Hi @Sheena β Iβm assuming youβre looking for someone in Dubai?
Unfortunately, I have yet to come across a more holistic dermatologist in Dubai. But functional medicine or naturopathy is the way to go since eczema is very often rooted in the gut and toxins (or lack of proper clearance of toxins) and needs a holistic approach. Have you seen our Symptom Dictionary handout on eczema as an initial starting point to help you dig deeper from a root cause perspective?
If youβd like to work 1-1 with a functional/naturopathic doctor, I can recommend Dr. Zain at Joint Space, Dr. Heather Eade at Novomed or Dr. Sean Penny at Bedaya Polyclinic.
If youβd like to learn more about eczema, checkout Dr. Greenbergβs course: https://rootcausedermatology.com/eczema/ (she unfortunately doesnβt do virtual consults -sheβs in the US).
Finally, I can also recommend my colleague Dr. Julia Martin who specialized in eczema, and offers both private and group programs online: https://www.ex-zema.com/about
Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Morning Bernadette,
Thank you so much for the detailed response. I definitely think itβs connected to life stress (which has affected my gut too). I will look into the natural practitionerβs. I remember seeing Heather, over a decade ago!(yes Iβm in Dubai).
Do you know if any of them do mole mapping? Thereβs just a lot of little things for me and my kids that I wanted to get checked by a dermatologist. I canβt believe that we literally have 1000βs in Dubai but I also have not managed to find a more holistic one in 18 years
. Iβll keep you posted.
Thanks again
S.

@Sheena I know β I too have looked in the past and still keep waiting for an integrative dermatologist to show up on the scene in Dubai. Iβll be sure to let you know if I do find one.
In the meantime, checkout Genesis Healthcare Center. They have a dermatology clinic and offer mole mapping.
And working with a functional medicine practitioner or naturopathic doctor works too. Iβve personally helped a few clients (and kids) eliminate eczema. Itβs very much gut and detox related. Stress can absolutely be a trigger, but as you said, it absolutely impacts the gut as well.
You might also want to listen to Dr. Gβs session in B Better. Weβll be uploading the recording hopefully today. It touches on the emotional components to disease and cancer. Heβs seen eczema disappear when the nervous system is better regulated. If it resonates with you, you can find his emotional release courses here.

Thank you so much. I will explore these avenues in more depth. I will let you know if i come across anyone too. Hopefully dermatology will catch up like dentistry has in the very near future
