Contemporary Dermatology puts the spotlight on skin conditions during Eczema Awareness Month

BARNSTABLE AND PLYMOUTH, MA… October is Eczema Awareness Month.
Eczema is a chronic skin condition that affects up to 25 percent of children according to the American Academy of Dermatology Association (AAD) and can affect adults of various ages as well.

Dr. Robert Nossa, a board-certified dermatologist

“Very cold or hot weather, fragrances, certain foods and a number of other factors may cause eczema to flare-up,” explained Dr. Robert Nossa, a board-certified dermatologist and founder of Contemporary Dermatology in Plymouth and Marstons Mills, MA.

According to Dr. Nossa, symptoms may include itchiness, dry skin, rashes, scaly patches, skin infections and blisters. Since the superficial symptoms of eczema are similar to psoriasis, which is a chronic skin condition, it’s important to have a board-certified dermatologist assess and diagnose any skin issues and discuss customized treatment options.

Also known as atopic dermatitis, eczema is thought to be the immune system reacting to stress, food, allergens, or other substances. Eczema can make the skin itchy, inflamed and uncomfortable. It can worsen and lead to skin infections.

“While there is no cure for eczema, there are multiple effective treatments. One option is phototherapy, often called light therapy, which is noninvasive and can be used to effectively and safely treat eczema,” explained Dr. Nossa. “Any skin issue, especially an issue that lingers, worsens or recurs, should be evaluated by a board-certified dermatologist.”

With many years of experience providing specialized dermatology services for individuals of all ages, Dr. Nossa is a published researcher who consistently stays at the forefront of the latest developments in medical and cosmetic dermatology. He has served as the principal investigator on various clinical studies and his research spans a wide range of topics, including melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer, atopic dermatitis, common warts, alopecia areata, and plaque psoriasis.

Contemporary Dermatology is accepting new patients at their Pinehills office, which opened earlier this year, at 8 Market Crossing in Plymouth MA. 

The state-of-the-art Pinehills office is the second location for Contemporary Dermatology, which provides comprehensive services that include medical dermatology, skin cancer treatments, Mohs surgery, aesthetic services and clinical research. 

Next day appointments are available at the Pinehills location and there is plenty of dedicated parking next to the office.
