💙 OCTOBER IS ECZEMA AWARENESS MONTH! 💙

Did you know that eczema is more than just dry skin? It can cause ongoing discomfort and affect your confidence and quality of life. The good news is that proper treatment can help you find relief! 🩺

Common symptoms of eczema include:
🔹 Dry, sensitive skin
🔹 Intense itching
🔹 Red, inflamed, or irritated patches
🔹 Rough, scaly, or cracked skin
🔹 Thickened skin from repeated scratching
🔹 Flare-ups that may come and go
🔹 Skin that may ooze or crust when severely irritated

✨ You don’t have to live with the itch!

Dr. Michael “Mike” Doucet, MD, and Nurse Practitioner Jennifer Marchand, NP, at Acadiana Practitioners are here to help you take control of your skin health.

Our dermatology team can help identify eczema, evaluate possible triggers, develop a personalized treatment plan, and recommend appropriate medications and skincare routines to reduce itching, calm inflammation, and help prevent future flare-ups.

💙 Healthy skin builds confidence. Let us help you feel comfortable in your skin again!
