Looking For Eczema Treatment in Singapore?

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 –
In this article:
What Are the Symptoms of Eczema?
What Causes Eczema?
How Is Eczema Diagnosed?
How Is Eczema Treated?
How Can Eczema Flare-ups Be Prevented?

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 –

“While there’s no cure for eczema, you can reduce flaky, dry skin by using products infused with hyaluronic acid…”

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? 
 
If your eczema do not respond to self-care or over-the-counter treatments, call for an appointment with your nearest qualified medical doctor or a Dermatologist in Singapore.
