A member asked:
Is eczema an autoimmune or allergic condition? what type of doc should i see to diagnose it correctly? family history has me suspecting it.

Dermatologist: Assuming you have ATOPIC DERMATITIS this is a SKIN disorder. Genetics is the main driver. Clearly skin disorders are best treated by skin DRs. Not autoimmune. Not allergy. Not psychiatric. SKIN. We have very effective therapies.
