Eczema & Dermatitis treatment online
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) and other forms of dermatitis cause dry, itchy, inflamed skin that can crack, weep and disturb sleep. Flares come and go, often triggered by irritants, allergens, weather or stress. It's common in childhood but affects many adults, and severe eczema can be exhausting to live with.
How a telehealth consultation helps
Your Dermatologist assesses the pattern and severity from your photos and history, distinguishes eczema from look-alike conditions, and builds a plan covering daily skin care, flare management and trigger identification, with follow-up consultations to adjust treatment as your skin responds.
When to see a Dermatologist
If itch is affecting sleep or daily life, flares are frequent, or GP-prescribed treatment isn't holding the condition, a specialist review is the sensible next step.
Before your consultation: four photos
Every consultation needs four clear photos of your skin condition, emailed to us at least one hour before your appointment. Your consultation can't go ahead without them.
- Photo 1: about 1 metre away
- Photo 2: about 20cm away
- Photo 3: about 5cm away
- Photo 4: as close as your camera allows
Email them to coordinator@teledermatologist.com.au with your full name in the subject line.
A nurse, carer or family member can help you take them, or call us and we'll arrange assistance.
