Eczema

About this condition

Eczema is a long-running condition where patches of skin become dry, itchy and inflamed, often at the elbows, knees, hands or neck. It commonly comes and goes, and is frequently linked to allergies or a family tendency.

How a consultation works

The consultation looks at your history of allergies and asthma, what you come into contact with day to day, and how the patches behave through the year. Skin care and avoiding irritants are discussed alongside any remedy.
