Dr. Kapadwala, a podiatrist located in Brooklyn-Ridgewood, New York, discusses the causes, symptoms and treatments of eczema in the legs and feet.
Eczema is a general term that includes many conditions that cause inflammation of the skin. The symptoms of eczema vary, but generally appear as dry, red, extremely itchy patches of skin. Small blisters may sometimes form.
Eczema can occur on any part of the body including the legs and the feet. It occurs in both children and adults and is not contagious. There is no known cause for eczema, but it often affects people with a family history of allergies.
Although there is no cure for this disease, treatments make it very manageable. The most helpful treatment is to prevent scratching. Cold compresses can be applied to help reduce itching. Lotions and creams are often used to help keep the skin as moist as possible. Corticosteroid creams can also be used to help reduce inflammation. The first step in effective treatment of eczema is a correct diagnosis. After examination and diagnosis, we can recommend the best treatment for you or your child. Give us a call to schedule an appointment.
