Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis) and Psoriasis are chronic, inflammatory skin conditions that can cause persistent discomfort, irritation, and stress. At KONCEPT® Medical Clinic Kingston, we understand the profound impact these conditions have on your daily life and overall well-being.
Our Dermatology services offer medically supervised, personalised treatment plans focused on controlling inflammation, managing flare-ups, and achieving long-term symptom relief.
Managing Eczema and Psoriasis requires a holistic and expert-led strategy. Our goal is to move beyond temporary fixes to help you control the condition and improve your skin’s health and barrier function.
A consultation with our medical practitioner or specialist is the first step. We accurately diagnose the type and severity of your condition (e.g., plaque psoriasis, discoid eczema) and identify potential triggers.
Your plan will be tailored, addressing the specific characteristics of your condition, including inflammation levels, affected areas, and lifestyle factors.
We provide detailed education on triggers, appropriate skincare routines, and stress management techniques, empowering you to better manage the condition between clinic visits.
We offer a spectrum of effective, evidence-based treatments, from topical applications to advanced therapy:
Prescription-strength creams, ointments, and calcineurin inhibitors to rapidly reduce inflammation, stop the itch-scratch cycle, and manage localised flare-ups.
For moderate to severe cases, treatment may involve oral medications or advanced therapies to target the underlying immune response that drives the inflammation.
Controlled exposure to specific wavelengths of UV light, often supervised in a clinical setting, can be highly effective in reducing symptoms and achieving remission for both conditions.
Professional guidance on using emollients and moisturisers to repair the damaged skin barrier, which is crucial for reducing water loss and protecting against environmental irritants.
For severe, resistant Psoriasis, we can discuss the option of advanced biologic injectable therapies that target specific components of the immune system.
Breaking the itch-scratch cycle to prevent secondary infections and further barrier damage.
Prescribing non-irritating, medical-grade products to lock in hydration and repair the skin barrier.
Identifying and advising on common environmental, dietary, and allergic triggers.
Psoriasis is characterised by the rapid overproduction of skin cells, leading to thick, scaly, and red plaques. Our management focuses on:
Using medications to slow down the excessive growth of skin cells.
Applying specific topical agents or initiating systemic therapy to resolve existing lesions.
Aiming for sustained periods without active flare-ups, significantly improving joint and skin health.
