Eczema

Eczema management is part treatment, part detective work — identifying what's triggering your flares is often as important as the prescription itself.

  • Treated at Skin Therapeutics by Dr. Namita Narkhede-Chopade
  • Diagnosis first, then a plan
  • Most consultations within the same week

Eczema care starts with mapping your triggers — fabrics, soaps, weather, stress — alongside prescribing treatment to calm active inflammation and rebuild the skin barrier.

How eczema is treated at Skin Therapeutics

Dr. Chopade builds a routine you can actually sustain: the right moisturiser, the right prescription strength for flare-ups, and clear guidance on what to avoid, so flares become less frequent over time rather than something you manage reactively.

Active flares are settled first with appropriately dosed prescription treatment — under-treating out of steroid fear is one of the most common reasons eczema never quite goes away. Once calm, the focus shifts to barrier repair and prevention: fewer, gentler products used consistently, rather than a shelf of half-used creams.

Eczema in children

A large share of eczema patients are children, and paediatric plans differ deliberately: milder preparations, simple routines parents can keep up on school days, and clear instructions on when a flare needs a review versus home care. Many children improve substantially with age; the goal in the meantime is comfortable skin and unbroken sleep.

Questions about eczema

Will my child outgrow eczema?

Many children see significant improvement or resolution by their teenage years, though some carry a sensitive skin tendency into adulthood. We tailor paediatric plans accordingly.

What's the difference between eczema and dry skin?

Ordinary dry skin responds to moisturiser alone. Eczema involves an inflammatory component and often needs prescription treatment to fully settle, alongside a barrier-repair routine.

Are steroid creams safe for long-term use?

Used correctly and under supervision, they're a safe and effective part of eczema management — Dr. Chopade will guide the right strength, duration, and areas of use for your specific case.
