Allergy Medical conducts regular workshops on eczema management.

The Eczema Workshop brings together knowledge and skills, products and procedures.

Comprehensive scope—one clear and concise class

Allergy Medical’s Eczema Workshop will give you the health insights and practical skills for better managing and treating eczema.

You can practise wet wrapping and cool compressing. You can inspect various protective garments and bedding. And you can sample a variety of skin care products.

Class sizes are small, so there’s plenty of time and space for discussion and interaction.

Why is an allergy clinic interested in eczema? What do we know?

Eczema management is a complex and delicate process. And allergy is an important consideration.

Allergy can severely aggravate the symptoms and severity of eczema. And eczema can be a warning sign for susceptibility to other allergies.

You can find more information on eczema and allergy here on our website.

Perfect for patients, parents and carers

The Eczema Workshop is intended to complement rather than replace a doctor’s consultation.

You don’t need to be an Allergy Medical patient to attend.
