What is Eczema?

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition that causes dry, red, itchy, and inflamed skin. It can appear anywhere on the body and tends to flare up periodically. Scratching can worsen the condition and lead to skin thickening or infection.

How common is it?

Eczema is very common, especially in children, though it can persist or develop in adulthood. Around 1 in 5 children and 1 in 10 adults in the UK are affected by some form of eczema.

What causes it?

Eczema is linked to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. People with eczema often have a weakened skin barrier, making them more sensitive to irritants, allergens, and climate changes. Stress, soaps, detergents, and certain fabrics can also trigger flare-ups.

What treatment options are offered?

Press Pharmacy offers a range of topical corticosteroids like Hydrocortisone and Betamethasone, which reduce inflammation and itching. These are used alongside emollients (moisturisers) to keep the skin hydrated and protected.

What are the side effects of treatment options?

Topical steroids can cause thinning of the skin if used excessively or for long periods. Mild irritation, burning, or stinging at the application site may occur. It's important to use these treatments exactly as directed and avoid prolonged use on delicate skin areas unless advised.
