Atopic Eczema is a common form of eczema that can run in families. It affects 20% of children in the UK, often from an early age. However, the majority of children will grow out of it. The symptoms of eczema range in severity from small patches of dry, itchy, red skin to multiple broken, weeping sores that can easily become infected. Eczema can flare up, getting rapidly worse for a time, usually in response to a specific trigger such as food or environmental allergy.

Eczema is a skin condition that causes inflamed, uncomfortable, dry, itchy skin and damage to the skin barrier. This can occur at all ages but is more common in babies and children. There are many reasons why eczema starts, including allergy, genetic and environmental factors. It is linked to allergy, hay fever and asthma.
Childhood eczema can cause many problems for children and their families. It can feel stressful when you have tried many treatments, and nothing seems to help your child.
Our specialist team will aim to assess your child as an individual and provide a personalised approach to looking at possible eczema triggers such as food allergies. A safe, tailored treatment plan will be developed after careful discussion with you as a family.
Please note; You may be requested to keep a food diary in order to assess whether a particular food aggravates your child’s symptoms.
