ScheduleWhat Is Contact Dermatitis?
Contact dermatitis is among the most common skin conditions that can affect adults and children at any given time of the year. In fact, patients from all over Brentwood, Franklin, and Antioch, TN visit Brentwood Skin Clinic for treatment year-round. Dermatitis is a basic term for a condition that can present itself in many different ways after coming in contact with an allergen. The most obvious symptoms include skin that is flaky, crusty, itchy, red, and at times blistered. Dermatologist Dr. Austin Mitchell will evaluate your skin, determine what is causing the breakout, and recommend a proper therapy in addition to a regimen to follow to avoid additional flare-ups. For more information, schedule a consultation with Dr. Mitchell at our Nashville, TN office.
How Is Contact Dermatitis Treated?
Since every patient's contact dermatitis symptoms vary, treatments can fluctuate significantly and should be decided upon once Dr. Mitchell thoroughly assesses the condition. If the cause of your contact dermatitis is unknown, he will begin by discussing your symptoms to get a better idea of what caused the reaction. He may recommend taking a patch test where small amounts of allergens are placed on the skin to determine your allergy. Once the cause of your contact dermatitis is determined, we can help treat it. Dr. Mitchell can prescribe corticosteroid ointments to be applied to affected areas. Some patients benefit from a topical steroid treatment or an oral corticosteroid. Depending on your diagnosis, Dr. Mitchell will be able to create a treatment plan to help reduce your symptoms.
Contact Dermatitis Reviews
Dr. Mitchell is the best dermatologist I have ever been to. He was able to diagnose my eczema as being a more extreme case when others were not. I like him because he will not give you strong dose of steroids unless he believes you absolutely need them (in most cases you don't). He will work with you and really cares about your well-being. He will listen to all of your concerns is very courteous. The nurses and receptionist are great as well. They are quick and friendly and very informative. I was able to get to my appointment, be seen and be back to work in under an hour! And that was with a 30 minute drive round trip! I will definitely only see Dr. Mitchell from now on and will recommend him to all of my friends and family.
