Treatment options available

Support can include emollients, soap substitutes, and anti-inflammatory creams for flares. You also get advice on itch control, trigger reduction, and when an infection check is needed.

Who this is for

This service suits you if you have recurring dry, itchy patches, red inflamed skin, or frequent flares. It can also help if you are unsure whether your current products are helping or irritating.

How it works

You complete an online questionnaire and share photos if requested. A clinician reviews your symptoms and current products, then you receive a step-by-step plan, including what to use daily and during flares.

Safety and clinician review

Eczema treatments work best when matched to the right area and severity. Your review checks for signs of infection, allergy, or other skin conditions. You also get clear instructions to reduce irritation and avoid overuse.

Daily care that prevents flares

Moisturise often, not only when you itch. Apply emollient after bathing while skin is still slightly damp. Use lukewarm water and keep showers short. Switch from scented soaps to a gentle soap substitute.

Use flare treatments safely

Use prescribed steroid creams as directed, then stop when the flare settles. Apply a thin layer to inflamed areas only. Leave a short gap between steroid and moisturiser applications so each can work properly.
