What Is Eczema?

Eczema is a common skin condition that can cause dryness, itching, redness, irritation, and recurring flare-ups. Symptoms may become worse due to allergens, weather changes, soaps, fabrics, foods, or environmental triggers.

What Is Contact Dermatitis?

Contact dermatitis happens when the skin reacts after touching an irritant or allergen. Common triggers may include cosmetics, metals, fragrances, cleaning products, plants, latex, or workplace materials.

When Should You See an Eczema Doctor?

You should consider seeing an eczema doctor if your symptoms keep returning, affect sleep, spread to new areas, or do not improve with basic skin care. A specialist can help check whether allergies or contact triggers are making the condition worse.

Eczema & Contact Dermatitis Evaluation

GP Allergy may review your symptoms, medical history, skin exposure, possible allergy triggers, and previous treatments. Patch testing or allergy evaluation may be recommended when contact allergy is suspected.

Precise Diagnosis with Allergy Testing

Accurate diagnosis is key to effective allergy relief. At our NJ office, we utilize skin prick testing (also called allergy skin testing) to identify the specific allergens causing your symptoms. This quick and reliable test is the foundation of a personalized allergy treatment plan.

Treatment Options

Treatment may include trigger avoidance, skin care guidance, prescription or non-prescription medication recommendations, allergy management, and follow-up care to reduce flare-ups.

Why Choose GP Allergy for Skin Allergy Care

GP Allergy provides care for eczema, contact dermatitis, and allergy-related skin symptoms with a focus on identifying triggers and improving daily comfort.
