Find a Doctor | Plastic Surgeons and Dermatologists

Aesthetic medicine is an inclusive term for specialties that focus on improving cosmetic appearance through the treatment of conditions including (but not limited to) scars, skin laxity, wrinkles, moles, liver spots, excess fat, cellulite, unwanted hair, skin discoloration, and spider veins. Traditionally, aesthetic medicine includes dermatology, reconstructive surgery and plastic surgery, however it is not strictly limited to these fields. Aesthetic medicine includes both surgical procedures (liposuction, facelifts, breast implants) and non-surgical procedures (radio frequency skin tightening, non surgical liposuction, chemical peel), and practitioners may utilize a combination of both.

Looking for the Best Eczema Treatment in Malaysia?

If you are looking for eczema treatment in Malaysia, you are in the right place.

Step 1: Read more about eczema or atopic dermatitis from credible websites.

Do continue reading to understand more on this skin condition known as eczema. The following is an excerpt from WebMD:

How Is Eczema Treated?

The goal of treatment for eczema is to relieve and prevent itching, which can lead to infection. Since the disease makes skin dry and itchy, lotions and creams are recommended to keep the skin moist. These products are usually applied when the skin is damp, such as after bathing, to help the skin retain moisture. Cold compresses may also be used to relieve itching.

Over-the-counter products, such as hydrocortisone 1% cream, or prescription creams and ointments containing corticosteroids, are often prescribed to lessen inflammation. In addition, if the affected area becomes infected, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to kill the infection-causing bacteria.

Other treatments include antihistamines to lessen severe itching, tar treatments (chemicals designed to reduce itching), phototherapy (therapy using ultraviolet light applied to the skin), and the drug cyclosporine for people whose condition doesn't respond to other treatments.

The FDA has approved two drugs known as topical immunomodulators (TIMs) for the treatment of mild-to-moderate eczema. The drugs, Elidel and Protopic, are skin creams that work by altering the immune system response to prevent flare-ups.

The FDA has warned doctors to prescribe Elidel and Protopic with caution due to concerns over a possible cancer risk associated with their use. The two creams also carry the FDA's "black box" warning on their packaging to alert doctors and patients to these potential risks. The warning advises doctors to prescribe short-term use of Elidel and Protopic only after other available eczema treatments have failed in adults and children over the age of 2. It should not be used in kids under age 2.

How Can Eczema Flare-ups Be Prevented?

Eczema outbreaks can sometimes be avoided or the severity lessened by following these simple tips.

Moisturize frequently.
Avoid sudden changes in temperature or humidity.
Avoid sweating or overheating.
Reduce stress.
Avoid scratchy materials, such as wool.
Avoid harsh soaps, detergents, and solvents.
Be aware of any foods that may cause an outbreak and avoid those foods.

Hi all. A close friend of mine is suffering from eczema. She does not like to use the steroid-based creams due to the side-effects that come with prolonged usages. Currently she is keeping watch on what she eats and using some other cream like aloe vera cream. Is there any good methods to treat or at least suppress eczema?

Eczema Article by The Star Online: A survey reveals low awareness of eczema in Malaysia.

ECZEMA is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease marked by intense itching, red rashes, and accompanying skin lesions. It is a common skin condition which afflicts 10-20% of children and 1-3% of adults worldwide, and two in every 10 individuals in Malaysia.

Although eczema is a common skin disease, there is still a general lack of awareness about it. In 2011, LEO Pharma conducted a research study among eczema patients and eczema caregivers in Malaysia via The Research Partnership, a global pharmaceutical research company…

Step 2: Pay a visit to your nearest pharmacist

Consultation with a pharmacist is free in most pharmacies, therefore do pay them a visit for your eczema treatment. The pharmacist would recommend you some over-the-counter (OTC) medication normally in the form of cream or ointment. If your eczema is the dry type, I would suggest you go for the ointment.

Step 3: My eczema do not respond to self-care or over-the-counter (OTC) treatments?

Please consult your medical doctor for further advice or request to be referred to a dermatologist. Check out the Dermatologist directory in Malaysia.

If you are looking for eczema treatment in Singapore, you are in the right place.

Step 1: Read more about eczema or atopic dermatitis from credible websites.

The most common type of eczema is known as atopic dermatitis, or atopic eczema.

Here are some recommended links from WebMD –

WebMD’s Alexa ranking (under Health category): No.2

If you would like to check whether the site that is promoting the ‘eczema cure all treatments’ for you or your baby’s eczema, try verifying their ‘Alexa ranking’ and compare it with WebMD.

Is there a cure for eczema or Atopic Dermatitis? As a trained medical doctor, I would like to be direct and upfront with the question above. There is no cure for eczema currently, however you could manage your’s and your baby’s eczema to a point where it becomes non-visible.

If you still believe in some of the tooth-fairy folklore self-help ‘how I cure my eczema ebooks’, you will not find us recommending any of those stuff in this post. Most of these ‘alternative’ sites will start by agreeing that there is no medical cure for eczema and how superficial your medical doctor and your dermatologists are. Then they will bring out their ‘cure all from inside out treatment’ bla bla bla…

Seriously, there is just too much of these non-credible and non-proven stuff on the internet. I am just not sure how else I could warn you but ulitmately it’s your decision and so, decide wisely.

Just to substantiate the ‘no-cure’ claim –
