Wet wrapping
Wet wrapping is a specialised technique use particularly to improve eczema in children with specialised bandaging. Our specialist nurses can perform this treatment for your child and teach you how to undertake this at home. It is highly effective at reducing itching and scratching, helping your child sleep better.

Many eczema patients simply need a little help to suppress the eczema and allow all the inflammation to settle. Our nurses can apply treatments to your skin and teach you how to get the best out of the products and medications that you have been prescribed.
