What is Eczema?

Eczema is a chronic, non-contagious skin condition that causes the skin to become dry, itchy, red and inflamed. It often appears as patches of rough, flaky skin that may crack, weep, or bleed when scratched. Eczema can affect people of all ages, from infants to adults, and tends to flare up periodically.

Eczema develops due to a combination of the following factors:

Treatments

Prednisolone

An oral corticosteroid used to manage severe eczema flare-ups by reducing inflammation and suppressing immune response. 
Slows movement of white blood cells responsible for inflammation and blocks chemicals (prostaglandins, cytokines) that cause allergic reactions.

Prescription require. Follow dosage as directed by healthcare professional.

Tacrolimus (Protopic)

A prescription immunosuppressant for eczema when steroid treatments are not effective.
Inhibits calcineurin protein, reducing T-cell activity to decrease inflammation and itching.
Inform pharmacist if you have skin cancer history, skin infections, genetic disorders, or weak immune system. Consult if no improvement after 6 weeks.

Dermovate

A potent corticosteroid ointment containing clobetasol propionate that manages inflammation, redness, itching, and swelling.
Binds to skin cell receptors to reduce inflammation and allergic reactions.
Don’t use for more than 4 weeks without consulting a pharmacist or GP. Speak to healthcare professional before stopping long-term use.

Hydrocortisone cream

A mild-to-moderate corticosteroid that treats eczema by reducing inflammation and swelling.

Blocks release of prostaglandins and cytokines, reducing swelling, itching, and redness.

Follow prescribed strength based on skin tolerance and condition severity.

Flucloxacillin

An antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections associated with eczema.

Inhibits bacterial cell walls, resulting in bacteria death.

Prescription only. Inform pharmacist of renal impairment, hepatic impairment, or cephalosporin hypersensitivity. Do not share with others or use for other conditions.

Clarithromycin

A prescription antibiotic for bacterial infections.

Stop bacteria from making proteins needed to grow and multiply.

Cannot be taken with certain medications. Inform pharmacist if pregnant or sexually active. Not for viral infections like colds or flu.

Betnovate

A topical corticosteroid containing betamethasone valerate that reduces inflammation.

Calms inflammation, reduces redness and swelling, suppresses overactive immune responses.

Cannot be taken with certain medications. Inform pharmacist if pregnant or sexually active. Not for viral infections like colds or flu.

Mometasone

A potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, allergic reactions, redness, swelling, and itching.

Works on immune system to calm overactive responses in skin.

Wait 20-30 minutes before applying other skincare products. Avoid products with active ingredients.

Loratadine

A non-drowsy antihistamine that alleviates allergic reactions and itching associated with eczema.

Blocks histamine (chemical responsible for itching), reducing urge to scratch and minimizing itch cycles.

Doesn’t treat eczema, use alongside regular emollients, topical steroids during flares, and trigger avoidance. Consult if eczema worsens or doesn’t respond.

Eumovate

A moderate topical corticosteroid containing 0.05% clobetasone butyrate for eczema flare-ups.

Reduces inflammation, redness, and irritation by calming immune response.

Don’t use on broken skin, open wounds, infected eczema (treat infection first), or face/groin/armpits unless prescribed. Consult if no improvement within a week.

Emollients

Moisturizing treatments that soothe, hydrate, and alleviate itchy, dry, flaky skin from eczema.

Act as protective barrier to trap moisture and prevent dryness.

Speak with pharmacist to choose the right emollient for your skin type and condition.
