Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition that causes itching, redness, dryness, and inflammation. For many people, it can disrupt daily life, affect confidence, and even disturb sleep. At Dr. Y.V. Rao Clinics in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, we provide personalized eczema treatments that aim to control flare-ups, repair skin health, and prevent recurrences.
With decades of dermatological expertise combined with modern treatment techniques, we address eczema from its root causes, giving you long-term relief and healthier skin.
Understanding Eczema and Its Causes
Eczema can develop at any age, though it’s common in childhood. The exact cause varies, but it’s often linked to an overactive immune system, genetic predisposition, and environmental triggers. In Hyderabad’s climate—hot summers, pollution, and fluctuating humidity—eczema symptoms can worsen without proper management.
Common Triggers Include
- Dry weather or low humidity
- Allergens like dust, pollen, and pet dander
- Irritants such as soaps, detergents, and perfumes
- Stress or lack of sleep
- Temperature extremes (heat, sweat, or cold)
- Certain foods that trigger allergic reactions
Recognizing and avoiding these triggers is an important part of any eczema management plan.
Symptoms of Eczema
- Persistent itching (often worse at night)
- Red or inflamed patches of skin
- Dry, scaly, or cracked skin
- Oozing or crusting in severe flare-ups
- Thickened, leathery skin from long-term scratching
Our Eczema Treatment Approach
We believe in individualized care, starting with a thorough skin analysis to understand severity, skin type, and triggers. Based on this, we design a treatment plan combining medical therapy, advanced skin care, and lifestyle guidance.
Medical Management

- Calcineurin inhibitors for sensitive areas like the face and eyelids
- Antihistamines to reduce itching
- Moisturizers and emollients to restore hydration and strengthen the skin barrier
- Antibiotics or antifungals if secondary infections are present

Eczema Treatment FAQ's
1. What causes eczema flare-ups?
Eczema is triggered by dry skin, environmental irritants (like soaps or fabrics), allergens (e.g., dust, pollen), stress, and genetic factors.
2. Is eczema contagious?
No, eczema is not contagious and cannot be spread through touch or contact.
3. What’s the best way to manage flare-ups at home?
Use fragrance-free moisturizers right after bathing, wear gentle fabrics, and avoid triggers like hot showers and harsh soaps.
4. Are steroid creams safe for long-term use?
When used intermittently (e.g., weekdays only), topical steroids are effective and generally safe, though prolonged continuous use can cause skin thinning.
5. What do I do if home care isn’t enough?
If symptoms persist or worsen despite consistent care, consult a dermatologist. Advanced treatments like prescription topicals, phototherapy, or systemic therapy may be needed.
