Both Dove and Vanicream make a good line of hand soaps for sensitive skin. In general, you want to find a soap that is fragrance-free and dye-free. In terms of moisturizers, we recommend an ointment over a cream- brands such as Vanicream or Cerave are typically recommended. Using Vaseline or Petroleum Jelly is also very effective to keep the hands moist and it also acts as a great barrier to prevent irritation and infection from occurring.

Yes, with the correct treatment, healing of one’s skin can be achieved. Typically, most patients may need controller therapy to maintain healing and prevent remission. It is important to remember that atopic dermatitis is a chronic condition for which there is no cure, but there are ways of maintaining and managing this condition to prevent recurrent flares and achieve remission.

Yes! For Dr. Van Wagoner, reviewing digital photos uploaded by online patients mirrors what he has already experienced during his education and training. He is very familiar with analyzing and diagnosing many conditions based on images and a written history, which makes an online eczema practice such a natural extension of his practice.

Most cases of eczema are genetic in origin and result from abnormal skin protein number and/or function; thus, curing eczema is not that simple in these cases. Using topical and/or oral agents that lessen the inflammatory reaction on the skin can counter these genetic factors in many patients. Avoidance of common allergic triggers (food, environment, psychosocial stress, and/or chemical allergens) is also helpful in many patients. Thus, the management of each case is different and requires a thorough knowledge of potential causes and available treatments.

We welcome helping patients who are not able to care for themselves or who are perhaps uncomfortable using technology. We can only provide these services through a guardian or surrogate contact who is legally authorized to act on behalf of a patient. All that is required is the surrogate's relationship to the patient, the surrogate's contact information, the patient's name, and the surrogate's electronic signature to attest that the surrogate is legally authorized to act on the patient's behalf.

Treating eczema is all we do and focus on. We are experts in diagnosing and treating eczema in both children and adults. Our results speak for themselves. We typically see dramatic improvements in patients with mild, moderate, and even severe forms of eczema. We use a treatment method that is different from what other contemporary providers utilize. Recognizing that most patients with atopic dermatitis have an underlying skin infection that promotes the course of the disease is a critical understanding. Thus, our treatment not only addresses the longstanding inflammation but also the underlying infection of the skin when deciding the treatment medications we use. Plus, our close follow-up model allows for customization of care that other providers cannot easily duplicate given their already busy schedules. Our online model allows us the opportunity to provide you with needed and required follow-ups in a recurrent and timely fashion. Once control is achieved, those follow-ups are spaced out accordingly.
