This week’s expert: Dr Anne Halbert, Consultant Dermatologist at Princess Margaret Hospital, Perth
The number one classic feature of atopic eczema is itch, even in little babies, says Dr Anne Halbert, consultant dermatologist at Princess Margaret Hospital in Perth.
“It’s itchy right from the very start,” she says.
