Your Trusted Ann Arbor Eczema Experts
Between grocery shopping, working at your desk, or trying to maintain a social life, there’s little time to deal with eczema flare-ups. In fact, there’s never a good time to stop what you’re doing and attend to itchy, flaking, inflamed skin. But while atopic dermatitis (as it’s also called) may be a chronic skin condition, it’s far from untreatable. At Ganger Dermatology in Ann Arbor, Wixom, and Plymouth, MI, we have answers for your outbreaks.
Eczema Education & Treatment
Eczema symptoms can start at an early age but disappear later in life. However, for those still suffering from atopic dermatitis, managing eczema requires a two-fold approach. As a chronic skin condition without known cure, eczema benefits from a diligent skin care routine on your part combined with a plan of treatment on ours.
At Ganger Dermatology, we’ll recommend or combine certain leading-edge treatments, including prescription medication and biologics (monoclonal antibodies) for more severe cases. Afterward, we’ll guide you through an ideal, at-home skin care routine to give you the best odds of achieving and keeping clearer skin for more days on average.

Eczema FAQs
At the moment, there’s no general consensus on the primary cause of eczema. We know that atopic dermatitis is related to food allergies and environmental irritants. Eczema can also flare or react to certain components in soaps or certain kinds of weather (severe cold, dry air). Ultimately, everyone’s eczema is different.

Treating eczema at home is a matter of trial and error. But with diligence and attention, you may be able to identify and understand triggers for flare-ups. If your socks or other tight-fitting garments seem related to eczema patches, consider changing your laundry detergent. Similarly, taking warm showers (rather than hot) may reduce symptoms or prevent outbreaks.
At Ganger Dermatology, we can walk you through the process of at-home eczema care step-by-step so that you can better manage your symptoms.
Unfortunately, there’s no single known cure for atopic dermatitis, just as there’s no easy solution to acne. That does not mean, however, that eczema symptoms can’t be successfully and consistently treated. Through a combination of education and medication, you can enjoy more rash-free days on average, improving your overall quality of life by leaps and bounds.
