Eczema care
Proactive, specialist management of childhood eczema — one of the most important steps in lowering the risk of food allergy.
Say Goodbye to Itchy, Irritated Skin
Eczema isn’t just dry skin – it’s a persistent, frustrating condition that can impact your child’s sleep, mood & daily life. If your child is struggling with red, itchy patches (or constant flare-ups that won’t go away), we can help.
At London Allergy Consultants, we specialise in diagnosing & treating eczema, allergies & other skin conditions – helping children (from infants to teenagers) get lasting relief. Our expert team provides eczema treatment in London that goes beyond surface-level care – tackling the root causes to deliver real, long-term results.
Common Symptoms of Eczema
Does your child have:
Dry, flaky skin that doesn’t improve with moisturisers? Red, inflamed patches that flare up & itch (sometimes intensely)? Scratching at night leading to sore, broken skin? Rashes that appear after eating certain foods or exposure to allergens? Recurring skin infections due to excessive scratching & open wounds?
If so, early intervention is key. Eczema treatment in London is most effective when started early, helping to prevent long-term skin damage & discomfort.

2. Allergy & Skin Testing
If necessary, we perform skin allergy tests in London to identify food & environmental allergens that could be aggravating eczema.
Based on test results & clinical assessment, we create a tailored eczema treatment plan – which may include topical treatments, dietary adjustments & allergy management strategies.
4. Ongoing Support & Follow-Ups
Eczema requires long-term management. Our team provides ongoing care, tracking progress & making adjustments to the treatment plan as needed.
How is Eczema Diagnosed?
We provide a detailed skin assessment to determine whether your child’s eczema is linked to allergens, irritants, or an underlying immune response. As part of this, we may recommend a skin allergy test in London to check for sensitivities to food, dust mites, pollen & other triggers. Our approach combines clinical expertise with research-backed solutions to ensure we get to the root cause of eczema flare-ups.
Specialist Dermatology Support for Skin Allergy Conditions
Eczema and urticaria are frequently part of a broader allergic profile. When additional input is needed, Dr Du Toit collaborates with London’s top Consultant Dermatologists to ensure comprehensive care—particularly in complex cases like psoriasis, acne, or contact dermatitis.
Some skin conditions, like Hyperkeratosis Pilaris (KP)—commonly referred to as ‘chicken skin’—can be mistaken for allergy-related issues. KP is a harmless genetic condition that causes small, rough bumps, usually on the backs of the arms, thighs, or buttocks. Variants include:
- Keratosis Pilaris Rubra: red, inflamed bumps on arms or face
- Keratosis Pilaris Alba: rough texture without redness
- Keratosis Pilaris Rubra Faceii: facial redness, often mistaken for acne
KP occurs when excess keratin builds up and blocks hair follicles. It tends to worsen in colder weather and may benefit from moisturising and keratolytic treatments like urea-based creams.
Our team can help assess if symptoms are allergy-driven or dermatological, and recommend appropriate treatments or referrals accordingly.
Our team of highly experienced consultant allergists, dermatologists & paediatric specialists are dedicated to providing the best care for children with eczema & allergies. With expertise in both medical treatments & lifestyle management, we take a holistic approach to treating eczema in children.
