Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a skin condition characterized by dry, itchy and inflamed patches of skin. It can be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, and triggers can include irritants like soaps and detergents, certain foods, stress, and weather changes. Eczema is most commonly found in infants and young children but can develop in people of all ages.

Eczema can be managed through a combination of treatments, including moisturizing the skin regularly, avoiding triggers, using topical creams or ointments, and taking prescribed medications like antihistamines or corticosteroids. It is important to work closely with a Doctor to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses the individual’s specific symptoms and needs. While eczema can be uncomfortable and frustrating, with proper management and care, many people are able to lead symptom-free lives. Book you consult today for a personalised care plan.

Mole mapping is the process of documenting the location and appearance of all the moles on a person’s body. This is important because moles can change over time and some may develop into melanoma, a dangerous form of skin cancer. Mole mapping can be done by a doctor or with the use of technology such as a Molescope, which takes high-resolution photographs of the moles. These photographs can be used to track any changes in the size, shape, or color of the moles over time. Mole mapping is recommended for people with a history of skin cancer, a large number of moles, or a family history of skin cancer. It is important to regularly check your skin for any changes or new moles and to discuss any concerns with your doctor.
