Our Eczema Treatment Service
Initial Consultation
During your initial consultation, our dermatologists will assess your specific symptoms and affected areas of skin. This allows them to determine the type of Eczema that you have and identify any possible triggers.
Treatment
We can then recommend the best course of treatment including any dietary or lifestyle changes that may have a positive effect on managing the symptoms.
Reassessment
If the initial treatment plan become ineffective, it will be reassessed and a new treatment plan will be recommended so that the most appropriate treatment is always in place.
What is Eczema?
Eczema is a long-term condition that is characterised by dry, itchy, cracked, flaky and red skin. Eczema is commonly found in children and can improve as they get older. However, adults can also have it.
How do we treat Eczema?
Treatments for eczema include:
Moisturising creams or ointments:
These help keep your skin moist and should be applied several times every day. Steroid creams and ointments: These can help reduce the itching, redness and swelling. If used inappropriately, they may cause side effects, such as skin thinning.
Steroid creams and ointments:
These can help reduce the itching, redness and swelling. If used inappropriately, they may cause side effects, such as skin thinning.
Topical calcineurin inhibitors:
These may be used when the eczema is not responding to topical steroids, or in skin sites which are more susceptible to the side effects of steroids, such as the face, eyelids and armpits and groin.
Antihistamine pills:
Can help relieve itching or help sleep at night.
Light therapy:
This can be helpful for some patients with chronic eczema. It is given under the supervision of a health care professional.
Medicines that change the way that the immune system works:
These medicines are only for patients with severe or widespread eczema not responding to topical treatments. They are given under the close supervision of a consultant dermatologist.
If you’re suffering from Eczema, don’t hesitate to contact us and book a consultation with our dermatologists to discuss your treatment options.

Can Eczema be cured?
There is no known cure for eczema. However, there are treatments to keep it under control and the symptoms can be treated to lessen the discomfort that patient experiences.
Following your consultation, our dermatologists will develop a treatment plan that best suits your needs and condition. From there, a treatment plan can be developed to continue to provide the best possible relief if the original treatment were to become less effective over time.
