What is Eczema?
Eczema is a condition that mainly consists of dry skin, it is not contagious, and you cannot catch it from someone else. It is a condition which varies from person to person, comes in many different forms and is also known as dermatitis.
Eczema is the name for a group of conditions that cause the skin to become itchy, inflamed or have a rash-like appearance that may appear red in lighter skin tones or grey, purple or ashen in darker skin tones. There are several types of eczema including – atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, dyshidrotic eczema, nummular eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, and stasis dermatitis. Eczema is quite common. And in many cases, it is also manageable.
Narrowband Therapy for Eczema
UVB light therapy for eczema offers unrivalled results, particularly in those who suffer with stubborn symptoms of eczema that may have been resilient to other forms of treatment. Whilst it has a strong success rate in reducing symptoms of eczema, sometimes even returning the skin to a normal appearance, it is important to remember that this type of treatment does not work for everyone.
***Please note*** – we strongly advise that you keep your GP or Dermatologist aware of any therapy regime and always seek their advice on any treatment of your condition.
