Eczema is a chronic relapsing condition that affects the skin. It is accompanied by acute inflammatory processes and symptoms. The disease is not contagious, has an allergic nature, and is characterized by skin rashes that cause burning, itching, and pain.
Eczema can occur in people of all ages, regardless of social status and gender. The doctors at Ichilov Top clinic have accumulated vast experience in treating a wide range of skin diseases. Thousands of patients from around the world come to Israel every year to be treated for dermatitis and eczema.
For the treatment of eczema, our clinic employs both modern conservative methods and procedures that have proven their effectiveness over time. Israel is known as an international health resort - it is unlikely that there is a person who has not heard of the healing properties of the Dead Sea resorts and therapeutic muds that can relieve people from chronic skin diseases.
Eczema Treatment at Top Ichilov Clinic
For the treatment of eczema, antihistamines and glucocorticoid hormones are used. As local treatment - ointments, creams, and wet-dry dressings with antibacterial solutions. Comprehensive treatment of this complex disease leads to the subsiding of inflammatory processes. Remission periods become prolonged, and new rashes do not appear. However, provoking factors can exacerbate the course of the disease.
Simultaneously with local treatment, strengthening and treating the whole body is conducted. Patients must undergo a course of procedures to strengthen immunity, dietary treatment, and replenish vitamins and minerals.
Dead Sea – a place that relieves eczema
The healing properties of the mud sources of the Dead Sea are recognized worldwide. People have been treated here since ancient times. The healing natural properties and climatic balneological features of the Dead Sea are utilized by the clinic's doctors to relieve patients from suffering. Unique mud successfully heals eczema, preventing exacerbation periods, and gradually all skin manifestations disappear.
Resort treatment involves the use of natural materials: mud therapy, sea baths, sun and air baths, and wrapping with algae. Without medical drugs, patients are cured of eczema, their overall condition improves, and sleep normalizes. Specialists at the "Top Ichilov" clinic recommend that people suffering from eczema regularly undergo sanatorium-resort treatment at the Dead Sea.

Diagnosis of Eczema in Israel
The causes of the disease are external and internal factors. External factors may include: thermal, mechanical, chemical, or bacterial agents. Internal factors include: diseases of internal organs, metabolic disorders, chronic diseases, dysbiosis, vascular insufficiency, and nervous disorders.
The course of eczema is characterized by: erythematous stage, papulovesicular stage, oozing stage, and crust stage. The disease is accompanied by itching and burning in the affected areas. There is no clear localization of the foci; they most often appear on the head, neck, and upper limbs, with symmetry of the foci observed. Constant itching often leads to nervous disorders in patients and insomnia. Scratching the affected areas leads to infection, worsening the patients' condition. Chronic eczema is characterized by periodic exacerbations of the disease alternating with remission periods.
For examining patients suspected of having eczema, our clinic employs modern differential diagnostic methods that allow for the exclusion of other skin pathologies - scabies, trichophytosis, dermatitis, etc. Microscopic examination of the skin and a comprehensive blood test are conducted during the diagnosis. Thanks to rapid and accurate diagnostics, it is possible to promptly establish the cause of the skin disease and prescribe the necessary treatment course.
