Frequently asked questions
To help the specialist assess your child fully, it’s helpful to bring:
a list of your child’s current medications, including creams and antihistamines
any previous dermatology results
photos of the skin condition, if it fluctuates or only appears at certain times
details of possible triggers (foods, products, animals, environmental exposures)
a record of past reactions, flare patterns, or known allergies
a favourite toy, book, or snack to help your child feel comfortable
If your child uses specific creams or skincare products, bringing them can also be useful.
Our specialists are experienced in working with children and will ensure the appointment is child‑friendly.
A typical consultation includes:
a conversation about symptoms, triggers, and any family history
a gentle examination of the affected skin areas
discussion about your child’s skincare routine and any previous treatments
reviewing any photos or prior test results
planning further tests if needed (e.g. skin prick tests, patch tests, blood tests)
creating an individualised treatment plan
Your child can sit on your lap during the examination if it helps them feel at ease.
