Examining Eczema in Kids

CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO
About this episode

For kids with eczema the discomfort of dry patches, constant itching and sleepless nights, can be relentless. For their parents, the search for answers is as well. In this episode, we’re scratching beneath the surface of one of the most common skin conditions in pediatrics. We’ll explore how to spot triggers, calm flare-ups, choose the right treatments and know when it’s time to call in a dermatologist. Whether it’s helping a toddler stop scratching or giving a teen the confidence to ditch the long sleeves, we’re here to equip pediatricians with the tools to help their patients find relief and reclaim their skin.

For this episode, we are joined by Emily Gurnee, MD. She is a Dermatologist at Children’s Hospital Colorado as well as an Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. 

Some highlights from this episode include: 

  • The most up-to-date information with eczema 
  • Medication versus other remedies  
  • How to provide care that fits into a family's routine
  • Best ways PCPs can support kids with eczema
