Who Can Help Your Eczema?


Your doctors, pharmacists, nurses and dermatologists will be your best advice for the treatment of eczema.

In addition to prescribing the relevant treatment for your eczema, your doctor can give you advice on other ways to help control your eczema. If you are having difficulty controlling your eczema, your doctor may arrange for you to see a skin specialist (dermatologist). Always tell your doctor about any products you may have purchased yourself for your eczema, such as emollients, antihistamines, etc.

Some eczema treatments will be available at your local pharmacy, such as emollients and antihistamines. If you ask to speak to the pharmacist, he/she will be able to advice you on the most suitable treatment. The pharmacist will also be able to give general advice on how and when to apply these treatments, or any other treatments you may have been prescribed by your doctor.

You may get help from a dermatology nurse at your nearest hospital or clinic. The nurse will be able to show you when, how and in what quantities you should be applying your eczema treatment. You may also be given advice on other ways of controlling your eczema.

You may be referred to a dermatologist by your doctor. A dermatologist is a doctor specializing in skin conditions such as eczema. He/she will review your current treatment and be able to give you advice on any newer treatments available to help you with your eczema.
