a list of your child’s current medications, including creams and antihistamines
any previous allergy test results
photos of any skin symptoms over time, if they fluctuate or only appear 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
discussion about your child’s routine and any previous treatments
reviewing any photos or prior test results

creating an individualised treatment plan
