Understanding eczema
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a long-lasting skin condition that causes dry, itchy, inflamed patches which come and go.
Common triggers
The skin barrier is fragile and the immune system overreacts. Heat, sweat, chlorine, sea water, sunscreen, stress and new soaps can start a flare.
Care and treatment for eczema
Photos and a video call let the physician evaluate your skin, recommend creams and ways to avoid triggers, and prescribe for a flare. Please share which creams you normally use. Typical choices are emollients, topical corticosteroids for flares and antihistamines for itching.
- Use mild, fragrance-free cleansers
- Keep nails short and avoid scratching
- Moisturise generously and frequently
