Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition that typically manifests as itchy, inflamed patches on the skin. This common skin condition may flare up over time, but it cannot be cured. Usually, eczema will occur on the face, hands, feet and the folds of elbows or knees, though it can show up anywhere on the body.
There are a few different causes of eczema, and they can vary by person. Generally, eczema is attributed to someone’s body having an overactive immune response to irritants. Similar to how your body’s immune system reacts if you have allergies, you may have eczema if your body reacts to common eczema irritants. Genetics, environment, foods and emotional triggers can also play a role in causing eczema.
Eczema symptoms can vary, but some of the most common symptoms include:
Itchy skin
Dry skin
Rashes on the skin
Bumps on the skin
Leathery patches on the skin
Scaly or cracked skin patches
Swelling
As a chronic condition, you likely won’t experience eczema symptoms at all times. Eczema usually flares up, meaning it comes and goes throughout your life. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t manage eczema symptoms to be more comfortable when they occur. We’ll touch on treatment options further down.
Fortunately, eczema is not a contagious condition. You can’t spread it from one person to another through touch or close contact. Eczema is primarily caused by genetic factors and overactive immune responses.
Contrary to popular belief, eczema isn't classified as an autoimmune disease, where the body mistakenly attacks its own cells. Instead, eczema is when your immune system has an overreaction to external allergens or irritants.
Yes, an individual can have a genetic predisposition for eczema. Research has shown that genetics can heighten the likelihood of developing the condition, though this isn’t the only indicator or cause of eczema.
Yes, itchy skin is one of the most common symptoms that is associated with eczema. Itchiness can range from mild to intense and can sometimes disrupt daily life due to the discomfort. However, it’s important to remember that itching can cause skin damage and exacerbate the eczema. If you’re experiencing intense itching due to eczema, it’s best to get treatment to help manage symptoms rather than scratching at it.
If you suspect you have eczema, it’s best to speak with your primary care provider. They can help determine if medication is needed or if you need to be referred to a dermatologist.
Generally, it’s best to make an appointment if you’re experiencing any symptoms of eczema, but especially if the condition is causing disruptions to sleep and interfering with daily activities due to discomfort. From there, your health care provider may prescribe something or suggest over-the-counter options.
To get diagnosed with eczema, you will need to set up an appointment with your health care provider. They will be able to determine if you have eczema through a physical exam and several tests. These tests will also help to rule out any other conditions that may be causing your symptoms. Some common tests your doctor may suggest include:
Allergy panel
Blood tests
Skin biopsy
Once you’ve been diagnosed, your health care provider will determine the appropriate treatment plan. Treatment typically involves one or more of the following:
Gentle over-the-counter lotions and moisturizers
Topical steroids or other topical prescription treatments
Oral medications such as antihistamines or corticosteroids
Immunosuppressant medication
Light therapy
Avoidance of triggers that cause flare-ups
Lifestyle changes such as diet to avoid possible trigger foods
Treatment for eczema may vary from person to person. What works for one individual may not work for another. That’s why it’s essential to get a diagnosis and treatment plan from a medical professional, as they can monitor your progress and adjust treatment as necessary.
While eczema is one of the most common skin conditions, there are numerous other common skin conditions to keep in mind. Some other common skin conditions include psoriasis, rosacea, hives and many more. Skin conditions often share common symptoms, such as itchiness and redness, but treatment plans will vary based on unique aspects of each condition.
Recognizing that these conditions have different treatment needs is important and further shows why getting a medical diagnosis is the best route to finding relief and managing your symptoms. Make sure to reach out to a primary care provider to determine your best path for treatment.
Skincare appointments
During your appointment, your provider will conduct a full evaluation of your skin concerns. If you have recently experienced skin changes, your provider will be able to help you diagnose the underlying causes and start you on a treatment that is right for you.
Our approach to skin care management is to provide better access to high quality providers through video appointments and in-app chat, so you can get support whenever you need it.
At Circle Medical, our board certified primary care providers have been trained in a generalized approach to medicine and are comfortable treating a wide array of skin conditions, including acne, rashes, eczema, and psoriasis, to name a few. Also your Circle Medical primary care provider can also order blood work and help to treat any underlying conditions that may also be present. However, if your Circle Medical provider feels that a dermatologist would be helpful for your skin condition, they can provide a referral to a dermatologist to help make the process seamless.
Your specific appointment frequency depends on your individual care plan. If this is a new diagnosis for you, you may have more frequent appointments with your provider to allow room for modifications to your care plan based on what is working. Patients who have already been placed on an effective skin care regimen and are focused on maintenance typically see their providers less frequently; about once every 3-6 months. We encourage you to discuss appointment frequency with your provider during your initial appointment if you have questions.
If you are experiencing severe health concerns, please dial 911 or visit your nearest emergency room.
Your provider will create a custom treatment plan for you based on your needs. Depending on your treatment plan and your specific underlying causes, the amount of time it takes to see results and improvements will vary.
Please make sure you’re in a quiet place where you feel comfortable talking with your healthcare provider. Also, to assist your provider in a telehealth skin exam, please make sure you are in an area with proper lighting and good Wifi. This will allow your provider to perform a proper skin evaluation.
Yes, all of our providers are board certified primary care providers who can not only evaluate your skin but also order blood work, place referrals, perform wellness exams, and assist with medical screenings as needed.
No, all of our providers are board certified primary care providers who can not only evaluate your skin but also order blood work, place referrals, perform wellness exams, and assist with medical screenings as needed.
General
If any in-person care is needed, such as bloodwork, vaccinations, or other testing, our providers are able to send the appropriate request to a nearby lab. Results will be integrated with our HIPAA-compliant mobile app so that patients have access to all of their medical records in one secure place.
To see our list of currently available states, begin booking an appointment.
You must be currently residing in the state of treatment as well as have your primary pharmacy be in that same state in order to be a patient at our practice.
The first intake appointment is 30 minutes. Follow-up appointments are 20 minutes each.
Billing
We provide a cost estimate when you are booking your appointment. For those with insurance, your actual cost is determined after we submit the insurance claim for your appointment. Once we submit the claim, insurance companies will pay for a portion of the appointment and pass on any remaining cost to you. Once we know what this cost is, we will update you with an invoice within the app.
For those with insurance, it typically takes 1-3 weeks for the insurance claim to be processed. Once processed, we’ll send you an invoice within the app with any remaining costs. You can then opt to pay through the app, or we will automatically charge the payment card on file after 48 hours of sending you the invoice.
For those without insurance (or with out of network insurance), we will send you the invoice 1-2 days after your appointment is completed. You can then opt to pay through the app, or we will automatically charge the payment card on file after 48 hours of sending you the invoice.
Insurance
We accept over 1,500+ insurance plans. We cover most of the major PPO insurance companies (payors) across the United States. The best way to confirm coverage of your insurance plan is to begin booking an appointment on our website or via our mobile app. During the booking process, you’ll be prompted to enter your insurance information for a real-time verification of your insurance plan.
The best way to confirm your insurance plan coverage is to call the Member Services phone number on the back of your insurance card. If needed, you can reference our Tax ID#: 474883537 and our NPI: 1134596091. Once you are able to confirm your coverage and your primary care copay costs, you can use the in-app chat to message our team with the information. We’ll then follow up with confirmation.
Your per-appointment costs are set by your insurance plan. If the costs seem high, you may be on a high deductible health plan (HDHP). This means that you have an annual out-of-pocket amount that you must pay on healthcare in a given year before your insurance plan will cover more of your per-appointment costs.
If you are on an HDHP and have confirmed your insurance information in our mobile app, your remaining deductible for the year will be displayed on the “Book Appointment” page. Note that this amount may be outdated if you have had recent insurance claims processed.

They are absolutely amazing!!
Joe
Great service. Professional providers. Never had an issue with billing or scheduling. Communication through the app has improved and availability has increased significantly. I’m seeing a massive improvement in my well-being and daily life thanks to their services and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thanks Circle Medical!
Dennis
Easy platform and scheduling, helpful especially when it’s hard to find mental health care.
Asa
Simple and easy. My PCP is absolutely amazing, super helpful, kind and understanding. It was also very affordable and convenient.
Lee
The ease and quick turnaround for an appointment is addressing a dire strain on the current infrastructure of healthcare (one of which they refuse to address). My provider was also unlike any healthcare provider that I’ve met. She was nonjudgmental, kind, and not only advocated for informed consent, but her actions aligned with it. This is the future for healthcare and it is about time.
Sarah
I appreciate how simple it is to connect with a provider. Mine has been a pleasure to work with and she has met all of my needs. I’m so glad I found Circle Medical.
Frances
I’m very happy with the service that Circle provides me with. It’s easy to make appointments with short notice or in advance. Being able to chat in between appointments is an awesome feature and the timely responses I’ve received are always appreciated. I actually have referred a friend to Circle already and she is very happy as well.
Wendy
Easy to book an appointment, huge selection of days and times and you can use different providers. Everyone is helpful and respectful.
Alicia
Very good for transgender care, which is great because most telehealth does not do that, and ones specifically for trans care don't accept insurance. It is excellent that this does.
Makayla
My provider has been so kind, validating, and understanding. She’s helped me understand my ADHD and treat it.
June
It works, is easy to use, I think the app is very good. I appreciated the several reminders for my first phone call, and I felt that my provider was very professional. She explains things well, and I feel cared for.
Katie
I have recommended Circle Medical to two friends and they both have used and are happy with their experience as well.
Kasen
I recommend Circle Medical because there’s no other app that actually just goes straight to the point in helping your needs; that being needing ADHD diagnosis or anything else that has to do with with your physical and mental health. There are no complications with speaking with the Circle Medical Team let alone any problems period.
Roxane
Comfortable experience, and from my home.
Brock
My provider was excellent - empathetic, resourceful, and intelligent. I'm grateful I was able to connect with her through Circle Medical.
Marvin
I felt like someone was finally listening and validating me. Other doctors treated me like I was seeking drugs and I couldn’t possibly have the problems or that they aren’t that bad and it’s my fault. Thank you so much for listening and asking me question and letting me answer.
Dominique
The most painless way for a man to seek mental health without shame and embarrassment. My life has improved 200%.
Niles
Very accessible healthcare that strives to meet patients where they're at. Love my provider and always have the option to see other providers when she's not available.
Konner
So easy to create an account from scratch, find an appointment (within 24 hours on a holiday weekend), and speak to a terrific professional who answered my questions
Laci
I feel like I was listened to and recieved a proper diagnosis and treatment. Also very convenient.
Katherine
Circle Medical has been absolutely amazing to me. I have been a patient at Circle Medical for about 7 months now and the experience has just been awesome. From day 1 I have been welcomed with open arms. I do video visits right in the comfort of my own home, how convenient is that? My provider is awesome, so sweet and comforting and motivating.
Ronisha
Quick, kind and professional in communicating with me.
Jerry
I think you guys are just wonderful. Very professional and responsible prescribing prescribing practices. I also really like my provider; she is compassionate and personable. I think Circle Medical eases the uncomfortability and takes the stigma away regarding ADHD. Also the online support if I have any questions or concerns is remarkably efficient and so quick to respond, even on weekends and after hours. Thank you guys!
Phoebe
I have really enjoyed my experience. I love my provider, everyone I've interacted with has been kind, and the whole process has been easy.
Jaiden
I found an amazing provider who has helped me more in the last few months than a team of specialists over the course of nearly a decade of care.
Valentin
I have a great working relationship with my provider. It is really easy to get care, and feel cared for even in a virtual meeting.
Cardi
This service saves me hours a month waiting in a doctors office, driving to and from. This is time I get to be home with my family. My provider at Circle Medical is not only friendly but extremely knowledgeable.
Mario
My provider is attentive and knowledgeable. Her team is responsive, I really feel like I receive the same quality of care as if it were in person. Appointments are readily available.
Ron
I've had nothing but the best experience with Circle Medical. All my needs have been met and it's VERY flexible.
Nola
I love having a primary care provider to work with me on getting the correct medication needed to function. I love the convenience of the telehealth appointments as well.
Macy
I’m convinced that these wonderful people truly care about the patients they serve. I have made such a meaningful connection with my provider, and every rep who answers my questions in the chat. First rate customer support. Easy appointment booking. Fair price. Thank you Circle Medical.
Nathaniel
Easy to schedule appts, easy to use the app, got the care I needed quickly, friendly providers, quality care.
Indigo
I have had an excellent experience with Circle Medical and their staff. Everyone has been ready to answer my questions, and openly looks to help me with my needs.
Kennedy
I have already recommended it to many people. I’m a college student and my university health center has several barriers that make it almost impossible for anyone to afford the services required to get ADHD treatment through them, even with insurance. Circle Medical is convenient and being an app with reminders that I can call from anywhere makes it helpful to remember and make appointments.
Kyle
Through Circle Medical I have experienced immediately inclusive care. My provider set me immediately at ease. Being able to begin my transition with a medical service that sees me as I am in my authentic self; seeing me via vidio call made the first awkward public steps so much easier!
Monica
I have ADHD and this format of meeting with providers is very ADHD friendly. It makes it easy to make appointments and the reminds and app are helpful.
Adalyn
Circle Medicine has been a godsend for me because in my rural area there are not enough primary care physicians. I've had 5 PCPs in 4 years because they keep leaving. When I couldn't get a timely appointment with a new PCP, Circle Medical helped me, with care and concern. I highly recommend Circle Medical. I'm getting better care and health conversation with my provider than I did in person!
Dalia
My provider was amazing. She listened to what I had to say, she explained everything in detail so I understood, and she truly cared about me.
Kathy
Accessible & responsive. Person-centered care. Solution-driven providers who listen and take individual needs into account. Superb follow-through. Genuine providers/staff who want to help. Circle Medical has literally changed my life. My provider listens and offers solutions that have never been presented to me before. Because of that I have been able to achieve so much.
Madeleine
I LOVE my practitioner from Circle Medical. She is caring and careful. She adjusts my meds as needed. She has made a difference in my health and well being.
Danielle
Skin makes up almost 15% of a person’s weight. It is the immune system’s first line of defense against infection, and interacts with nearly every other organ and system that works to keep us healthy.
Because of its key role in your body’s immune system, changes to your skin can often be an early indicator of undiagnosed health issues, where early diagnosis and treatment can have the greatest impact.
With countless interrelationships to your body’s other systems, changes to your skin can often be related to seasonal, chronic, or other complex conditions. By making skincare a part of your health plan, you are more likely to catch early symptoms and find effective treatments.
