Book onlineAbout eczema & psoriasis
Eczema causes dry, itchy, inflamed skin and often flares with irritants, stress, or weather changes. Psoriasis causes red, scaly patches from faster-than-normal skin cell turnover — both are long-term conditions managed rather than cured, with flares and calmer periods.
Treatment is usually stepped: regular moisturising (emollients) as the foundation, topical steroids or other creams for flares, with stronger options for more extensive or resistant cases.
Online review suits a diagnosed flare-up needing treatment or a repeat prescription. Widespread, rapidly worsening, or infected-looking skin (increasing redness, warmth, pus) needs an in-person look.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I moisturise?
Most eczema-prone skin benefits from emollient use at least twice daily, even between flares — consistency matters more than the specific product.
Can I get a repeat of my steroid cream online?
Yes, for an established, diagnosed flare pattern — your GP will check nothing has changed since your last prescription.
How do I know if my skin is infected?
Signs include increasing redness, warmth, swelling, pus, or fever — these need an in-person assessment rather than a written request.
Is psoriasis contagious?
No — psoriasis is not infectious; it’s related to how skin cells regenerate, not to contact with others.
