How to find the right eczema care
The finder shows dermatology doctors and clinics already in the directory. Start with the type of care, then narrow by emirate or name. A result means the published specialty is dermatology. It is not proof that a clinic treats eczema specifically, and it is not a commercial relationship with any medicines company.
There is no separate paediatric dermatology filter in this version. If you need care for a child, filter by emirate, then check the profile or call to confirm they see children, or browse the paediatrics specialty.
What eczema and atopic dermatitis are
Eczema is a general name for dry, itchy, inflamed skin. Atopic dermatitis is the long-lasting type that often starts in childhood and can continue or return later.
Flares look different from person to person. Some people have small patches. Others have larger areas. This page does not diagnose you and does not recommend a named medicine.
When to seek care, and when to get urgent help
See a dermatologist or clinic if itching or pain continues, if a rash affects sleep, work or school, or if what you already use at home is not helping.
Get urgent help by calling 999 if there is trouble breathing, sudden swelling of the face or lips, signs of a severe infection with fever, or a baby who seems very unwell. Medifinder is a directory, not an emergency service.
How Medifinder lists results
Medifinder currently lists 831 dermatologists and 222 clinics or hospitals across 4 emirates. A published specialty is why a result appears.
We do not infer a diagnosis, a treatment plan or insurance cover from a specialty listing. Those details stay unknown until the clinic or insurer confirms them.
Before you book
Use call, directions or book on the doctor or clinic profile. Confirm the appointment, whether they see adults or children, and whether your insurance is accepted for that visit.
A clinic appearing on an insurance network list does not prove your condition or treatment is covered. Cover depends on your policy and insurer approval.
Quick call checklist
- That the visit is for eczema or atopic dermatitis
- Age, and whether they see children
- Appointment or walk-in rules
- Cash consultation price
- Insurance approval and co-pay

Frequently asked questions
Does health insurance cover eczema care in the UAE?
Sometimes, when the visit and treatment are medically necessary under your policy. Network membership on Medifinder is not proof of benefit. Confirm with the clinic and your insurer before you go.
Is this medical advice?
No. This is general directory information to help you understand next steps and find dermatologists. Diagnosis and treatment decisions belong with a licensed clinician.
Why is there no paediatric dermatology filter?
Medifinder does not yet have a reliable separate paediatric dermatology specialty in this release. We show dermatologists and their clinics, and leave you to confirm on the profile or by phone.
