Explore now: eczema appointment preparation tool
Whether your appointment is a day or several months away, this tool will help you prepare for that often short, but very important time with your doctor.
Preparation is key: it's never too soon to start planning. In fact, sometimes it can be easier to make a note of something you experience so you don’t forget when speaking with your doctor.
Why it pays to persist with ongoing appointments
It can feel disheartening if an appointment doesn’t go the way you hoped. But, setting expectations and learning how to persist can pay off at your next appointment.
Ultimately, being open with your doctor and sharing as much information as possible with them could improve the management of your atopic dermatitis.
“Some people are reluctant to go to their GP or dermatologist because they just don’t think there’s anything else out there. But it’s just not true – there are so many different options for treating eczema.”
