Eczema Treatment

Eczema, often called dermatitis, refers to a group of inflammatory skin problems that can lead to:

• Dry, itchy, sensitive skin
• Red, brown, or purple patches (depending on skin tone)
• Rough, scaly, or thickened areas
• Recurrent rashes and sometimes oozing or crusting

Eczema is not contagious, but it is typically a long-term condition that tends to flare up when exposed to triggers such as irritants, allergens, heat, sweating, or stress.

Common types include:

• Atopic dermatitis (most common in children but also affects adults)
• Contact dermatitis (reaction to irritants or allergens)
• Dyshidrotic eczema (appearance of small blisters on hands and feet)
• Nummular eczema (coin-shaped patches)
• Seborrheic dermatitis (scalp and oily areas)

At CosmeSurge, we carefully distinguish eczema from other conditions, such as psoriasis or fungal infections, before starting treatment.

You may benefit from eczema treatment Dubai or Abu Dhabi if you have:

• Recurrent itchy rashes that disturb sleep or daily activities
• Dry, cracked, or thickened skin that does not respond to basic moisturizers
• Eczema on visible areas such as the face, neck, hands, or eyelids
• Skin infections related to scratching and open sores
• Eczema is associated with asthma, hay fever, or allergies
• A child with frequent flares despite home care

We treat infants, children, teens, and adults, tailoring our treatment to each individual’s age, medical history, and skin sensitivity.

Seeing an experienced dermatologist for eczema treatment in Dubai and Abu Dhabi can help you:

• Get an accurate diagnosis and eczema subtype
• Identify and manage your personal triggers
• Reduce itching, redness, and skin damage
• Lower the risk of infection and scars
• Sleep better and feel more confident socially and at work
• Learn a clear, practical skincare routine for long-term control

CosmeSurge focuses on combining medical therapy with lifestyle and skincare education, enabling you to manage your eczema more independently over time.

Your eczema treatment plan is always individualized, but it usually includes several of the options below.

1. Detailed Assessment

• Comprehensive skin examination
• Review of your symptoms, triggers, and previous treatments
• Assessment of associated conditions, such as allergies or asthma
• Patch testing or blood tests when needed

2. Skin Barrier Repair & Daily Care

Every plan begins with strengthening your skin barrier through:

• Gentle cleansers suitable for sensitive and eczema-prone skin
• Rich emollients and moisturizers (ointments, creams, or lotions) applied regularly, especially after bathing
• Advice on choosing eczema-friendly products, clothing, and laundry detergents

3. Medical Treatments

Depending on severity, location, and age, your dermatologist may prescribe:

• Topical corticosteroids to control inflammation during flares
• Topical calcineurin or JAK inhibitors for sensitive areas such as the face or folds
• Antihistamines help in reducing the itch and improving sleep in some patients
• Oral medications for more severe or widespread eczema
• Biologic therapies (advanced injections) for moderate to severe, treatment-resistant eczema

4. Phototherapy (Light Therapy)

In some instances, supervised light therapy can help reduce inflammation and itch over a series of sessions while minimizing medication use.

5. Trigger Management & Lifestyle Guidance

An experienced dermatologist can guide you on:

• Avoiding any harsh soaps, fragrances, and irritant fabrics
• Managing sweat, heat, and seasonal changes
• Stress-reduction strategies, as stress can worsen eczema
• Identifying any food-related triggers when relevant

We may also recommend related dermatology solutions such as psoriasis treatment, acne management, or skin rejuvenation procedures if you have overlapping concerns.

Eczema has a chronic nature, so treatment focuses on control rather than cure. With a proper plan:

• Flares usually settle over days to weeks
• Skin texture and color gradually improve over time
• Regular moisturizer use and trigger avoidance help in normalizing the skin texture
• Follow-up visits allow your doctor to adjust treatment as your skin changes

Our goal is to help you stay in control of your eczema with clear instructions, simple routines, and easy access to care when flares occur.

Any medical treatment can have side effects. At CosmeSurge, our dermatologists explain these to you clearly and use the lowest effective dose for the shortest necessary time. Possible risks include:

• Skin thinning or discoloration from overuse of potent topical steroids
• Dryness or irritation from certain medications
• Increased sensitivity to sunlight with some treatments
• Rare systemic side effects with oral or biologic therapies

Your dermatologist will monitor your progress, especially in children and patients with long-term or high-strength treatments.

The cost of eczema treatment in Dubai and Abu Dhabi depends on:

• Severity and extent of your eczema
• Type of consultation (initial vs. follow-up)
• Need for tests such as allergy or patch testing
• Type and duration of prescribed medications
• Whether phototherapy or advanced biologic treatments are required

You will receive a clear, itemized treatment plan and estimate after your consultation. Our teams in Dubai and Abu Dhabi will also guide you regarding insurance coverage where applicable.
