Welcome to Nashville Dermatology Physicians in Brentwood, Tennessee! Dr. Jeffrey Berti and Dr. Toula Berti, with over 40 years of combined expertise, offer compassionate, tailored skin care for all ages. Eczema is one of the most common conditions we treat, and it’s far more than just dry skin. Below, we’ll explain what eczema is, why treatment matters, and how our team can help your family find relief.

What Is Eczema?

Definition: Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a chronic skin condition causing itchy, red, inflamed patches.
Where It Appears: Often on the face, hands, elbows, or knees.
Who It Affects: Approximately 16.5 million U.S. adults have eczema roughly 7.2% of all adults! And 13% of U.S. children, often starting in infancy.

More Than Dry Skin: It’s driven by genetics, immune responses, and environmental triggers.

Eczema can range from mild irritation to severe flare-ups that disrupt daily life.

Why Treating Eczema Is Crucial?

Untreated eczema affects more than just your skin:

For Children:
  - Intense itching disrupts sleep and focus at school.
  - Visible patches may impact self-esteem.
  - Scratching increases infection risk.

- For Adults:
  - Flare-ups cause discomfort and stress.
  - Chronic symptoms can affect work and social life.
  - Damaged skin barriers invite infections.

Both adults and children suffer from mental health concerns like anxiety or depression if eczema is severe.

Proper treatment improves comfort, health, and confidence for the whole family.
