Personalized Eczema Care by a Board-Certified Dermatologist

Eczema is exhausting. Not just on your skin, but on your sleep, your confidence, and your patience with treatments that only work for a little while. If you have tried creams, changed your diet, and still find yourself back at square one, you are not doing anything wrong. You just have not had the right plan yet.

At Johns Creek Dermatology, we do not treat flare-ups and send you home. We are a family-owned, physician-led practice that takes time to understand whaat is actually driving your eczema, and we build a plan around your skin, your triggers, and your life. No quick fixes. No guesswork.

Eczema Relief That Actually Lasts

Managing eczema is not about treating one flare and calling it done. It requires thoughtful, ongoing care from a physician who takes the time to understand your skin.

Many patients come to us after cycling through providers who only addressed surface symptoms, or after years of trial and error with products that provided temporary relief at best. At Johns Creek Dermatology, we offer something different: a long-term focus built on accurate diagnosis, education, and a plan that evolves as your skin changes.

Our approach goes beyond prescriptions. We are here to help you manage flare-ups, protect your skin barrier, and regain confidence in your daily life.

Which Type of Eczema Are You Dealing With?

We treat all forms of eczema. The types listed below are the most common presentations we see, but if your condition is not listed, that does not mean we cannot help. Every patient receives a full evaluation regardless of their specific diagnosis.

Atopic Dermatitis

The most common form of eczema, often beginning in childhood and persisting into adulthood. It tends to appear on the face, neck, inner elbows, and behind the knees.

Hand Eczema (Hand Dermatitis)

Frequent in people who wash their hands often or work with chemicals. Hand eczema causes cracking, peeling, and significant discomfort that can interfere with daily tasks.

Scalp Eczema (Seborrheic Dermatitis)

Presents as itching, flaking, and redness along the scalp and hairline. It is often mistaken for dandruff but requires targeted dermatologic care to manage effectively.

Contact Dermatitis

Triggered by direct skin contact with allergens or irritants such as fragrances, metals, or cleaning products. Patch testing helps identify the specific cause.

Treatment-Resistant Eczema

For patients with persistent eczema that has not responded to previous care, we conduct a thorough evaluation to explore all available medical options appropriate for your case.

Our Approach to Eczema Care: Medical and Cosmetic

We don't believe treating eczema stops when the flare calms down. Our approach addresses both the underlying condition and what it leaves behind on your skin.

Comprehensive Evaluation First

We take time to understand your full history. When flares occur, what triggers them, what you have already tried, and how eczema is affecting your daily life. This conversation shapes everything that follows.

Accurate Diagnosis

We use advanced diagnostic tools when needed, including dermatoscopy, patch testing to identify contact allergens, skin cultures to rule out secondary infections, and skin biopsy when a precise diagnosis is required.

Medical Treatment

We begin with a thorough evaluation to determine whether your triggers are genetic, autoimmune, environmental, or allergic. Your personalized plan may include prescription topicals to calm inflammation and restore the skin barrier, systemic options for moderate to severe cases, phototherapy to reduce immune-driven inflammation, and a skincare routine built for sensitive, reactive skin.

Cosmetic Restoration

Once symptoms are under control, we shift focus to rebuilding what eczema has taken from your skin. This may include barrier-repair therapies to strengthen sensitive skin, hydrating clinical treatments including HydraFacial, gentle chemical peels to soften roughness, and microneedling for post-flare rejuvenation when appropriate. Every plan is adjusted for your skin tone, sensitivity, and long-term goals.

Ongoing Care, Built Into Every Plan

Eczema does not resolve in one visit and neither does our care. We monitor your skin over time, adjust your plan as your needs change, and are here when flare-ups return.

What Makes Our Eczema Care Different

Physician-Led, Every Visit

Your care is directed by Dr. Timani, a board-certified dermatologist, not a general practitioner or mid-level provider. When it comes to a complex condition like eczema, that distinction matters.

Family-Owned Practice

We are not a high-volume chain. We take time with each patient, and your relationship with our practice is built over years, not a single appointment.

Serving Johns Creek, Sandy Springs, Atlanta, and Surrounding

Areas Our practice is conveniently located for families across North Atlanta who need reliable, expert dermatologic care close to home.

Safe for All Ages and Skin Types

We treat eczema in children, adults, and older patients, and we have experience managing eczema across all skin tones with precision and care.

Questions Patients Ask Us About Eczema

Is eczema curable?

Eczema does not have a cure, but it is very manageable with the right treatment plan. Many patients achieve long periods of clear, comfortable skin with consistent physician-led care.

What is eczema and what causes it?

Eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes the skin barrier to break down, making skin more vulnerable to irritants, allergens, and moisture loss. Common triggers include stress, climate changes, certain fabrics, and allergens. It is a medical condition, not a hygiene issue, and it responds well to proper dermatologic care.

How do I know if I need a dermatologist for my eczema?

If over-the-counter creams are not providing relief, your eczema is spreading or worsening, your skin is cracking or showing signs of infection, or eczema is disrupting your sleep or daily life, it is time to see a board-certified dermatologist.

Do you treat children with eczema?

Yes. We provide eczema care for patients of all ages, including infants and young children, with treatment protocols appropriate for their age and skin sensitivity.

What should I expect at my first appointment?

Your first visit includes a thorough review of your skin history, a clinical skin exam, and a conversation about your triggers, lifestyle, and treatment goals. You will leave with a clear plan, not just a prescription.
