Understanding Eczema and Psoriasis
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) and psoriasis are both chronic inflammatory conditions, but they have different underlying causes and require tailored treatment approaches. Eczema is characterised by a defective skin barrier that allows moisture to escape and irritants to penetrate, triggering inflammation. It often runs in families with a history of allergies, asthma, or hay fever. Psoriasis, on the other hand, is an autoimmune condition where the immune system causes skin cells to multiply too rapidly, creating thick, scaly plaques.
At Kinvara Hospital, we begin with a thorough assessment to accurately diagnose your condition and identify your personal triggers. This may include environmental factors, stress, dietary influences, or concurrent infections. Understanding these triggers is fundamental to creating an effective management plan.
Our approach combines barrier repair with appropriate anti-inflammatory treatments, lifestyle modifications, and - for more severe or resistant cases - advanced therapies including phototherapy and biologic medications. We believe that with the right support and treatment strategy, most patients can achieve excellent control of their condition.

Living with Chronic Skin Conditions
Recovery Timeline
Initial Phase
Following your consultation, you will begin your prescribed treatment regimen. During acute flares, you may use stronger topical steroids for short periods to bring inflammation under control quickly.
Stabilisation
As your condition improves, we transition to maintenance therapy using emollients and steroid-sparing agents. This phase focuses on preventing flares rather than treating them.
Maintenance
Long-term management involves consistent use of emollients, trigger avoidance, and early intervention at the first sign of a flare. Regular check-ups help ensure your treatment remains optimised.
Advanced Treatment
For those with moderate to severe disease not controlled by topical treatments, we offer phototherapy or referral for biologic medications that target specific inflammatory pathways.
Key Recovery Points
- Apply emollients liberally and frequently, even when skin appears clear
- Use lukewarm water for bathing and pat skin dry gently
- Identify and avoid personal triggers including certain fabrics, soaps, and stressors
- Keep fingernails short to minimise damage from scratching
