Eczema Treatments in Philadelphia
Eczema is an inflammatory condition characterized by very dry, red, and flaky patches of skin on the inside of the arms, back of the legs, face, and other sensitive areas. It’s most often caused by internal inflammation from a buildup of biotoxins, gut health imbalance, or low-grade overgrowth of pathogens like candida.

Meeting Point Health offers a continuum of care rich in evidence-based treatments to help treat your eczema at the source. From functional medicine to laser treatments, we can help ease your symptoms and heal your skin from the inside out.

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.
Eczema Treatment Options in Philadelphia
The Aerolase Neo is a medical-grade laser that pulses light through the skin to stimulate collagen production, suppress inflammation, kill bacteria, and encourage healthy cell regeneration.
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
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.

Does Meeting Point Health accept insurance?
Meeting Point Health does not accept insurance.
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, but 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 in 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.
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.
