Join your host Dr Krystyna de Lange for this episode of The Good GP Podcast, featuring Dr Ian Coulson, a consultant dermatologist from the United Kingdom and editor-in-chief of DermNet. This is part one of a two-part series on eczema, produced in collaboration with DermNet.

Dr Coulson provides an overview of eczema, its different types, and classifications. The differences of eczema and dermatitis, with exceptions such as perioral dermatitis. He classifies eczema into endogenous and exogenous types and explains their varied etiologies and common presentations, including atopic eczema, seborrheic eczema, irritant eczema, allergic contact dermatitis, and more.

Discussing atopic eczema, focusing on its onset, clinical features in different age groups, and the differences between acute and chronic eczema. Dr Coulson shares insights into identifying eczema mimics, such as fungal infections, scabies, and even cutaneous lymphoma, emphasising the importance of careful history-taking and examination.

Dr Coulson then outlines the investigations that may be required for patients with eczema. He covers mycology testing, biopsy considerations, and the limited value of allergy tests like PRIC and RAST in the context of eczema management.
