Abstract
Most people with eczema have mild or moderate disease, and most are treated in primary care.1 This article aims to support health professionals in helping patients get control of eczema in time-limited consultations. Recent updated National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance on atopic eczema highlighted changes to advice regarding bath emollients and advice on how to wash.2 While a fuller update is awaited, the evidence behind this is presented here, along with a summary of other recent research on eczema.
