Eczema Testing & Treatment

DTAP Clinic (Caring & Treating Since 2005)

Eczema (atopic dermatitis) occurs often in people who have allergies and other associated conditions like asthma and hay fever.

It is a long-lasting (chronic) medical problem characterised by periodic flare-ups and relative remission in between. Severe cases can often lead to poor quality of life due to ongoing symptoms.
