October is Eczema Awareness Month
Eczema — also known as atopic dermatitis — affects more than 30 million Americans and can impact people of all ages. This chronic skin condition causes dryness, redness, itching, and irritation that can disrupt daily life. During Eczema Awareness Month, ENT & Allergy Associates (ENTA) is proud to raise awareness about this common condition and share how our team of experienced board-certified allergists helps patients find relief and reclaim comfort.
What Causes Eczema?
Eczema isn’t caused by a single factor — it’s a complex condition linked to genetics, environmental triggers, and immune system responses. For many patients, allergies play a major role. Common eczema triggers include:
- Dust mites, pet dander, and mold
- Seasonal allergens like pollen
- Certain fabrics or soaps
- Heat, sweat, or dry air
- Stress
Understanding and managing these triggers is key to long-term control — and that’s where our allergists come in.
How Our Allergists Can Help
At ENT & Allergy Associates, our allergists take a comprehensive, personalized approach to diagnosing and managing eczema. We go beyond symptom relief to uncover the underlying causes of flare-ups and help prevent them from recurring.
Our team offers:
- Allergy testing to identify environmental or food triggers
- Personalized treatment plans that may include topical therapies, allergy medications, or biologic treatments for severe eczema
- Education and guidance on daily skincare routines and trigger avoidance
- Ongoing follow-up care to ensure your skin and overall health stay on track
Our goal is to help each patient — from children with early-onset eczema to adults managing chronic symptoms — find lasting comfort and confidence in their skin.
Eczema and Allergies: The Connection
Many people with eczema also experience asthma, hay fever, or food allergies, a combination known as the “atopic triad.” Because ENT & Allergy Associates provides comprehensive care for ear, nose, throat, and allergy conditions, our specialists are uniquely equipped to treat the full spectrum of allergic and inflammatory disorders that often overlap with eczema.
By treating the root cause — not just the rash — we help patients experience real improvement in both their skin and overall well-being.

With offices throughout New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, ENT & Allergy Associates is here to support your eczema journey every step of the way.
