Let’s Talk About Healthy, Happy Skin
October isn’t just about cozy sweaters and pumpkin spice—it’s also Eczema Awareness Month, a time to shed light on one of the most common (and often misunderstood) skin conditions affecting millions of people of all ages.
At Abrams Dermatology, we believe that awareness is the first step toward empowerment—and that everyone deserves to feel confident and comfortable in their skin.
What is Eczema?
Eczema (also known as atopic dermatitis) is a chronic skin condition that causes dryness, itching, redness, and irritation. While it can flare up at any age, it’s especially common in children—and can be triggered by everything from weather changes to stress or certain skincare products.
But here’s the good news: eczema is manageable! With the right skincare routine, lifestyle adjustments, and medical treatments, flare-ups can be reduced and comfort restored.
Small Changes, Big Difference
Managing eczema often starts with simple, consistent care. Here are a few dermatologist-approved tips:
- Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers daily.
- Skip the hot showers. Warm water keeps skin happy without stripping natural oils.
- Use mild cleansers. Avoid harsh soaps or strong fragrances.
- Stay cool and calm. Stress and heat can trigger flare-ups.
- See a dermatologist. Personalized care makes all the difference!
Raising Awareness, Spreading Kindness
Eczema can be more than skin-deep—it can impact confidence, sleep, and daily comfort. That’s why Eczema Awareness Month is about education, empathy, and support. Whether you’re living with eczema yourself or know someone who is, taking time to understand and share resources helps reduce stigma and promote healing.
