'Revolutionary' skin sensor could change how eczema is treated

For years, people living with eczema have endured endless trial-and-error treatments and long waiting lists to see a dermatologist.

Now, scientists at Heriot-Watt University believe they’ve developed “ground-breaking technology” that could revolutionise how the condition is diagnosed and treated.

The aim is to have the tool available in local pharmacies across the country, easing pressure on the NHS and creating simpler pathways to care.
