What is eczema?
Eczema is a condition that causes the skin to become itchy, dry and cracked. Some people only have small patches of skin that are affected, but others may experience eczema all over the body. Although it can affect any part of the body, it most often affects the hands, insides of the elbows, backs of the knees, face and scalp.
When to see a doctor:
See a GP if you have experienced the following symptoms for long periods of time in the last 12 months:
- Visibly irritated red skin in the creases of your skin (e.g insides of elbows or behind the knees).
- Generally very dry skin.
- A history of asthma or hayfever.
How can we treat eczema and dry skin conditions?
Many different treatments can be used to control the symptoms caused by eczema including:
Self-care techniques:

- Avoiding triggers such as perfumed products and harsh soaps.
Emollients:

How do emollients work?
