Treatment for Eczema, Dermatitis, and Psoriasis

At DMC Aesthetics in Tucson, Arizona, we understand how disruptive and frustrating chronic skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis can be. These conditions may cause itching, redness, inflammation, flaking, or discomfort—affecting not only your skin’s health but also your quality of life. Our board-certified dermatologists are here to help you find relief through personalized, evidence-based treatment plans.

What Are Eczema, Dermatitis, and Psoriasis?

Though often confused or used interchangeably, eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis are distinct inflammatory skin conditions. Understanding the differences is key to effective treatment.

  • Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis): A long-lasting skin condition that leads to dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. Commonly affects areas such as the hands, face, neck, and the backs of the knees. Dyshidrotic eczema (pompholyx) is a specific form that causes small, fluid-filled blisters, usually on the hands and feet.
  • Dermatitis: A broad term for skin inflammation. This includes seborrheic dermatitis (scalp and oily areas), contact dermatitis (caused by irritants or allergens), and others.
  • Psoriasis: An autoimmune condition where skin cells reproduce too quickly, leading to thick, scaly patches. It usually affects the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back.

Although these conditions may appear similar, they differ in origin, symptoms, and treatment response. Our team will help determine whether you’re dealing with psoriasis, eczema, or dermatitis, or a combination of all three.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Skin Inflammation Treatment

At DMC Aesthetics, we create customized treatment plans to manage flare-ups, relieve discomfort, and improve the health and appearance of your skin over time.

Diagnostic Evaluation

A proper diagnosis is essential for long-term skin health. During your visit, we’ll perform:

Skin Examination

We’ll evaluate the affected areas, including texture, scaling, and redness.

Patient History Review

We’ll assess possible triggers, allergens, or family history of autoimmune or inflammatory conditions.

Differential Diagnosis

Our providers will distinguish between eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis, conditions that often overlap in symptoms.

Personalized Treatment Options

Once we understand your specific diagnosis, we’ll tailor your treatment to target the root cause and reduce inflammation. Options include:

  • Topical Medications: Prescription creams and ointments to reduce redness, itching, and scaling.
  • Oral or Injectable Medications: For moderate to severe cases, we may prescribe immunomodulators or biologics.
  • Light Therapy (Phototherapy): UV light treatments that calm inflammation and slow cell turnover in psoriasis.
  • Lifestyle & Skincare Guidance: We’ll help you identify environmental or dietary triggers, and recommend gentle skincare routines.
  • Specialty Care for Facial or Scalp Eczema/Psoriasis: We offer sensitive solutions for delicate or high-visibility areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Eczema and dermatitis both refer to inflamed, itchy skin, with eczema being the more chronic form. Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that causes thick, scaly patches. Though symptoms can overlap, their causes and treatments differ.

The best eczema treatment depends on severity. Options include topical steroids, moisturizers, antihistamines, or advanced therapies like phototherapy or biologics for severe eczema.

Seborrheic dermatitis causes greasy, yellowish scales on the scalp and around oily areas of the face. Scalp psoriasis typically forms thicker, silver-white scales and may extend beyond the hairline. Diagnosis by a dermatologist is essential.

While there is no permanent cure, symptoms can be effectively managed with consistent treatment, lifestyle changes, and dermatologist supervision.

Dyshidrotic eczema (pompholyx) is treatable with targeted therapies that help manage symptoms and reduce flare-ups. Common treatments include topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, drying soaks to ease itching and blistering, and advanced options for persistent cases. With proper care, symptoms can be significantly controlled and future outbreaks minimized.
