We offer expert care for eczema, a chronic skin condition that causes inflammation, itching, and discomfort. Eczema can significantly impact daily life, but with our personalised treatment plans, we aim to help you manage symptoms effectively and improve your skin’s health. Our dermatologists specialise in treating all forms of eczema, offering relief and long-term management solutions.
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition that leads to red, itchy, and inflamed skin. It is most common in children but can affect people of all ages. Eczema can appear anywhere on the body, though it typically affects areas such as the face, hands, elbows, and knees. The condition tends to flare up periodically and can be triggered by various environmental factors, stress, or allergens.
There are several types of eczema, including:
Eczema develops due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors that cause the skin’s barrier function to become weak, allowing moisture to escape and irritants to penetrate. The exact cause of eczema is not fully understood, but several factors can trigger flare-ups, including:
Eczema often runs in families and is linked to conditions such as asthma or hay fever.
Allergens, irritants, cold weather, dry air, or pollutants can trigger eczema flare-ups.
In eczema, the immune system overreacts to irritants, causing inflammation and redness.
Emotional stress can exacerbate eczema symptoms, causing flare-ups.
Understanding what triggers your eczema is essential for managing the condition and reducing flare-ups.
We offer a range of treatment options to help manage and soothe eczema symptoms. Our dermatologists create customised treatment plans tailored to your skin type and the severity of your eczema.
Topical corticosteroids are commonly prescribed to reduce inflammation, itching, and redness associated with eczema. These creams and ointments are applied directly to affected areas to provide relief during flare-ups.
Keeping the skin hydrated is essential for managing eczema. We recommend specialised moisturisers and emollients that restore the skin’s barrier function and lock in moisture, preventing dryness and irritation.
For severe itching, antihistamines may be prescribed to help relieve discomfort and allow for better sleep during flare-ups.
For moderate to severe cases of eczema, where topical treatments are not enough, immunosuppressive medications such as calcineurin inhibitors or biologics (e.g., dupilumab) may be used to control the immune system’s overreaction and reduce inflammation.
Wet wrap therapy involves applying topical medications to the skin, followed by wet bandages to seal in moisture and provide faster relief from severe eczema symptoms. This method is often used for children or patients with widespread eczema.
We work with patients to identify specific triggers, whether they are environmental allergens, harsh skincare products, or dietary factors, and provide guidance on how to avoid them.
Maintaining a proper skincare routine and managing stress are key to controlling eczema. We offer advice on the best skincare products and techniques to minimise flare-ups and keep your skin healthy.
Our dermatologists develop tailored treatment strategies to address the unique needs of your skin and lifestyle.
From traditional therapies like topical steroids to cutting-edge biologics, we offer a full spectrum of treatment options for effective eczema management.
Our team has extensive experience in treating eczema, ensuring that you receive expert care and long-term relief from your symptoms.
We go beyond symptom management by helping you identify triggers and offering guidance on how to prevent future flare-ups.
Eczema is a chronic condition, meaning it cannot be cured. However, it can be effectively managed through the right treatments and lifestyle adjustments, helping reduce symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
To prevent flare-ups, keep your skin moisturised, avoid known triggers such as allergens and harsh soaps, manage stress, and follow a skincare routine recommended by your dermatologist.
Yes, many eczema treatments are safe for children. Your dermatologist will recommend age-appropriate medications and therapies to manage symptoms effectively while minimising side effects.
Common triggers include environmental allergens, stress, dry skin, irritants like harsh soaps or detergents, and certain foods. Identifying and avoiding your personal triggers is essential for controlling eczema.
With the right treatment, eczema symptoms can improve within a few days to weeks. However, ongoing management is necessary to prevent future flare-ups.
