        Topical steroids are safe when used correctly. Problems usually come from overuse, underuse, or unclear instructions.

          NICE guidance covers eczema and occupational dermatitis management.

          Local regulatory authority:

            Care Quality Commission (CQC)

            • Moderate for medically necessary dermatology
            • Low for purely cosmetic procedures

          Cosmetic finance availability:

            • Limited locally
            • Patients may rely on third-party medical finance providers in nearby cities
