It is safe to come back in. We are committed to your safety and well-being. We have implemented numerous operational procedures to ensure our clinics are taking extra precautions to keep you and our staff safe.




Our Patient Screening & Safety:

· We require face masks for all patients, staff, and visitors in our clinics – regardless of vaccination status.
· We are social distancing between patients and staff where practical and necessary.
· Our providers and team members are trained in infection control measures. We are disinfecting high-traffic areas (e.g. doors, iPads, computers, front desk, bathrooms, breakroom, etc.) multiple times a day.

Our Healthy Team:
· Every employee has their temperature checked and is screened for symptoms daily. Anyone exhibiting symptoms is required to stay home.

Atopic Dermatitis Eczema Treatment in La Jolla UTC in San Diego CA

Image
Though there is currently no cure for eczema , our dermatologists help thousands of eczema patients per year and have the knowledge and experience to provide relief. A treatment plan can involve any of the following options: moisturizing lotions and/or creams, topical anti-itch medications, oral antihistamines, and light therapy. A new oral medication, call dupilumab , can also treat chronic eczema. Our dermatologists understand how skin rashes like eczema and atopic dermatitis can be bothersome, as the itchiness and skin inflammation can make you self-conscious about your condition. What sets us apart is our focus on you as a person. We have the knowledge and experience to establish your type of eczema from a visual examination.

Men's Health Month & The Importance of Skin Checks in La Jolla/UTC.
