We’re excited to bring you our latest webinar series, ‘Exploring Eczema’ with National Eczema Society’s Dermatology Nurse Advisor, Julie Van Onselen. In this session we will be exploring contact allergy with a focus on hand eczema.
Did you know that having eczema means you have a higher risk of developing contact dermatitis? The hands are commonly affected by contact dermatitis as they encounter many substances. Contact dermatitis can be irritant or allergic.
This webinar will discuss the difference between these two types, the range of contact allergies, and explain how it is diagnosed by patch testing, via referral to a consultant dermatologist.
This talk will provide practical, evidence-based advice to help attendees effectively control their symptoms and minimise flare-ups.
There is allocated time after the presentation for a Q&A session with Julie.
