What is Eczema?

Eczema is a chronic skin condition characterized by dry, red, and scaly rashes. About one in nine people in the UK are diagnosed with eczema at some point.

The term encompasses various persistent skin issues that cause symptoms like redness, swelling, itching, dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing, and bleeding. Scratching can lead to temporary discolouration and scarring.

The treatments by our expert team help reduce inflammation and itching without causing skin thinning, allowing the skin to heal. Effective treatment can eliminate eczema symptoms, providing significant relief from discomfort.

Treatment Options for Eczema

Eczema is a chronic condition that fluctuates, with flare-ups and periods of remission. While there’s no cure, many people experience symptom improvement as they grow older.

Treatment Options

Key treatments for managing eczema symptoms include:

  • Emollients: Daily moisturizers to prevent skin dryness.
  • Topical corticosteroids: Creams and ointments that reduce swelling and redness during flare-ups.
  • Antihistamines: For relief from severe itching.

It’s recommended to consult a dermatologist for a personalized treatment plan.

Lifestyle Changes

Lifestyle modifications can also enhance your treatment plan:

  • Minimize scratching of the affected areas.
  • Avoid triggers such as heat and irritants like certain soaps and fabrics.
  • Consider dietary changes to limit foods, such as dairy, that may worsen symptoms.

What are the symptoms of Eczema?

The primary symptoms of eczema include:

  • Dry, red, itchy skin
  • Cracked or crusted skin
  • Blisters
  • Oozing or bleeding
  • Sore, swollen areas
  • Red, purple, or grey patches

Symptoms can vary in severity, ranging from mild and localized to widespread and severe. If left untreated, symptoms often fluctuate, with improvements followed by flare-ups, occurring as frequently as 2 to 3 times a month.

Who Is Suitable for Treatment?

Treatment is suitable for anyone experiencing these symptoms and looking to improve their quality of life.

What Causes Eczema?

Eczema occurs when the skin struggles to retain moisture, leading to dryness that makes it more reactive to triggers, resulting in itchiness and discomfort.

Genetics play a significant role, with a strong family history linked to the condition. Atopic eczema, the most common type, typically appears early in life, often before a child’s first birthday. Children with parents or siblings who have eczema are at higher risk of developing it.

While stress isn’t a direct cause, it can trigger flare-ups in those already affected, as stress increases cortisol levels, leading to inflammation.

Common environmental triggers for eczema flare-ups include:

  • Irritants like soaps and detergents
  • Cold, dry weather
  • Food allergies
  • Certain fabrics, such as wool and synthetics
  • Hormonal changes
  • Skin infections
  • Stress
