Persistent itch, inflamed skin, and recurring flares don't have to be your reality. We identify your specific triggers, prescribe the right barrier repair and immunomodulator therapy, and build a personalised flare-prevention plan.
Whether it's infant atopic eczema, adult hand eczema, or occupational contact dermatitis — we diagnose the correct subtype and tailor treatment accordingly.
Eczema affects 15–20% of children. We use age-appropriate, low-potency topicals, fragrance-free emollients, and dietary trigger identification — with a safe, low-steroid approach for young skin.
Chronic adult eczema managed with topical calcineurin inhibitors (tacrolimus, pimecrolimus), judicious corticosteroids, and robust emollient routines — reducing flare frequency and severity long-term.
Triggered by specific allergens (nickel, fragrances, hair dye, rubber) — identified precisely with 36-allergen standard European patch testing. Avoidance guidance and barrier repair prescribed.
Chronic hand eczema from repeated water exposure or workplace irritants. Treated with potent topical steroids under occlusion, barrier repair emollients, and occupational modification advice.
Flaky, red scalp and facial skin caused by Malassezia yeast overgrowth. Treated with ketoconazole shampoo, low-potency facial steroids, and antifungal creams — with clear maintenance instructions.
When topical therapy fails, systemic immunosuppressants (Cyclosporin, Methotrexate, Azathioprine) are carefully prescribed with baseline and follow-up blood monitoring — providing significant relief.
No two eczema patients are the same — triggers, severity, and skin type all vary. We take a thorough approach before prescribing anything.
Your dermatologist evaluates eczema subtype, severity (EASI score), body surface area affected, past treatment history, and family history of atopy. We score itch and sleep disturbance using POEM.
Common triggers (dust mites, pet dander, certain foods, soaps, sweat, climate) are systematically identified. Patch testing or prick testing is arranged where allergic contact or food-triggered eczema is suspected.
A written emollient regimen is prescribed — the correct emollient for your skin type (cream, ointment, lotion), applied in the right quantity and frequency. This is the single most important aspect of long-term control.
Topical corticosteroids are prescribed in the appropriate potency for the affected site (face vs body). Topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCIs) are prescribed for long-term face and eyelid eczema to avoid steroid side effects.
You receive a written action plan for flares — which cream to use when, at what potency, for how long, and when to seek review. Patients with a clear plan have significantly fewer hospitalisations.
We review at 4–6 weeks. If not adequately controlled, step-up therapy (wet wraps, NBUVB, systemic agents) is introduced in a systematic, safe manner with appropriate monitoring.
Most eczema patients have been given repeated steroid prescriptions without ever identifying their triggers. We find the cause, repair the barrier, and give you the tools to control your own skin.
We perform standard European patch testing (36 allergens) to identify the specific substances triggering your contact dermatitis — information that permanently changes how you manage your skin.
We minimise corticosteroid use by introducing TCIs (tacrolimus, pimecrolimus) for long-term maintenance — safe for sensitive sites like the face, neck, and eyelids where steroids cause thinning.
We have age-specific protocols for infant, childhood, and adult eczema — with appropriate topical potency for each age group and full parental guidance on safe application technique.
Every patient leaves with a documented flare action plan — what to do at the first sign of a flare, what escalates treatment, and when to seek urgent review. This dramatically reduces uncontrolled flares.
