Are you dealing with itchy, inflamed, or irritated skin? It could be eczema or simply a skin irritation. As a #dermatologist I’m here to help you understand the difference. Eczema is a chronic condition that results from an overactive immune system, causing red, scaly patches that can be very itchy. Skin irritation, on the other hand, is typically caused by external factors such as harsh soaps, chemicals, or allergens and usually clears up once the irritant is removed. It’s important to accurately diagnose and treat the condition, so if you’re unsure, schedule an appointment with your dermatologist. #eczema #skinirritation #dermatology #skincare #healthyskin #itchy #redness #inflammation #skincondition #skinhealth
