Eosinophilic fasciitis is a rare inflammatory condition that affects the fascia—the connective tissue beneath the skin and around muscles. It is characterized by swelling, inflammation, and thickening of the skin and fascia, leading to tightness, stiffness, and restricted movement in the arms, legs, or trunk. The condition often begins suddenly, sometimes after intense physical activity, and may cause the skin to appear shiny, firm, or indented over muscles. Blood tests typically show elevated eosinophils, a type of white blood cell involved in the inflammatory response.

Though eosinophilic fasciitis is not life-threatening, it can cause significant discomfort and impact mobility if not treated early. The exact cause remains unknown but is thought to involve autoimmune or allergic processes.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, we take a collaborative and personalized approach to managing eosinophilic fasciitis. Treatment may include corticosteroids, immunosuppressive medications, physical therapy, and ongoing skin care. Early intervention is key to reducing inflammation, preserving movement, and minimizing long-term skin changes, helping patients regain comfort and quality of life.
