Triggers, Treatments, and Relief Strategies
As the seasons change, many people with eczema find their symptoms becoming harder to manage. Fall brings cooler weather, dry air, and changes in daily routines that can all lead to flare-ups.
At Coastal Dermatology + Aesthetics, we recognize how frustrating eczema can be, and we’re here to help you find relief with professional care and advanced skincare solutions.
Why Eczema Worsens in the Fall
When temperatures decrease, the air becomes drier, and humidity levels drop. Indoor heating worsens the problem by removing even more moisture from the skin, making it prone to itching, irritation, and flare-ups. Seasonal allergens such as mold and pollen can also trigger the immune system, causing symptoms to intensify.
Everyday Care Tips for Soothing Skin
Managing eczema starts with consistent care at home. Hydration is key, so applying a rich moisturizer shortly after bathing helps lock in moisture. Gentle, fragrance-free cleansers are also important, as harsh soaps can damage the skin barrier and increase irritation.
Keeping showers short and warm, drinking plenty of water, and wearing breathable fabrics like cotton can all support healthier skin and reduce flare-ups.
Professional Treatments at Coastal Dermatology + Aesthetics
For patients with persistent symptoms, professional care can offer significant relief. Our providers may suggest light therapy (phototherapy) to reduce inflammation and itching, prescribe medications to calm flare-ups, or develop customized treatment plans to strengthen the skin barrier.
Since every eczema case is unique, we tailor our recommendations to meet your specific needs and goals.
