Eczema Treatment

Eczema is an inflammatory skin condition often linked to immune imbalance, gut dysfunction, or environmental triggers. At Meeting Point Health, we look beyond the surface to identify the underlying causes driving inflammation and irritation. Through Functional Medicine, IV nutrients, and targeted therapies that restore immune and skin barrier health, we help calm flare-ups, reduce itching, and promote clear, resilient skin from within.

Eczema vs Psoriasis

Though eczema and psoriasis are similar, there are two distinct conditions. While both manifest as itchy, flaky, red patches on the skin, eczema is often located on the inside of the elbows, back of the knees, and face. Psoriasis can appear anywhere on the arms, legs, or scalp. They are often treated with topical salves and ointments and may go into remission before returning later.

In addition, psoriasis is caused by an autoimmune disease, while eczema is linked to genetics and a person’s environment. Psoriasis also only affects adults, while eczema affects both adults and children.

Functional Medicine

Functional Medicine is the practice of comprehensively testing different systems of the body to understand the root cause of your condition. The tests we perform for eczema include:

GI mapping stool test
Fungal antibodies
Micronutrients

Following testing, we will construct an individualized treatment plan involving one or more of the following:

Nutrition – a medicinal nutrition program involves removing foods triggers and increasing phytonutrients
Supplementation and Herbal Medicine – aimed at restoring micronutrient deficiencies, rebuilding proper gut health, and regulating your immune system that
Peptides – a regenerative natural therapy with a wide range of benefits including fighting infection, speed healing, reducing inflammation, treating leaky gut, reducing stress and anxiety, and more
Infusions – ozone and other nutritional IVs can help with chronic infection, chronic toxicity, immunity, pain, hydration and nutritional deficiencies
Infrared Sauna

Infrared light safely and effectively raises your core body temperature by penetrating one-third of an inch into the skin. This process encourages better circulation, detoxification and reduces inflammation to help your eczema heal as smooth, clear skin.

Detox Bath – we will formulate a proprietary detox bath formula that you can do at home to help rebalance your skin flora, restore your skin’s pH level, and soothe painful sores
Ozonated Water or Oil Therapy

Ozone Therapy

Ozone therapy uses ozonated (oxygen-rich) water or olive oil to eradicate inflammatory bacterial infections, moisten the skin, and make it pliable and elastic.

When Should I See A Doctor For Eczema?

No malady exists in a vacuum. Eczema is more than just an annoying rash—it’s a manifestation of an internal imbalance or low-grade infection. Regular health screenings and treatments can help manage your eczema and identify and address what’s causing such an inflammatory response.

Internal conditions related to eczema include:

Candidal Overgrowth
Gut Dysbiosis
Mold or Biotoxin overload
Vitamin deficiencies
Food intolerance

At Meeting Point, we test for these conditions and treat them along with your eczema to improve your overall health and well-being.

Eczema can take a toll on your personal comfort, which negatively impacts your mental health. Small irritations can become larger burdens, and we want to help prevent that. Our continuum of holistic treatments will help ease eczema’s signature itching and burning sensation, make your skin more pliable, and reduce the internal imbalances and infections that caused them in the first place.

At Meeting Point Health, we treat more than just your symptoms. We work with you to heal your condition from the inside out.

FAQs

Does Meeting Point Health accept insurance?

No, we do not accept insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid; however, we do take HSA/FSA, cash and credit cards. We also work with CareCredit if you choose to finance.

Our practitioners and staff fully understand and empathize with the challenges that patients face as they make financial decisions for proper health care. Our practice is very different from a conventional medical practice in many ways, and the time spent with each patient is usually 30-90 minutes. Visits with a physician covered by insurance generally allow for less than 10 minutes total! Conventional medical practices that take insurance maintain brief office visits and high patient loads for this reason. We cannot provide the expert care that every one of our patients deserves under those circumstances.

Insurance also dictates the types of treatments and order of treatments patients can receive for a particular condition. For example, if you visit your physician for chronic knee pain, they will likely start with a steroid injection because insurance requires that you exhaust steroid injection efforts before discussing other options, which may possibly impair your overall chances of recovery. Not good!

Opting out of insurance allows the patient and the doctor to maintain their medical autonomy, which is imperative to ensure you get the right treatment at the right time and the right dose.
