Eczema & Allergic Conditions

Eczema, or dermatitis, often presents as dry, itchy, and inflamed skin that can feel relentless. This condition is frequently driven by an overactive immune response to triggers both inside and outside the body.

About Eczema & Allergic Conditions

Eczema, or dermatitis, often presents as dry, itchy, and inflamed skin that can feel relentless. This condition is frequently driven by an overactive immune response to triggers both inside and outside the body. At Sparderm, we specialise in diagnosing the specific type of eczema you have—whether it’s atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, or another variant—and identifying your unique triggers, which can range from allergens and irritants to stress and climate.
Our treatment goes beyond simply prescribing a cream. We focus on breaking the relentless “itch-scratch cycle” that worsens the condition, healing the damaged skin barrier, and preventing future flare-ups.

Our multi-pronged management strategy includes:

Trigger Identification & Patient Education
We help you become a detective for your own skin, guiding you on how to identify and avoid potential irritants in soaps, cosmetics, fabrics, and even your diet.
Skin Barrier Repair
This is the cornerstone of eczema management. We recommend and provide medicated moisturisers and emollients that are specifically formulated to repair and protect the skin’s natural defence barrier.
Medical Management
  • During a flare-up, we use topical corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors to quickly reduce inflammation and itching.
  • For more severe and widespread cases, we may employ systemic medications or newer biologic drugs that specifically target the source of inflammation.
Lifestyle & Skincare Guidance

We provide detailed advice on bathing habits, clothing choices, and hypoallergenic skincare products that are gentle on sensitive skin.

Our ultimate goal is to empower you with a long-term management plan that minimises disruptions to your daily life and keeps your skin comfortable, healthy, and clear.
