Eczema Treatment & Specialist | Eczema Skin Clinic Singapore

Q: What does an eczema clinic in Singapore do?

An eczema clinic specialises in diagnosing, treating and managing eczema through personalised care. Depending on the severity of your condition, your dermatologist may recommend a combination of skincare advice, medications and advanced treatments to help control symptoms and reduce flare-ups.

Q: How is eczema diagnosed?

Eczema is primarily diagnosed through a consultation and skin examination. Your dermatologist will assess your symptoms, medical history and possible triggers to determine the type of eczema you have and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.

Q: How do I prepare for an eczema consultation?

It is helpful to note when your symptoms started, how often flare-ups occur and any products, foods or environmental factors that seem to trigger them. Bringing a list of medications or treatments you have previously tried can also help your dermatologist assess your condition more effectively.

Q: Can eczema affect both children and adults?

Yes. Eczema commonly begins in infancy or childhood, but it can also develop for the first time in adulthood. While some children outgrow eczema, others continue to experience flare-ups later in life and may benefit from ongoing specialist care.

Q: Can Singapore's heat and humidity trigger eczema flare-ups?

Yes. Heat, sweat and high humidity can irritate sensitive skin and worsen itching in some individuals with eczema. Identifying your personal triggers and following an appropriate skincare routine can help minimise flare-ups.

About Our Eczema Clinic

>60 Years’ Combined Experience.
Wide Range of Treatments.
Long-Term Eczema Management.

Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that weakens the skin barrier, leading to dry, itchy and easily irritated skin. While symptoms can often be controlled, eczema typically requires long-term management to reduce flare-ups and maintain healthy skin.

Since 1990, Specialist Skin Clinic and its team of experienced dermatologists have helped patients manage eczema through personalised treatment plans tailored to their skin condition, symptoms and lifestyle, supporting long-term control and improved skin health.

Eczema: Characterised by Dry, Itchy & Inflamed Skin

Did you know that eczema affects up to 1 in 5 children and 1 in 10 adults in Singapore?

Not only is eczema more common than we may realise, it has also been found that around half of eczema patients in Singapore have the skin condition throughout their lives.

Fortunately, with increased awareness and advancements in treatment over the years, eczema is now a largely treatable condition.

Identifying Possible
Triggers

Identifying and avoiding eczema triggers can help reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups. Our dermatologists may review factors such as irritants, allergens, environmental conditions and lifestyle habits to determine what may be aggravating your skin.

Medications for Eczema

Treatment may include moisturisers to restore the skin barrier, topical anti-inflammatory medications to control flare-ups and antibiotics if a skin infection develops.

Advanced Treatments

For moderate to severe or treatment-resistant eczema, advanced options such as phototherapy, topical immunomodulators, biologics, JAK inhibitors and topical PDE4 inhibitor creams may be recommended to better control inflammation and reduce flare-ups.

Eczema:
Separating Fact from Fiction

Despite it being a relatively common skin condition, eczema remains misunderstood by the general public and sometimes even among eczema sufferers themselves. Here are some to watch out for:

Eczema is contagious and can spread through physical contact

It’s just dry and itchy skin, it’s not a big deal

Eczema is just an allergic reaction – changing my habits will fix it

There is no effective treatment for eczema

If you are experiencing persistent dry, itchy or inflamed skin, consult an eczema dermatologist for a comprehensive assessment and personalised treatment plan.
