Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The old saying, 'a stitch in time saves nine' is particularly true in the management of eczema. Early diagnosis and the recognition of an underlying cause can mean that more simple measures, such as moisturizers, may be sufficient to keep eczema under control, while the identification of an allergic stimulus can forestall further problems. Equally, being aware of what action to take when a course of treatment is ineffective, and having the ability to teach parents and families to realize when they need extra help, may allow changes to be made that will restore control of the condition more quickly. An understanding and empathetic ear may make all the difference when a patient is having to come to terms with eczema. This article discusses the aetiology and symptoms of different types of eczema, and summarises the range of available options for the management of this often disruptive condition. |
