Eczema is a common condition where the skin becomes inflamed, red, thickened and with a rash. It is caused by irritants which may include foods, stress, weather changes, woollen clothing, perfumes and chemicals. Excessive contact with water and irritation from soaps and detergents, infections, overheating and genetics can also be factors.
Flare-ups are managed with topical corticosteroids and sufferers with mild to moderate eczema can be supplied treatment from our accredited Pharmacist. To be eligible, the person must be over 3 months, not pregnant or breastfeeding and not currently unwell or have fever.
