Eczema
Eczema is a common skin condition that makes the skin dry, itchy and easily irritated. Symptoms come and go, with flares triggered by temperature, stress and skin irritants.
Key points
- Applying moisturiser regularly helps protect the skin between flares.
- Eczema is not contagious; it develops from a combination of genetic and environmental factors that weaken the skin.
Medicines listed for Eczema
The listed product, Betnovate, contains betamethasone, a topical corticosteroid applied to the skin to reduce inflammation during an itchy flare. It comes as a 20g cream in a tube.
