Eczema in Karachi
Eczema diagnosed by type and treated with barrier repair, trigger control and prescription care, for children and adults.
Is Eczema right for me?
- For atopic eczema, hand eczema, contact dermatitis and seborrhoeic dermatitis at any age.
- A consultation with diagnosis and a written plan; reviews every four to eight weeks until controlled.
- Itch settles within days of the right treatment; control within weeks; maintenance keeps flares rare.
Calm skin, managed.
Eczema is dry, itchy, inflamed skin that flares and settles, and it exhausts the people who have it. The clinic treats it as the chronic condition it is: diagnosis of the type, identification of triggers and irritants, repair of the skin barrier, and prescription treatment to control flares, with a plan the patient can follow between visits.
Atopic eczema in children and adults, hand eczema, contact dermatitis and seborrhoeic dermatitis are all treated. Phototherapy, LED and newer systemic options are available for severe disease.
