Below is a list of questions and corresponding answers received by Dr Chris Steele for the clinic 'Looking after your skin this winter'

Hi Dr Chris
I am a 6 year old with very bad eczema i have it all over but it worse on my hands and feet, i have some very bad allergies too, I use viscopaste bandages but when im at school I can't wear these and also cant use thick moisturisers what can I use. my other question is how can my mom get allergy tests done the doctor will not run the tests but i sometimes react and we dont know what to, I also suffer with a transient irregular heart beat so when I do have a reaction this gets worse.
Thank you for any help that u can give me and my mom.

Hi Dr Chris,
I have psoriasis, but I would like to have a tattoo but I am really scared that it will not suit my skin. Do you think it is safe to have a tattoo with this skin condition?

Hi Dr Chris,
I have just been diagnosed with Dermographism and my doctor has told me there is no cure for and that it will disappear over time. It is really distressing as I like going out with my friends and now feel I can’t wear short sleeves anymore. Is there a treatment that will help the hives to go down or disappear?
