Our Niche: Education on Skin Infections – Eczema and Psoriasis

At Alice Place Medical Care Services, one of our key areas of focus is patient and caregiver education on skin infections, with a special emphasis on eczema and psoriasis. We believe that knowledge is a powerful tool in managing chronic skin conditions, improving quality of life, and preventing complications.

What We Teach:

Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)

• What it is: A chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes dry, itchy, and inflamed skin.

• Triggers: Allergens, stress, weather changes, and skin irritants.

• Symptoms: Redness, itching, oozing, crusting, and thickened skin.

• Management Tips:

  • Daily moisturizing

  • Identifying and avoiding triggers

  • Proper use of topical treatments and medications

  • Lifestyle adjustments for flare-up prevention

Psoriasis

• What it is: An autoimmune condition that causes rapid skin cell buildup, resulting in scaling and inflammation.

• Types: Plaque psoriasis, guttate, inverse, pustular, and erythrodermic.

• Symptoms: Silvery scales, red patches, itching, and joint pain (in psoriatic arthritis).

• Management Tips:

  • Understanding treatment options (topicals, biologics, phototherapy)

  • Diet and lifestyle considerations

  • Skin care routines to minimize discomfort and scaling

Why Our Teaching Matters:

• We simplify medical information into clear, practical guidance.

• Our goal is to empower patients and caregivers with tools to recognize symptoms, manage flare-ups, and seek the right treatment.

• We provide handouts, one-on-one coaching, and tele-education options as part of our house call services.

Let us help you take control of your skin health—one visit, one lesson at a time.
