Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is atopic dermatitis, and how is it treated in children?

Atopic dermatitis, or eczema, is a chronic skin condition characterized by red, inflamed, and itchy skin. Treatment at Bloom Plus Clinic includes topical medications to reduce inflammation, moisturizers to keep the skin hydrated, and guidance on avoiding triggers. Our specialists work closely with families to develop personalized management plans for each child.

How can I tell if my child has a skin infection or just a rash?

Skin infections can present with symptoms like redness, swelling, and pain. Some infections may also cause fever. If your child has a rash accompanied by these symptoms, it’s important to seek medical advice. At Bloom Plus Clinic, our pediatricians can accurately diagnose skin conditions through clinical examinations and laboratory tests, ensuring your child receives the right treatment.

What are the common triggers for atopic dermatitis flare-ups in children?

Common triggers for atopic dermatitis include allergens (such as pollen, dust mites, and pet dander), harsh soaps, synthetic fabrics, stress, and extreme weather conditions. Our team at Bloom Plus Clinic helps families identify specific triggers and provides strategies to minimize exposure, reducing the frequency of flare-ups.

How are skin infections treated at Bloom Plus Clinic?

Treatment for skin infections depends on the type of infection. Bacterial infections are typically treated with antibiotics, while viral infections often require supportive care or antiviral medications. Fungal infections are managed with antifungal medications. Our pediatricians ensure that each child receives the appropriate treatment based on the type and severity of their infection.

Can atopic dermatitis be outgrown, or is it a lifelong condition?

Many children outgrow atopic dermatitis as they get older, with symptoms often improving significantly in adolescence or adulthood. However, some individuals may continue to experience symptoms into adulthood. At Bloom Plus Clinic, we focus on effective management strategies to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life, regardless of the duration of the condition.
