Atopic dermatitis, also called eczema, is a common and chronic skin condition in which the skin appears inflamed, red, itchy and dry. Atopic dermatitis is most likely caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
In children with eczema, the skin barrier is broken down and therefore the skin loses moisture more easily, becoming more dry, easily irritated, and hypersensitive. The skin is also more prone to infection. Eczema usually starts as a dry red rash on the cheeks and around the mouth, then as children grow older, the rash appears on the body. Teenagers often have eczema on elbows, knees, hands, feet, and around the eyes.
There is no cure for Atopic Dermatitis but Dr. Heidi can definitely help you manage your child’s eczema to minimize their outbreaks of rash and increase their quality of life.
Children’s Dermatology is led by Board-Certified Dermatologist Dr. Heidi Goodarzi serving patients in Newport Beach, Irvine, Laguna Niguel & Orange County, CA.
Got the best doctor award today 💕
This kid gets a systemic medication injection from me every few weeks yet I am her favorite doctor - because it’s not about the treatment or the shot but it’s all about the relationship we build with patients, even the littlest ones.
I feel so much love and I love you babygirl. It’s an honor to have been your doctor for the past two years 🙏🏼💖

Do you know a redhead? I’ll stay all day and all night to teach a redhead child apply sunscreen properly ❤️
Redheads typically have mutations in the MC1R (melanocortin 1 receptor) gene. This mutation leads to the production of pheomelanin instead of eumelanin, resulting in red hair, fair skin, and increased sensitivity to UV radiation.
As gorgeous as they are, unfortunately they have increased risk of melanoma (even independent of their sun exposure), and increased risk of non-melanoma skin cancers such as basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas.
If you know a redhead please send this to them and encourage them to go see a dermatologist!
And for males, just get together and put sunscreen on them - it’s a team sport 😂😂

Food Allergy = when your child develops HIVES (or vomits) 30 minutes to 6 hours after ingestion of a food. These HIVES are raised, swollen, pink, and soft rashes. Antihistamines such as @zyrtecallergy are first line of treatment.
Eczema = DRY, ROUGH, SCALY RASH. It is a chronic skin condition and antihistamines do not resolve them.
📣 Food Allergy does NOT cause Eczema.
