Dear John Doe,  
Re: Dermatology Consultation  
I am writing to provide a summary of your recent dermatology consultation.  
Reason for Visit:  
You visited our clinic due to persistent eczema on your arms and legs, which has been worsening over the past few months despite over-the-counter treatments.  
Medical History:  
You have a history of asthma and seasonal allergies, with no previous surgeries.  
Medications:  
You are currently taking loratadine for allergies and using a hydrocortisone cream for eczema.  
Allergies:  
You have a known allergy to penicillin.  
Social History:  
You are a non-smoker and consume alcohol occasionally. You work as a software engineer and have a sedentary lifestyle.  
Examination Findings:  
On examination, there were erythematous, scaly patches on the extensor surfaces of the arms and legs, consistent with eczema.  
Investigations:  
No additional investigations were ordered at this time.  
Diagnosis:  
The clinical findings are consistent with atopic dermatitis.  
Management Plan:  
I have prescribed a stronger topical corticosteroid to be applied twice daily. Additionally, I recommend using a fragrance-free moisturizer and avoiding known irritants. A follow-up appointment is scheduled in four weeks to assess your response to the treatment.  
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or require further information.  
Yours sincerely,  
Dr. Emily Johnson
