Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes dry, itchy, red, and irritated skin. It often flares up on the hands, face, elbows, knees, or behind the ears. While eczema isn’t contagious, it often requires medical treatment to break the itch-scratch cycle and repair the skin barrier.
Eczema affects both children and adults in Ireland, and while it can’t be cured, effective prescription treatments can help control symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
Trusted eczema care from Irish doctors who understand your needs.
Each type may need a slightly different approach to treatment, which is why a doctor-led assessment is important.

Most patients see improvement within 1–2 weeks of consistent use.
Long-term management focuses on reducing flare-ups and keeping the skin barrier healthy with regular moisturising.
If your skin becomes red, swollen, crusted, or oozing, it may be infected. Your doctor may prescribe antibiotic cream or oral antibiotics. Avoid scratching or using leftover creams; seek a review promptly.
If symptoms persist or worsen after two weeks of treatment, you should request a review. Your doctor may adjust the treatment strength or prescribe a different formulation.
