Skin problems
Skin problems range from dry, itchy skin to atopic eczema, psoriasis and acne. Many come in flare-ups that can be triggered by stress, irritants or the climate. The methods on this page mainly relate to atopic eczema.

Therascout does not diagnose. Have new, severe or persistent complaints checked by a doctor.
Have skin changes checked by a dermatologist. Many skin conditions can be treated well today.
When to see a doctor straight away
See a doctor promptly if:
- Rapidly spreading, hot, painful redness with fever
- Eczema with suddenly appearing blisters and fever
- Blisters on the skin and mucous membranes with fever, e.g. after a new medicine
- A mole changes size, shape or colour, or bleeds
In an emergency: 144
What you can do yourself
Moisturise daily
Emollients strengthen the skin barrier, even when symptoms are absent.
Wash gently
Lukewarm rather than hot showers, mild products without fragrance.
Avoid triggers
Avoid scratchy fabrics, irritants and heavy sweating. Use sun protection.
