Allergies & Eczema

Relieving Symptoms While Supporting Whole-Child Immune Health

At Heal Pediatrics, we understand that allergies and eczema (atopic dermatitis) can significantly affect a child’s comfort, sleep, behavior, and quality of life. These conditions are common in childhood and are often interconnected. Our approach focuses on relieving symptoms while thoughtfully addressing contributing factors that may influence immune and skin health.

Understanding Eczema & Allergies in Children

Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that often begins in infancy or early childhood, causing dry, itchy, inflamed skin and recurrent flares. Allergies occur when the immune system reacts to substances such as foods, pollen, dust mites, mold, or pet dander. Many children experience overlap between eczema, allergies, asthma, and other inflammatory conditions.

Our Approach at Heal Pediatrics

We take a comprehensive, individualized approach, combining conventional pediatrics with integrative and functional strategies—always guided by your child’s unique needs.

1. Comprehensive Evaluation

We begin with a detailed medical, developmental, family, and environmental history, along with a thorough skin examination when eczema is present.

2. Advanced Testing When Appropriate

When clinically indicated, we may recommend additional testing to better understand underlying contributors, including:

• Allergy testing (skin or blood-based)
• Advanced gut testing to evaluate digestion, microbiome balance, and inflammation
• Bioenergetic testing as an adjunctive, non-invasive tool to help guide individualized care
