results.
Whether you’re dealing with baby-soft cheeks that suddenly aren’t so soft… or an adult flare-up that came out of left field—we treat eczema at the source.
What Is Eczema Anyway?
Let’s clear it up—literally.
Eczema (also known as atopic dermatitis) is a chronic skin condition that causes:
Dry, cracked skin
Red or brownish patches
Intense itching (especially at night)
Oozing, thickened skin during flares
It’s often linked to your immune system, genetics, and skin barrier function. Add stress, weather, or allergies? Boom—flare city.
And while it’s super common (especially in kids), that doesn’t mean you should suffer through it.
Signs You Should See a Dermatologist
✔ Over-the-counter creams aren’t cutting it
✔ You’re waking up scratching
✔ Your skin is bleeding, crusting, or infected
✔ You’re self-conscious about visible patches
✔ You’ve had enough of guessing what triggers it
Our Eczema Treatment Options in Rockville
Prescription-Strength Topicals
Because your drugstore lotion doesn’t stand a chance during a flare.
Topical steroids (mild to high-potency)
Non-steroidal options (like tacrolimus or crisaborole)
Barrier repair creams to seal in moisture and stop the cycle
We match the formula to your skin, your flare level, and your lifestyle.
💊 Oral & Injectable Medications
For moderate to severe eczema that doesn’t calm down with topicals alone.
Antihistamines – to help with nighttime itch
Oral steroids – short-term relief during bad flares
Dupixent – a game-changing biologic injection for chronic, uncontrolled eczema (now FDA-approved for kids and adults)
Light Therapy (Phototherapy)
When nothing else works—or when you want to avoid heavy meds—narrowband UVB light can reduce inflammation and improve the skin barrier with a few short sessions per week.
Customized Care Plans
Every case of eczema is different. So is every treatment plan.
We’ll walk you through triggers, lifestyle tweaks, product swaps, and flare management—so your skin isn’t running the show.
