01What Is Eczema?
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a common condition that makes the skin dry, itchy, red and inflamed. It happens when the skin barrier doesn't hold moisture well and becomes easily irritated. Eczema often starts in childhood but can appear at any age.
It's not contagious. Eczema tends to flare up and settle down, and with the right care most people keep it well under control.
02Types Of Eczema
Atopic Dermatitis
The most common type, often linked to allergies, asthma or hay fever in the family.
Contact Dermatitis
A reaction to something touching the skin — soaps, detergents, metals or cosmetics.
Dyshidrotic Eczema
Small, itchy blisters on the hands and feet.
Seborrhoeic Dermatitis
Flaky, oily patches on the scalp, eyebrows and around the nose.
03Symptoms
- Dry, rough or scaly skin
- Intense itching, often worse at night
- Red or darker inflamed patches
- Cracked skin that may ooze or crust
- Thickened skin from long-term scratching
04Common Triggers
- Soaps, detergents and perfumed products
- Heat, sweating and dry weather
- Dust mites and pet dander
- Wool or synthetic fabrics
- Stress

05Diagnosis
Your doctor examines your skin and asks about your symptoms, triggers, family history and products you use. If an allergy is suspected, further testing may be suggested.
06Treatment Options
Medicated Creams
Prescription creams calm inflammation and itching during flare-ups.
Emollients
Daily, generous moisturising repairs the skin barrier and prevents flares.

Trigger Plan
Guidance on products, fabrics and habits that keep your skin calm.
07Daily Skin Care For Eczema

- Moisturise within 3 minutes of bathing
- Use fragrance-free soap and detergent
- Wear soft cotton clothing
- Keep nails short to prevent scratch damage
08Eczema In Children
Eczema often starts in babies and young children, usually on the cheeks, elbows and behind the knees. Gentle bathing, regular moisturising and soft cotton clothes help a lot. Many children improve as they grow, and our doctors can recommend safe treatments for young skin.
