Eczema is a chronic skin disorder that appears as a dry skin rash, often with red and scaly symptoms. An estimated one in every nine people in the UK have been diagnosed with eczema at some point in their lives.
The term eczema is broadly applied to a range of persistent skin conditions that cause a wide variety of symptoms — redness, skin edema (swelling), itching and dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing or bleeding. Temporary skin discolouration and scarring may also occur as a result of scratching uncomfortable rashes caused by eczema.
There are a variety of different treatments available that can be applied as standalone treatments or in combination with each other. These range from emollients for use in the bath or shower, medicinal moisturisers to relieve acute itchiness and weak topical steroids or immunosuppressants for stronger cases. These steroids are applied externally to the skin and reduce inflammation and itching without causing skin thinning, enabling the skin to heal more effectively.
Successful treatment typically results in full elimination of eczema symptoms and can therefore provide relief from existing discomfort and irritation.
Whatever your personal requirements, you can rest assured that we will provide the leading UK consultants and techniques at our state-of-the-art, purpose-built, central London facility.

Why Do People Have It?
The benefits of treatment for eczema include:
Eczema is caused when the skin is unable to retain moisture and the surface of the skin gets very dry. This dryness may make the skin more likely to react to certain triggers, causing it to become itchy and sore.
An inability to retain moisture in the skin can be caused by genetics, and there is a strong family link between those who suffer from eczema.
Atopic eczema is not infectious, so it cannot be passed on through close contact.
The following environmental triggers are also indicated for eczema flare-ups:
Testimonials
The Cadogan Clinic and my consultants Dr Granite and Dr Sadideen are truly experts in their field, and have looked after all my skincare concerns and needs. I highly recommend then and would never go see anyone else! I cannot recommend them enough.
I was seen by Dr Catherine Borysiewicz about some long standing skin conditions. I am delighted with her diagnosis and the treatment plan has made a huge impact on my skin health in the time since. I would definitely recommend
I was deeply impressed with the service and professionalism of Cadogan Clinic. I saw a lovely dermatologist - Dr Seghers - who really put me at ease and who I will most definitely visit again. Staff were so friendly, reception left no question unanswered. I will definitely be recommending to family and friends
I am very pleased with the extremely efficient help and advice I received from Cadogan Clinic recently when I was worried about a skin problem. I was impressed with how quickly and efficiently my friendly patient advisor was able to reassure me and expedite a consultation with Dr Semkova. I highly recommend the clinic and the very professional team who work there.
I had a wonderful experience at the Cadogan Clinic. I immediately felt taken care of by my friendly patient advisor and I was supported the whole way through my course of treatments. My skin is no longer struggling with acne and scarring thanks to Dr Griffiths. Each time I left the clinic after an appointment my confidence had been boosted and I am doing much much better with myself now.
I was delighted with the service, right from making a telephone booking to attending the Clinic for my dermatology appointment with the knowledgeable Dr Tsiotsios. Staff are also very friendly and knowledgeable.

3 Easy Steps
When should I seek medical advice for my eczema?
You should seek medical advice as soon as your first symptoms begin.
Some key information to share with your dermatologist includes:
+ whether the rash is itchy and where it appears
+ when the symptoms first began
+ whether it comes and goes over time
+ whether there's a history of atopic eczema in your family
+ whether you have any other conditions, such as allergies or asthma
+ whether something in your diet or lifestyle may be contributing to your symptoms
Is eczema genetic?
There is evidence that eczema is genetic and it is common that eczema sufferers also have family members who suffer from the condition.
This is a very common disorder, however, impacting roughly 10% of children and a variety of other causes are also known to be associated beyond genetics, including an array of environmental and medical causes.
Is eczema contagious?
Eczema is not contagious
Is eczema dangerous?
Eczema is not typically dangerous, although at its most severe symptoms can be extremely uncomfortable and distressing. You should seek medical advice if you are experiencing symptoms
Will eczema go away on its own?
Eczema is a chronic condition. It is common for symptoms to improve with age, however, and your symptoms may go into remission of their own accord, even without proper treatment and control
Is there a cure for eczema?
Eczema is a chronic condition. There is no cure for eczema. Some treatments can control the condition permanently, or even prompt long remissions.
But since eczema is linked to genetic makeup, we do not have a permanent cure for the disease
Is my eczema treatment permanent?
Whilst your results may essentially prove permanent, treatments are only able to control the disease and are not able to fully cure it.
It will not be known at the outset whether your treatment is able to deliver permanent results for you
How can I tell the difference between eczema and psoriasis?
It is often difficult for an untrained eye to tell the difference between the two conditions.
You will need to seek a professional medical opinion from a trained dermatologist to understand your skin condition if you are unsure
