Our Eczema Treatment Options
Eczema manifests differently for each individual, which is why we offer a range of treatments to effectively manage your condition. Our dermatologists work closely with you to find the most suitable options, focusing on both symptom relief and long-term management.
1. Topical Treatments
Topical treatments are often the first step in managing eczema symptoms. These medications help to reduce inflammation, soothe itching, and keep the skin hydrated.
Types of Topical Treatments Include:
- Corticosteroid Creams: Reduce inflammation and redness, providing relief from itching.
- Calcineurin Inhibitors: Non-steroidal creams that help control inflammation and itching.
- Moisturisers and Emollients: Essential for maintaining skin hydration and preventing flare-ups.
2. Phototherapy (Light Therapy)
For moderate to severe cases of eczema that do not respond to topical treatments, phototherapy can be an effective option. This involves exposing the affected areas to controlled doses of ultraviolet (UV) light to reduce inflammation and alleviate itching.
Phototherapy Services Include:
- Narrowband UVB Therapy: Uses a specific wavelength of UV light to target and calm inflamed skin.
- PUVA Therapy: Combines UVA light exposure with a photosensitising medication (psoralen) for enhanced results.
3. Systemic Treatments
For severe eczema, systemic treatments such as oral medications or injections may be necessary to control the body’s inflammatory response. These treatments work throughout the body to alleviate symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
Available Systemic Treatments:
- Oral Medications: Include immunosuppressants like ciclosporin or methotrexate to control inflammation.
- Biologic Injections: Target specific pathways in the immune system to reduce inflammation and prevent skin reactions.
4. Lifestyle and Skincare Advice
Effective eczema management often extends beyond medical treatments. Our dermatologists will provide you with practical lifestyle and skincare guidance to help keep your symptoms under control.
Lifestyle Support Includes:
- Tips on using fragrance-free and hypoallergenic skincare products.
- Advice on dietary changes and identifying potential food triggers.
- Stress management techniques to minimise flare-ups.
