What an MD Wants You To Know About Eczema in Skin of Color

What an MD Wants You To Know About Eczema in Skin of Color

Skin disorders, especially when it comes to people of color, can often be misdiagnosed or overlooked during doctor’s appointments. Board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Diego Ruiz Dasilva, emphasizes the importance of taking an individualized approach to care for people of color with skin disorders. This personalized approach is crucial for getting the right diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

One of Dr. Ruiz Dasilva’s patients, Michael, struggled with uncontrolled, moderate to severe eczema for nearly 15 years before finding relief. Eczema can present differently on skin of color, often leading to misdiagnosis. Symptoms such as hyperpigmentation, finely raised skin-colored bumps, and less red dry patches are common in people of color with eczema, as opposed to the more classic red, raw, and oozy appearance seen in lighter skin tones.

Living with eczema can be challenging, as Michael experienced. Constant itching and discomfort can take a toll on one’s mental and emotional well-being. Finding a doctor who listens and takes the time to understand the patient’s unique symptoms and concerns is key to proper diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Ruiz Dasilva stresses the importance of open communication between patients and healthcare providers.

For Michael, finding the right treatment, such as RINVOQ (upadacitinib), made a significant difference in managing his eczema. RINVOQ is a prescription medicine used to treat moderate to severe eczema in individuals 12 years and older who have not responded to previous treatments. Some patients have experienced relief from itching and skin clearance within a few days or weeks of starting RINVOQ.

It is essential to discuss treatment options with a healthcare provider before starting any medication. RINVOQ, like any medication, may have potential side effects, so it is crucial to be aware of these risks and benefits. Patients should always communicate any concerns or symptoms to their healthcare provider while on RINVOQ.

In conclusion, finding the right diagnosis and treatment for skin disorders, especially in people of color, requires a personalized approach and open communication between patients and healthcare providers. By sharing their symptoms and concerns, individuals can work with their doctors to find the most effective treatment plan for their unique needs.
