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.

The turnaround time to get an appointment and see a provider was so quick and easy; everything is setup with the neurodivergent brain in mind from the way the app is designed to appointment reminders and calendar syncing.

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.
