Inflammatory Skin Conditions

About this treatment

An inflammatory skin conditions consultation at Prema Health Clinic in Portsmouth is designed to support patients experiencing persistent, recurrent, or flare-prone skin inflammation. Conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis can vary significantly in severity and may be influenced by lifestyle, environment, stress, or underlying health factors. The consultation begins with a detailed discussion of symptom history, flare patterns, previous treatments, and daily skin care, allowing the clinician to build a clear and individualised understanding of the condition.

Patients are given clear explanations about their skin and the nature of inflammatory conditions, helping them better understand triggers and patterns. The consultation is collaborative, encouraging questions and open discussion, and aims to support both symptom control and long-term skin health. Care is tailored to the individual rather than a generic approach.

Following assessment, a personalised management plan is discussed. This may include advice on flare prevention, treatment options, and strategies to support ongoing skin stability and comfort.

In More Detail

During the appointment, areas of redness, scaling, dryness, thickening, or irritation are carefully examined. The clinician assesses the distribution and appearance of inflamed skin, noting patterns that may be consistent with eczema, dermatitis, or psoriasis. Symptoms such as itching, soreness, cracking, or discomfort are also explored, along with how the condition affects daily life. Understanding the frequency and severity of flare-ups helps guide appropriate advice and long-term management.
