Personalised assessment and care for eczema and ongoing skin health.
Eczema Treatment in Perth
Eczema is a common skin condition that can cause dry, itchy, inflamed, and irritated skin. Symptoms can come and go, with flare-ups triggered by factors including weather changes, heat, stress, and skin irritants. Eczema can affect people of all ages, and ongoing symptoms may impact sleep, work, school, and everyday life.
Collaborative Healthcare provides eczema treatment in Perth through our GP-led skin clinic in Joondanna. Your GP will assess your skin, discuss your symptoms and any previous treatments you’ve tried, and aim to identify factors that may be contributing to flare-ups before recommending an appropriate treatment and management plan.

Personalised Eczema Care
Assessment and Diagnosis
Your GP will examine your skin and discuss your symptoms, medical history, and possible triggers.
Treatment for Flare-Ups
Where appropriate, treatment may include prescribed topical medicines to potentially reduce inflammation and itching.
Long-Term Management
Learn how to protect your skin, manage triggers, and reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups.
Eczema does not have a single treatment that works for everyone. Management depends on the type and severity, where it affects the body, and your individual circumstances. Regular moisturising and avoiding known triggers may help protect the skin, while prescribed treatments may be recommended during flare-ups.
If your eczema is persistent, severe, or not responding to treatment, your GP can discuss whether further investigation (such as allergy testing) or referral to a dermatologist may be appropriate.

What Eczema Treatment Looks Like
1. Book Your Appointment
Discuss your eczema symptoms and concerns with a GP at our Joondanna skin clinic.
2. Assessment and Diagnosis
Your GP will examine the affected skin and ask about your symptoms, medical and family history, and potential triggers. Eczema may be diagnosed through a clinical assessment, although further investigation may sometimes be appropriate.
3. Personalised Care Plan
Your GP will recommend appropriate treatment and practical ways to manage your eczema. This may include moisturising, trigger management, and prescription treatments for flare-ups, depending on your individual needs.
4. Ongoing Care
Eczema often requires ongoing management rather than a one-off treatment. Your GP can review your progress and adjust your management plan if your symptoms change or persist.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is eczema?
Eczema is a common skin condition that causes dry, itchy, and easily irritated skin. Atopic eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is the most common type. Symptoms can come and go and may be affected by factors such as weather, heat, stress, and skin irritants.
What are the symptoms of eczema?
Eczema commonly causes itchy, irritated, inflamed, or dry skin. It can affect different areas of the body, including the face, hands, arms, legs, and skin folds. Symptoms can vary between people and may change over time.
How is eczema diagnosed?
Doctors usually diagnose eczema by assessing your skin, symptoms, and medical history. Your GP may ask about what makes your symptoms better or worse and examine the affected areas. Further testing or referral to a dermatologist may be recommended in some circumstances.
What is the difference between eczema and psoriasis?
While both eczema and psoriasis are chronic skin conditions that cause red, inflamed, and itchy patches, they have different root causes and appearances. Eczema is an allergic- or irritant-driven skin reaction with an intense itch, while psoriasis is an immune system disease that causes thick patches with silvery scales.
What treatments are available for eczema?
Treatment depends on the severity and type of eczema. Management may include regular moisturising, avoiding known triggers, and prescription creams or ointments to manage inflammation during flare-ups. More severe eczema may require additional treatment or specialist dermatology care.
Do you work with children?
Yes. Eczema commonly affects children as well as adults. If your child has dry, itchy, or irritated skin, our team may assess their symptoms and recommend an appropriate management plan.
When should I see a doctor about eczema?
Consider seeing your GP if you or your child has persistent itchy, dry, or irritated skin, particularly if symptoms are affecting sleep or everyday activities, becoming more severe, or not improving with your usual skin care routine. Your GP can assess the symptoms and determine whether further treatment or a specialist referral is appropriate.
