In this episode of Let's Clear the Air!, Dr. Phil Jones and host Marcella Feathers discuss the differences between hives (urticaria) and eczema, how the conditions often diminish patients' quality of life, and how several effective treatment options are now available.
Dr. Jones shares the differences between allergically triggered and chronic urticaria and eczema. He explains how each one presents on the skin, how long they last, and how patients can break the itch-scratch cycle through a variety of treatment options. One of the most effective options he describes is biologics, which Dr. Jones says has helped tremendously, causing some patients to declare them as life-changing.
Most importantly, Dr. Jones emphasizes the importance of letting eczema and urticaria patients know they are not alone – and do not need to suffer anymore!
