Eczema

What is Eczema?

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition characterized by itchy, inflamed, and often red and cracked areas of skin. It’s a common ailment that can affect people of all ages, though it typically first appears in childhood. Eczema’s exact cause is not fully understood but is believed to be related to a combination of genetic and environmental factors that affect the skin’s barrier function, immune response, and inflammation levels.

What are the Active Ingredients in VPharmacy’s Compounding Treatments for Eczema:

TACROLIMUS

Tacrolimus is a topical immunomodulator used for treating eczema, particularly in cases where conventional treatments have failed or are contraindicated. It works by suppressing the immune system’s activity in the skin, reducing inflammation, and alleviating symptoms of eczema. Tacrolimus is especially beneficial for sensitive areas of skin, such as the face and neck, where stronger corticosteroids may not be suitable due to potential side effects
like skin thinning.

NIACINAMIDE

Niacinamide, or Vitamin B3, has anti-inflammatory properties that make it helpful in managing eczema. It can improve the skin’s barrier function, retain moisture, reduce redness, and soothe irritation. Niacinamide is gentle on the skin and can be used in conjunction with other treatments to enhance overall skin health and resilience.
