At Brisbane West Dermatology, our specialists provide comprehensive, personalised treatment plans to help manage eczema effectively.

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a common inflammatory skin condition that causes redness, itching, dryness, and irritation. In some cases, the skin may weep and form crusts. It affects approximately three million Australians, with childhood being the most common period of onset, though it can develop at any age. The condition results from an overactive immune response in the skin, often influenced by genetic factors, allergies, or environmental triggers such as irritants, allergens, or stress.

Treatment focuses on strengthening the skin’s natural barrier with regular use of gentle, hydrating moisturisers and avoiding common irritants like harsh soaps. Depending on severity, management may also include prescription creams or ointments, phototherapy, oral medications, or advanced injectable therapies such as immunotherapies. By identifying triggers and offering tailored solutions, we aim to improve skin health and enhance your quality of life. If you or your child are struggling with eczema, our experienced dermatologists are here to help.
